After about 13 years of service, my Krups 3000 has a corroded metal plate near the selector knob and I can not locate a spare part anywhere. This has lead me to a search for a replacement espresso machine and by all accounts the Sunbeam EM9610 should do the trick. The current redemption offer of the burr grinder is enough to push me over the edge and go ahead and buy one.
Of course, like most people, I do not want to pay the full recommended retail price. I would like to find out the best prices that people have paid and where. Given that many retailers will match prices, being armed with this information will hopefully allow me to save some money that can be converted to beans.
The practice of regularly reporting the lowest prices has worked very well in the digital TV forums. Very often people would pay $800 - $850 on a product with a RRP of $999. Many people have gone as far as posting a scanned version of their receipts so that other people could take printouts as evidence of competitive prices when purchasing. 8-) The retailers with the lowest prices did not object to being identified either - it drove more business to their stores.
So, I would like to encourage all purchasers of Sunbeam EM6910 to post information on how much they paid and where they purchased. Ill do the same when I buy mine.
