I honestly don't think you can find a decent polisher for $50 unless it's used and it's from a friend. If you're willing to spend more, you could purchase a used PC 7424.

there is a difference between a buffer and a polisher....the 10" thing at walmart cant correct paint defects where as a polisher like the pc or udm is designed for paint defect corrections....you get what you pay for....

Well I would assume whatever is local to you...

Most people don't ship on Craigslist because of fraud issues.
