Looking at a used Eastwood TIG 200 AC/DC fully loaded on craiglist. To clarify: I've been searching up and down trying to find a decent deal on an old school welder. The seller seems to keep dropping the price, so was going to try and talk him down to $600 with bottle, helmet and filler rod included. From what I've heard, if these aren't DOA they work pretty damn good. Anything in particular I should look out for?

Just try the machine out.
Run lots of beads try out all the settings make sure everything works.
Sounds like a good deal to me.

Just a couple welders and a couple of big hammers and torches.

My son bought one of those machines about 6 months ago. He got the complete welder on a cart with a full bottle of argon from a shop which was closing for $500. I had to repair the foot pedal, simple adjustment, and I ran a lot of beads on both steel and aluminum. I was impressed with the machine. He has used it quite a bit in his automotive repair business and it has been a good machine. For the $400 - $500 range, sounds like a resonable deal.
