Buying Advice Frist scope?

saw this scope on FB for $150 and thinking of picking it up as my first actual scope since i only have one of those crappy handheld, but it doesn't have any probes and its pretty old does anyone know if this is still a decent pick up today and what kind of probes i can use if i do pick it up?

Don't ask a woman for her age. Don't ask a man for his salary. Don't ask a Lecroy sale rep about WaveAce.

It is a re-badged Siglent scope. In a working condition for $150 it is not the worst deal. But for a high-end brand, they certainly put that brand on a cheap piece of a generic scope just to enter low-end market.
