From How to choose an espresso machine and grinder at the "right" price:
HB wrote:Q. What are your recommendations for buying used espresso equipment?
A: With the warning that I'm not a savvy eBay shopper, I'll offer my opinion, cobbled together from my previous replies on the subject.
The availability of used second and third tier espresso equipment is good; the basic first tier equipment described earlier isn't made to last, so the working condition and resale value are dicey. Mazzer grinders typically go for 50% to 70% of the current retail price. Resale value of a used espresso machine is less reliable since their value is tightly coupled to popularity. If you pick a popular model, can sell for the same 50% to 70% of current retail price if kept in top condition, should you decide to upgrade someday.
If a used model still in production with average popularity were in pristine condition but recent models have seen improvements in feature/reliability in the interim, the best price it can fetch is around 50% of today's model's full retail price. The price falls precipitously if the question of needed repairs enters into the equation, i.e., a few hundred at best.

In my honest opinion $1500 is too high for a used Mini Vivaldi S1 (not VII). You can buy a brand new mini Vivaldi SII for a few hundred more, maybe even only a couple hundred more if you call some vendors.

I believe that there has only been one mini. I do not believe that there ever was a mini of the Vivaldi I.
I agree that $1500 sounds high to me for a used mini.
I have owned a Vivaldi II since April of 2007 and love it.

I think that's right.I believe that there has only been one mini. I do not believe that there ever was a mini of the Vivaldi I.
For what it's worth, I paid $1,575 for a 1 year old Mini that was babied with pre-infusion chamber, bottomless portafilter, two tampers, and no-burn steam arm included.

There was both a V1 and V2 of the mini Vivaldi.
Here's the Mini Vivaldi S1 V1:

This is the first time that I have seen the V1 with the single manometer. The only one I remember seeing from Chris' Coffee is the V2 with the dual manometer.
$1500 for a V1 without a bunch of extra stuff thrown in sounds high to me.

The V2 Mini was a CCS exclusive for a long time while the V1 Mini was sold in Europe & by a few North American dealers.

If the machine was bought a year ago would it not be a V2? For a one year old mini v2 in good condition I think $1500 is a good price. The few I saw while looking for around 3 months were in the $1600 ballpark.

For a couple hundred more get one with a warranty and after purchase service.
