    Me thinks that perhaps this thread may need to be renamed. Otherwise, well all want a thread named after us. Some who have moved on might need about 5 threads-  to cover any alters   ;D

    Your absolutely right of course ...

    Ive just bit the bullet and ordered a new Gaggia Classic from NSW, free delivery/Insurance and a 250 Ml bottle of descaler thrown in, though he wouldnt come at some sample coffee thrown in as well    
    living in Indonesia for some years hasnt improved my bargaining skills that much apparently ...  ;D
    Nice guy, patient and helpful, and I wouldnt hesitate to recommend him to anyone if asked.

    Generally with a store like HN, if you mention that you saw it advertised recently @ $499, chances are theyll consider the same offer for you, particularly if the same stock is still held.  Thats my experience with such a store, if you get the right salesperson, and provided the special mentioned didnt involve supplier credits to allow the low price etc.

    The simple fact is, no matter how cheap the special is, its always pretty safe to assume the store is still making some money on the item, with few exceptions such as genuine end of model/last of stock clearance etc.

    Anyway, all that is a long-winded way of saying, if your local HN/DJ/Good Guys type has stock of the machine youre after, go in and mention you saw it recently at $499 and see if they can offer similar.  No harm in trying.

    Im currently doing that with a couple of online dealers for the Gaggia ...

    There is one advertised offer Interstate for $559 delivered with Insurance, perhaps Its wishful thinking I might be able to better that, its the Scottish blood in me . :

    It was a junk mail flyer, one of those weekly deals. Thinking back, it may even have been Myer or D J

    With the right approach, you can always negotiate a deal with your local store. You just have to be willing to walk away if they arent willing to sell for the price you offer.

    Cheapest Ive seen new ones for was $499 at Hardly Normal a month or so back. $559 seems quite good.
    Would you mind sending me a PM with the store address, Ill give them a call and see if they still have them, you never know unless you ask ...

    No biggie mate. Just that you will attract members who own a similar machine in that category and therefore better able to help you out...

    What about a Sunbeam Arista ... on special at a major retail outlet ...
    This isnt really a Mid-Range machine CK and I would suggest opening a new thread in the Entry Level category....

    Sunbeam Arista

    sorry to bump my post ...


    What about a Sunbeam Arista ... on special at a major retail outlet ...
    The biding on Ebay looks like going over the top for a second hand machine! {Gagiga Classic}
    I pulled out due to some uncertainty over its condition.
