Subject: How much is a broken super automatic worth?
|
Hi all,
I have an "electrically dead" Saeco Caffe Charisma (Black). Worked one day,
not the next. Something is 'dead' inside it electrically I'm guessing. Its
about 2 years old. I've had it apart to check for water leaks or
disconnected wires - and all seemed fine, so I assume the problem is on the
electrons control board etc.
Is this worth anything to anyone for parts etc? Would it sell on ebay etc?
If it IS worth something - roughly speaking, how much?
Cheers,
Rob

You'd be surprised what will sell on ebay. I sold a laptop whose screen had
an altercation with a glass of red one once and lost, and got a surprisingly
large percentage of what I'd paid for it when it was a new "closeout."
There is no explaining or predicting what you would get for it, but it won't
be zero.

Do be careful when listing any large or heavy item on Ebay. Recent
changes in price structure by UPS and USPS can lead to some surprisingly
high shipping charges compared to just a few months ago.
