Dave,
I actually bought mine on eBay about 3 years ago. It's a great machine
and we use it weekly. It easily handles hard ice cream when making a
milkshake or malt. In fact, I usually can only use it set on the lower
power setting. Make sure that you confer with the seller that it's in
perfect operating condition. Since they were built for commercial use,
it will probably last you forever!

P. S. - Enjoy!
