That's what I was thinking - no major damage, in working order, with case and accessories, for $150? Worth it, IMO, even if I do need to have it serviced (or maybe do a bit of work on it on my own).
when a price is this low, you really need to do a hands-on inspection. especially check for any areas where paint is gone to grey metal kind of white looking.--.there can be "aluminum rot" and it is a mess to deal with & repair. be sure the bobbin case is intact ($50).decals can not be fixed or replaced unless all is repainted. but wear does not matter for sewing, just a good motor, etc. you can do the maintenance yourself. good luck !
