Yes Mal that may be the one I was thinking of. Anyway Terry, the only place I can recommend is Veneziano in Melbourne as I know them to be a good establishment with passionate people behind it. There are no doubt others who sell it but I couldnt comment on their service. Dont necessarily be put off by the distance involved; these and other site sponsors will bend over backwards to help even from a distance. Im in Adelaide and all my equipment has come from Victoria - my Silvia came second-hand from a CS member, I bought a Compak grinder from Talk Coffee and a Mazzer Mini grinder from Veneziano and I cant speak more highly on the pre and post sales service from all three. In one I had to return the unit and the sponsor in question even helped out with freight both ways. Cant ask for much more than that! Though I certainly think thats going above and beyond what one could expect.
I cant remember exactly who now, but I think that there was some kind of promotional offer going with a non-sponsor coffee chain to encourage people to buy their coffee. This promotion finished a long time ago though.....
thanks for the responses so far.
We have seen prices from $1200 to $1545 on the net.
And we do understand that "quality remains when price is forgotten" especially when it comes to service etc.

Hi all.
First time login. We are looking to purchase a new Simonelli Oscar in Brisbane.
Thanks to all for the past posts which have helped us come to this decision.
We noticed a previous post which indicated a price advantage of around $1000, but cant now seem to find it.
Is this reasonable expectation to pay this amount? It seems the best we have seen is $1200 +.
Any advice appreciated.
Hi Terry and welcome....
The price you have seen seems very reasonable to me, given a RRP of $1400+. Site sponsor Veneziano Coffee sell them too so it might be worth calling them.
Can I encourage you to look for service, knowledge of the machine and after sales support- as you will remember them long after you forget what you paid for the item....A few extra bucks at purchase may save you big money later....
