Budget XLR ideas?

[mattonfire]

I'd like to get a XLR podcast setup willing to spend around £130 on total components. I assume I'm looking in the wrong place but I'm unable to find audio interfaces to buy. Looked on Amazon and they're all out of stock then go to eBay and they're all ridiculous prices. The beyringer UMC22 should be around £30 yet the cheapest listing on eBay is £120.  Could anyone recommend some good budget components for getting into it.

Behringer UM2 and a cheap XLR mic, if you have a treated room or there isn't much background noise go with a condenser (like the MXL V67G, 3U Audio CM1 or Rode NT1) if there is a large amount of background noise get a dynamic mic (Tbone MB75, most cheap behringer or samson stuff) and an inline mic preamp like the Klark Teknik CT1. Check out the Podcastage youtube channel for reviews on cheap XLR mics and cheap audio interfaces if you're not sure which one you want to go with.

Oh, and buy from Thomann, will probably end up being much cheaper for you.
