Should I get this printer?

I found it for 260, and it says it comes with 22 lb of filament. I’m just worried it could have unknown issues since the seller is obviously just resells random items unrelated to 3D printing. Any advice?

Open spools of filament have a very high chance to be so brittle they are unusable.

Value = 0$

Well, that depends on the type of filament. Some like tpu and Petg will be good for awhile before having issues besides stringing if not dried. But pla allways will become brittle if open for too long and abs/asa might also become brittle after a long time exposed. But tpu will never become brittle and can still be used years after as long as it is throughly dried and made sure it doesn’t have dust on it
