I got a similar deal with mine a couple of years ago. Paid less than $50 for it and don't remember the service cost - just because I wanted it cleaned and serviced. Also took a general serger class for around $20/session - only took a couple but got very valuable info in the class and the books alone that were given out were worth the class fees. I don't use it much - and didn't anticipate I would which is why I went the route I did and am happy I did so. Not a lot of $$ invested in something I wasn't sure about but am glad I have.

The major benefit of a serger is speed & the ability to handle difficult fabrics with ease -- a function of differential feed. Old sergers are just that -- OLD. no nostalgic value like old sewing machines. so, how cheap is cheap? and what do you plan to sew with it? new BL sergers are awesome, but beware of old sergers of any brand
