I went to look at some machines that were listed including an industrial serger - which I left behind because it weighed a ton. I ended up getting a Singer Overlock new in the box for $100 - could have gotten it for a lot less if I went later in the day, but didn't want to take the chance. Another $50 got me all this thread, bobbins, venise trim, needles, seam binding, and two specialty feet - one for satin finish and one for beads. I would have liked to pay about half but still, I'm happy. Did I do OK? Got an old fashioned spool holder at another sale for $10
