In original packaging, with all accessories and manuals supplied. Our lack of sophistication is your good luck! Used for only a week; it’s simply not for us (learning from posting here...). Great machine. Easy to use. If you are familiar with the line, no explanation needed. If not, check the reviews; a quality piece of equipment. retails for $600-$700.
review excerpts:
Combining innovations from the BMW Group with Italian styling, the Saeco Odea Giro makes perfect espressos, lattes, cappuccinos and more gourmet hot drinks in virtually no time at all. Sleek and elegant, the Saeco automatic cappuccino machine features simple dial and touch button controls to easily select your desired coffee strength and adjust coffee intensity while brewing. The built-in ceramic grinder ensures a more consistent grind and quietly operates with ceramic burrs that stay sharper longer than steel counterparts. The pre-brewing cycle maximizes flavor extraction and you maintain more control over each cup's density and body. With 15 bars of pump pressure and 1,500 watts of power, the Saeco Odea Giro Cappuccino Machine efficiently grinds, doses, tamps, brews and then discards coffee grounds in an easy-clean internal coffee dregs drawer...
.....If you’re looking to enjoy Saeco’s cutting-edge super automatic technology the Saeco Odea Giro is perfect. The sleek silver and graphite housing of the Odeo Giro is a wonderful addition to any kitchen. In addition to its modern look, the Giro features a wide range of programming features to make brewing simple and fast. The Giro gives you complete control over any coffee, cappuccino or espresso brew, letting you customize your grind setting, liquid volume, pre-infusion, and coffee strength with the turn of a dial or a press of a button. The Rapid Steam system means you never have to wait between brewing and steaming.

I have a friend who uses a similar model to this every morning, and then makes drinks with his commercial machine in the afternoon. He's owned a number of super automatics and really digs the controls, convenience and performance.
I think selling locally on Craigslist might be easier, just because most coffeegeeks want to experiment with control that super automatics don't really allow. Sounds like a solid price for a machine that will hold up great. Maintenance is simple and parts are available.

thanks. selling locally was our first thought and we posted on craigslist. unfortunately, we are not in what could in any way be considered a hotbed of sophistication regarding coffee.... or most any other gastronomic venture (Dunkin Donuts is the big seller)... so i don't expect much.
