Save your money, even if it's 99 cents.
I had one of those in my formative years, and the first thing that's gonna
happen is the silicone steam hose is gonna pop off a fitting inside. You will
find that disassembling this unit more than a challenge. Shortly after that, the
water isn't going to heat up enough to make a decent shot, and one of the
buttons on the side is going to break from its glue mooring inside and fall in
the case.
Those machines are worse than crap.

Thanks for your words - it certainly could not have been that you
abused yours. And at a start bid of 99 cents, I think you're right-
don't think about buying a $300 unit for 99 cents!
BTW, don't give me any stock tips!~

We won't give you any stock tips if you keep your auctions out of our
group. If you want to play in our neighborhood and be part of what's
going on, offer the unit to the group first. Advertising your auctions
here is bad form, particularly for crap like this. For $0.99 + the $20
shipping it MIGHT be worth the purchase for the pump in it, but that's
about it.
Now go away...

A bit touchy tonight, Randy? Let the bugger post his auctions; the only ones
who'll bite probably need a lesson in Caveat Emptor school of economics.
;)
I've always wondered if one couldn't take one of these 99 cent marvels of
technology & strip them for parts & sell the parts on eBay fro a lot more
money?

Are you that lame? The thing weighs 13 pounds. Shipping is not $20. its
$15 and that is what it will cost to ship, not any more. IF you don't
want to read an FA then don't but it is good form and excepted
everywhere that if you have an auction and put FA: to show it then
bring it on. Further, I did offer it to this group bone head. And they
cost me $50 each so .99 cents is a F%&*@NG good price to offer it at.
Maybe you should stop drinking so much that you turn into a total dick

You do know that company is in Australia, right? They have their own $$
there and they don't equal ours here in the US.
Look, if you don't want to buy one then don't but I'm done with most
everyone here.

You do know that all these machines are made in China, right? See

which country they're being SOLD in.

I do get a little tweaked when someone badmouths something like this-
mine or someone else's. I bought 20 of these things because they were a
good deal and ALL I wanted was to get a few at a good deal and to sell
off the rest at near cost. So far I sold 2 and lost money and this jerk
is saying that .99 cents is not a good deal for a starting bid!
What a wanker

The point was that you dropped in here and instead of offering them to
the group at a fair price or asking for offers, you used the group for
your own marketing/profiteering/business purposes. Instead of calling
ahead and dropping by like a friend and asking if we were interested
you knocked on the door like a traveling salesman.
