Bga Rework machine worth IT now?

[Repairable]

Hi all.

Would IT be worth IT to buy a bga machine now?
apple stopt the program
and If i Can get a machine cheap ofcourse

im not sure a cheap station is what you want, my soldering station was a yihua 787 and now i have a hakko FR-810B and a fx-951, the hakko setup was $2000 more than the yihua and the difference is night and day, im sure that the same is true with the cheap and expensive IR rework stations

By getting IT cheap i mean buying used or from auction not cheap in pos

id say used would be smart, for me im in perth australia and out of the 50 or so boards that ive had through my shop only 3 were dead gpu

i'm the cheap fuck of the forum and i have reballed my old HP laptop using a broken electric stove as pre heater and my hot air station with a makeshift square nozzle made with iron wire & tin foil and that shit works

said that i have tried one of those cheap ir stations you see on ebay, the T862 862++ that a friend bought and i rather use the elecric stove again instead of that thing. So for now nope, fuck GPU replacement. i rather have my employer/benefactor save money for a pc3000 tho
