While I like how the machine looks, my house will never be as large as my parents and I need to sell the stuff they've left me. I don't know what this machine is worth (macchina no 17459 from the name plate on the machine) and would appreciate any advice. I see one for sale in Australia for >$500 AU which seems to be high (and it's been listed for a long time).
If you're kindly taking the time to respond to this, any advice on the Nespresso D300 would be appreciated. I got fed up with paying for their only decent coffee that never quite tasted strong enough. Is there a market for these machines?
The only market I know of for a Nespresso is a flea market/garage sale/craigslist-type of transaction, and the price you'll get won't be very good. The Paradiso will make much better quality coffee, but . . . I'll grant you there is probably someone who would pay a lot more for your Paradiso than for your Nespresso.

To be clear, I was looking for advice in unloading both of them. I've had to scale back my coffee consumption, dont' have the space or ability to use either anymore.

Hi Brandon,
thanks for your lines ... it is a great little machine indeed ... and I still hope one will get across my way soon ... Hopefully your eBay buyer will discover a new dimension of coffee brewing :-)
