Hi all. This is my first post here. It's a great site and even better forum.
I'm interested in buying a plain ol' vanilla Rancilio Silvia but MAN are they expensive. I don't need any frills - no PID, no accompanying Rocky, nada - just what I'd get in the box, if I bought it through a dealer/store. A few years old? Eh... no matter - as long as it works well and hasn't been dropped off a rooftop.
Hi there, Stainless steel has indeed gone through the roof due to all the appliances demand, but if it's all the same to you, I have a Ranchilio Nancy in absolutely mint condition, I picked it up at the auction sale along with the rebuilt Cremina 67.

JC--
I have a Silvia for sale. Lightly used, well maintained (Backflushed regularly, Descaled). The only upgrade is to a 52 watt Ulka pump. It makes great espresso, I am upgrading to a HX machine, that is the only reason I am selling.
$485. Plus actual shipping to you.
Thanks, and welcome to the wonderful world of espresso and coffee.
Thank you to all of those who offered up their Silvia. I do appreciate your time and consideration. I've been obsessing over this thing for long enough so I ordered one through 1stincoffee.com. Jim was very helpful and seems like a pretty cool guy.
Man I'm excited! I was told I have to wait on the Rocky, though. I wanted to order a gently-used doserless one but couldn't convince the other half that it was a worth-while expense all in one shot. You know how that goes. Maybe in a few weeks.
It's a pity it's so close to the weekend. It probably won't ship until tomorrow (I hope..) and won't arrive to early in the week.
I can't wait to start working on my espresso technique!
