No.
I'd add another 25-30 bucks and get a new set from Performance or Nashbar.
At least with new ones, you'll know the bearings arent worn out.
Offer 50 bucks.

Guys I appreciate the cander. I'm definitely am going to pass. A fellow rider offered up an extra set of rollers he has for me to use this winter. It will give me a great idea if I like them. I hope so because I truly do not like trainers. I feel like I'm riding on a flat rear tire. The resistance doesn't feel natural. I would like to improve my cadence, riding technique and pedaling efficiency. Then in the spring or summer I can buy a set of rollers on clearance from Nashbar.
