Hi Attilio
Thanks heaps for your response. I found it very helpful.
Upon re-reading my post I am sorry if it came across that I was expecting a fully reconditioned unit for the price. You are right that any work done on the machine would quickly add up in labour costs alone.
I was more trying to get an idea whether the price they were asking for it was in the ball park / reasonable.
I assume in this case Bezzera have factored that in and the 3 month warranty they offer is also worth a bit too... i.e. vs buying at auction when there is mostly no recourse for any problems

I guess another question to factor in would be is the second hand machine much more likely to have any future costs over a new one or is the build / parts quality such that this would be comparable.
Im probably thinking of it all too much with a used car mentality. "Has the timing chain been done, as that is the major upcoming expense on model X at Y number of kilometers."
