Stay far away.

So sorry to disappoint you, but:

1. "School model" sewing machines are one of the oldest scams in the book.

1. 9 will not buy you a brand-new heavy-duty machine, but it

*would* buy you an older reconditioned heavy-duty machine if you hunt until you find one.

1. A machine will sew or it will serge. One machine cannot do a true serging stitch and still have all the functions of a regular sewing machine.

Run, don't walk away from deals like that. Emily

That is what I thought. Figured it was a scam. I had that little nagging voice in my head. The price was just way too low. Thanks for all of the replies and confirming my little voice. Debbie

You're welcome, but $199 is not necessarily too low to get an older reconditioned machine from a sewing machine dealer in good condition. Mine cost me $129 and has 30 stitches and is an absolutely gorgeous machine, and my daughter is INSANELY jealous of me that I have it.

If you had gone to see the machines, you would have found that they don't actually sell anyone the advertised machine. It's a hook for bait and switch.
