Market value of used Bezzera Family

Postby benhogan on Wed Sep 14, 2011 4:01 pm

I've got the chance to purchase one of these from the '70s. It is a 220V machine. Assuming it's in average shape, what would the market value be? I've always liked the look of this machine and don't want to over pay. Also does anyone know if it's got a direct connect line?

thanks to all the HB experts for your help

I looked at one very recently as well. I saw lots of "private" sales with no items or prices and lots of cheap toys listed. Caveat emptor

it seems fishy too since the prices for that and the SAMA "club" then dropped fairly drastically. They do claim to sell "collectibles" so thought might be ok. I low-balled and the counter was reasonable but they then dropped prices and since no HB's had responded I backed away. I had done a search on this site and found this thread.

Same guy? or complex scam?
