They consume power of course, and also some type of coolant I believe - the link suggests its liquid helium which as far as coolants go is one of the pricier types. Maybe newer kinds can use cheaper material like liquid nitrogen.
All the same, not costly. Just subject to massive markup like everything in medicine.

It could cost $25k/year to keep the helium topped off. I'm sure that factors into the price of used machines.
