Im looking to buy a scroll saw for some patterns I am looking to cut out,
mostly toys, and ornaments and things like that. As ive never bought one
before what should I look for and can you recommend any? Can a good one be
bought for under 200$ or do I need to spend more?

If you are really limited in budget, search Craig's list and ebay.
Just about every week in our town, someone posts a used scrollsaw for
$40-60. I'm not a scrollsaw expert, but you could put a rubber pad
underneath it and bolt it to a workbench to help reduce vibration (the
main complaint about cheaper saws).

If you enjoy it, you can save up for a premium saw.
