Welcome to AllMetalShaping Dominik.
I'm fortunate to have found two Eckolds at relatively reasonable prices. They are amazing machines and capable of changing how one approaches shaping metal. That said, there is nothing in metal shaping that can't be done with simple hand tools. The only thing that more sophisticated machines do is convert your money into time savings. On the other hand, until you understand how, when, and where to shape the metal, machines will allow you to build a large scrap pile very quickly indeed.
