I paid about 1k for mine, it had some issues but nothing major. If you're handy with tools I can recommend the Smith unit, but like I said parts can be a problem. A better rig with better parts availability will definitely cost more. You might want to rent one rather than buy.
Where did you see a new 100cfm gas compressor for 3k?
