I don't imagine too many make it too eBay. You could probably sell one on here to the next person who wants to strip something. The diy thread has seen a few people buy them and have some success with them. I looked for a more locally produced version when I bought mine years ago but couldn't find anything.
Speedheater Cobra is the cheapest infra red stripper. It's not really designed for doors but it does the job well enough that it's just boring not boring and painful. It's also not cheap but there should be a healthy second hand market.
Otherwise Metabo make a machine called the LF724s. It's a proper handful, probably the most dangerous tool I own. Has a habit of eating it's own safety guards. Basically an angle grinder with tungsten blades attached to a wheel. It ejects tiny sharp bits of paint at around 1000mph, they are all aimed at your eyes. Anything it touches is reduced to fragments. Everyone who trys it is simultaneously frightened and impressed :)
