There is suddenly a glut of used LM kit around. Perhaps the result of SB dumping them, them dumping a buncha kit (used and otherwise) on the market, a raft of folk thinking, "This coffee business thing is a cinch!" and then finding out that t'aint necessarily so.

Just passed on a four group linea for $650 with about the same description, and there's a $500 three group in Denver.

I'll trade my Astoria Monster (Argenta SAE 2 RG) for a small two group Linea any day... ; >

Seriously? Craigslook didn't find 'em. Please shoot me the links. I'm always looking for good Linea 2,3 or 4 group deals. The last 4AV I paid $1k, after complete strip to chasis rebuilding inc. both brew boilers PID all in $4k. (wouldn't have been that much but steam boiler was cracked and couldn't repair so $4k included new steam boiler) 3AV before that PID yada yada all in $3500:)

Well the $650 one was advertised in PHX Craig's List (pointed out on HB a coupla days ago), and Denver has one that has a list of machines for $500 a piece. Presently, there is a three group Linea on it. The two group already went. For $500.
I remember the cities, but I'm not sure that I could find the links again.

Check HB, I think in the 'Espresso Machines' section?

(Yep, called, "Anyone want an LM project? Craigslist find!")

I have a 2 group Linea for sale for $3,000. Would need some love before going into a busy shop but has been great to me for the year Ive been using it at home.

Anyone interested, contact me and I'll work something out with you. I'm in AZ currently.
