All Knowledge is Contained In My Friends List

I've got a shopping question about sergers. I've been putting off getting one until I had a larger space, which I should have by next month. What are some good brands (especially if there are dealers/repairpeople in Lawrence). What is the minimum I should look for (i.e. I know my mini serger from a garage sale is useless)? Anyone got one for sale?

I had a Singer overlock machine for years that did very well by me. (Have heard bad things about Singers from some people but mine was not plagued by the problems they describe). Then I saved up and saved and saved and saved and went to Missouri Sewing Machine in KC and got a Babylock Imagine. I *LOOOOVVVEEE* it.

It has that air-guided-through-tubes automatic threading and does lots of stuff that I don't even know how to do yet. And it's pretty easy to clean and maintain.

I have a Singer that works fine that I'm looking to sell (since we have 3 sergers at the moment). The only drawback is that it takes a brand specific needle rather than regular sewing needles, but there are at least 2 places in town that sell them. Let me know if you are interested.
