I paid $125 for my used Babylock serger years ago & do like it. I was waiting very early one morning for a flight - 1st person there at our rather small airport except for maintanance personnel. I started a conversation with a bag checker when she arrived. She liked the hand applique & embroidery on the shirt I was wearing, offered her serger for sale (she inherited it when she married a widower) & I bought it sight unseen. I picked it up when returning from my trip. When a deal shows up, I thought, "You snooze; you lose" :+)
