I am selling mine for $180!(free shipping)
Hardly used, maybe a handful of times. Comes with everything. Thread accessories, owners manual, electronic foot control, screw drivers specific for the machine.
PM me if you are interested :)

I have a BabyLock Evolve and I absolutely love it. I love the jet-threading loopers and the self-adjusting tension. It is so much less frustrating with those 2 features than the other basic serger I owned before. I have a daughter who is vertically challenged (read "less than 5 feet tall") so I use the cover stitch a lot for shortening sleeves on T-shirts and hems on everything from skirts to pj pants and the rolled hem for prom dresses, etc. Now that my friends know I have this machine I get requests from them to shorten stuff all the time. Just slipcovered my sofa and used the serger on most of the seams because I feel like it makes a stronger seam. But this model is very pricey so you have to weigh the price against how much you'll use it.

I have a great serger, my aunt gave it to me many years ago, when she bought it, it was top of the line.. I love it. I use it to piece together my quilts blocks.. Works great.. I use my regular sewing machine to do the quilting and sewing the rows together.. I could see how it would be hard to use on smaller pieces of fabric. I have a 1/4" seam on it and it trims off the execess..

I bought my babylock in the eighties and it just keeps making perfect stitches and runs like a top. I really don't know how I could sew certain things with out it.
I suppose you should think how much you would use it before making such a large investment.
Here is a topper I made with mine last year in a class...

I have a Bernina 4-thread that was expensive when it was purchased nearly 20 years ago and had a Bernina 3-thread before that. I have used it extensively to make clothes. I use it less now because with the humidity over here, keeping the tension correct is sometimes difficult, but I wouldn't be without one.
