EBay Olympia Cremina record? - Page 17

I guess they thought $1800 was too much:

Olympia Cremnia Espresso machine - $1700


And it's not a Cremina anymore. It's a CremNIA. Sounds Russian.

I am sure that he is just 'flipping' his investment just as many did during the real estate mania over the past couple of years. Perhaps the price that is being asked is causing others to do some flippin' of their own... :P :lol:

The original listed price for the CG sale was $1600, and the seller had some feedback about it which brought the price down quite a bit, and then the buyer turns around and tries to sell it for more than the original asking price. I guess there's nothing stopping someone from doing it, but that just seems overly greedy. Very surprising and a reminder that not everyone is in it just for the coffee.

An Ebay Cremina in very nice condition with a "buy it now" price of $699 listed today and sold today. Maybe the Craigslist seller should consider removing the 1 in front of the $1,700!:lol: Some people just dream bigger than others... :wink:

Ya Greg you are right but its kind of like giving up an old friend. :(

Not much doing here, snow is over our ears in the hills of Vermont and I have not had much time for the 'C' lever project. :?
But Spring will come someday (After 'Mud Season') and I have hopes of continuing the project then. Until later then...
