        check out the breville 2nds shops (google them)

        u still might get one "new" at a good price, they are fairly well regarded in the budget class (i have never owned a working one) but have toyed with a few broken ones

          Yep, Ive had many good experiences buying from the bay. Also had one or two bad ones. for something like this, unless the price is REALLY good, Id want to be able to collect and pay on collection, that way you can see it working and if it doesnt work, just walk away.

          Buying online from anyone (auction or internet store) is risky. You have to evaluate those risks yourself.

          As noted above, there are often some good bargains to be had on the hardware for sale section of coffeesnobs, or even occasionally on Pay It Forward when people have old gear they want to pass on for free.
          For Breville stuff, the Breville clearance outlets have some great bargains and a 12 month warranty. Not sure if there is one within driving distance for you though.

            For the $120 that its going for, probably cant really go wrong. Assuming the machine works, it would be a good entry into decent coffee.

            Combine this with some fresh beans from Beanbay or one of the sponsors (or a $10 popcorn machine and some green beans from Beanbay).

              Hmm.. tbh, $120 for an ebay product seems a bit much and risky..

              Not sure now but last time I looked Breville is selling most for $190-$200? So for $70, you get a warranty and at least guaruntee working product at purchase..

                I bought an Ikon this way for a friend.
                I got to see it working before sealing the deal.
