I'm not sure, but am I missing something here? The Mini Vivaldi II sells for $1995 from Clive, where you get a $125 gift certificate for other purchases. Is this the same machine? If it is, a $45 'discount' (to say nothing of the coupon) for a used (not even open-box) machine suggests to me that either I'm wrong about which machine this is, or that perhaps the offer price is somewhat, er, high.
Btw: I know it says "price not negotiable," but before I get modded, let me just say that I'm not trying to negotiate price. I'm just trying to make sure that I've got the right machine.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe this one comes with a barista though I can't imagine what it would cost to ship one with the machine. Hopefully female with a slight build.

FYI I purchased my Vivaldi II from an CG member for significantly less with Espro calibrated tamper and bottomless portafilter. I purchased the machine only without a grinder combo. However....

Its $2k brand new, only 6 months old.
Id say anywhere between $1300 and $1700 is acceptable. I personally wouldn't pay more than that I dont think.
