Hey man, don't get the shits on with "the peanut gallery" because they speak the truth. Lets do the numbers then shall we. Your machine is now obsolete according to Bezzera and is no longer imported into the country. If there is one hanging around somewhere they cost $2500 brand new. Haggle a bit and I reckon $ 2200 is easily achievable on an obsolete model. Now, we all know that espresso machines drop 50% of their value after 1 year ( unless something special) even if new in box never used. Now, given that yours is at least a few years old and is an entry level machine ( a very good one granted) that means that it is worth sub $ 1000. On a good day with the right buyer specifically looking for that machine you might just get $ 1000. If you actually want to sell it then you have to give someone incentive to buy it. You have been trying to sell this thing for ages. That should tell you something.
