I have found a creality ender 3 pro on facebook marketplace for $75, would this be a good 3d printer at a good price for my first time?

I probably wouldn’t be printing too often, but I have a number of ideas for things that I’d like to try making.

I started with anet a8, For the price pretty much everything is diy or propietary I would say the ender 3 pro for 75 would be good as that leaves you with 225 left for spare parts or upgrades. But if you want it to work out of the box search for used prusa's.
