OP asked for cheapest. Not the best compressor out there for affordable price.
Cheapest would be the yong heng. You can get one for 250 shipped plus tax, shame on ebay for now taxing. But most places now taxes anyways. All you need is a bottle of oil and an gold filter. Been running mine for 2 years with no issues. I change my gold filter every 3 months. I would not recommend running the yong heng without a filter. Oil and water will get into your gun.
The tax issue is driven by the states. Ebay collects taxes from the buyer because the states collect taxes from eBay and Amazon and every other I ternet seller. Hardly the fault of ebay.
I've been using ebay for years and it never tax. I think they only started taxing in 2019 if I'm not wrong. But yeah its stupid state wanting to get greedy and taxing everything. I missed the old ebay where we never paid tax and free shipping.
Not to get off topic, but the SCOTUS ruling for taxing where there is no "nexus" varies quite a bit...
Economic nexus regimes have taken several forms from click-through nexus to internet “cookies” nexus, or in the form of a notice and reporting requirement. The South Dakota law at issue in Wayfair requires out-of-state sellers with at least 200 separate sales transactions or $100,000 in sales to South Dakota’s residents in the current or prior calendar year to collect and remit South Dakota’s state and local sales taxes; 17 states have similar but varied economic nexus laws.
