[west912]

Thanks to everyone who showed interest and followed this thread.
The Vesuvius is now sold.
I will miss her but I am sure her new owner will appreciate her as much as I did.
A big thanks to all the snobs for the positive feedback and support.

Alas I am currently playing Rocket R Nine One... GLWS tho.

Pretty hard to trump that. Very nice choice of machine. Thanks for the good wishes. Enjoy

I know you NEED it Caffeinator. We can make it happen. You will then have to change your title to “Over Caffeinated “ lol

I couldn’t agree with you more. Thanksfor the mention.

Hi West, As someone who bought a 3k+ setup from a fellow CS-er earlier this year - its a mix of timing and the right machine. The Vesuvius is a real one of a kind, and there may be those in the market for a Synchronika, Pro 700, Lelit etc.....that are not aware of the tech advancements the Vesuvius has to offer. That and its a one of a kind looker also.... (kinda reminds me of the tesla truck). I think she looks great. If I hadn't locked down the Synchronika, I would be very much interested in the Vesuvius!

I have definitely advertised the sale with some mates in the market for a DB!!!
GLWTS!!

Insanely good buying at this price.

Perhaps this is where I have failed. I might have to reconsider my offer. I have an m4d sitting around gathering dust. What if I offer this for let’s say $3600 (it’s got new burrs ) and I will throw in a FREE Vesuvius. Hahaha.

I thought you would have been deluged with interest in the absence of the usual caveat "grinder not included in sale".

I have just purchased a new machine and to be honest I for so long had liked these machines and was always busy looking around for one for sale. On top of that I also considered so many times of buying one brand new after doing a load of research on them. The machine i have now, i wouldnt go back on but I must admit when i saw this come up for the price it was I kicked myself a little. I even considered in the back of my head could I have a second machine...

I should stop now as i know what im thinking....but my partner...she'd shoot me...

I believe, (but dont know) its reasonably priced. As 338 said above, maybe timing...

Good luck with the sale!! I personally think it would be worth it for anyone looking in the price range!!

Hi Chris. I know exactly what your are experiencing. I was in the exact same position when I bought her. I had a less than a year old rotary pump machine on the counter and just could not resist, and took the plunge when we agreed on a fair price. BTW you can never have too many machines. At one stage I had 5 machines and about 6 grinders. I have now downsized somewhat and I am being realistic in that I would love to have the time to experiment more with the Vesuvius as I don’t think I have got the best out of her yet, but life just gets in the way.

[west912]

You are correct, this is the same machine and yes he was being optimistic with his original asking price. I have no regrets with the purchase and obviously don’t expect to sell it for what I paid.

Hi Mr West, this might be the one sold out of Canberra a year ago. I was thinking very seriously about it then, but you might remember he had two attempts, the first taking a while probably due to the high starting price. Even his second attempt i remember being around longer than five days. Your price is reasonable, but timing isn't great being advertised over the Christmas season. I would allow a week or two for the enquiries to start.
