Hi all,
firstly, I have to admit that I have a problem.
I love espresso and cuppucino cups, and coupled with my slight tendancy towards hoarding, I have accumalted excess stuff.
My wife has asked me to be 'rational' and get rid of the stuff we don't need or use.
So I am starting off my first sale with some cups, and there might be a second round of sell offs in the next few weeks depending how long it takes to sell this lot.

Pickup is Melbourne, Eastern Subrubs, or CDB during the working week. Call me or PM and I can meet half way. I can post if you would like, haven't worked out postage so send me a PM if you want them posted. I'd prefer not to post if possible, I just don't trust Australia Post and breakage can be an issue.
Also, if there are a few people who are after sets of 2 cups and not a set of 6, I could do that but only if there are at least 3 people asking for the same cups. I don't want to be left with odds and sods, after all the object of the sale is to clear out excess cups and keep my wife happy!
So here we go:
First up are some La Marzocco cups I bought from the trash and treasure market in Wantirna a few months ago. I have kept a box of 6 espresso cups which I use daily, and selling the other 6. Made by IPA, who incidently made Illy cups, so the quality is first rate and just beautifully made. Unused, and in pure white with red text. Asking $35 for the 6.
Second are Nuova Point espresso cups. Used but only for about 18 months. Excellent condition. They are excellent quality, white colour. The dark marks on the bottom of the cup are manufacturing marks, not damage from use. Asking $30 for 6.
Third are a set of 200ml Moretti Italian Hot chocolate cups and matching saucers. New in box and unused. I have 6 in my cupboard for daily use, and they are my morning cappucino cups. Great size, and ivory in colour with brown and orange printed logo. Asking $25 for 6.
The last set is a set of Vintage Spode Flemish Green espresso cups, saucers and matching sugar bowl. 6 cups, 7 saucers and 1 sugar bowl. All in used vintage condition, but excellent condition for their age. Lovely to drink from and swirl espresso. Will miss them. One cup has a small chip on the bottom, which I have shown in the foto, but the rest are perfect. They are a collectors set, and over 50 years old, so they should go on the bay of evil, but I thought I would offer them to the CS community first. Asking $80 for the set.
PM me with any questions.
Sort of sad doing this! :-(
