Try ebay, I was out at Drinks Problems in the UK recently getting my
coffee machine fixed and they had been given a Siemens home superauto
that turned out to be a rebadged Gaggia. They sold it on ebay but as
xmas was close they only got about 200 quid for it, they reckoned it
should have gone for quite a bit more.

I didn't think much of it myself to be honest, and wouldn't have
parted with 200 quid for it despite it being in brand new condition, I
have no idea how much these machines go for brand new but whatever it
is, it's way too much... Wet steam, vibro-pump, acres of plastic..

However if you want one or another superauto then ebay might work, or
try calling Drinks Problems directly, I bought my Visacreme FCX1 in
brand-new condition from them for 500 quid, just 100 quid more than
the Rancillo I was going to get.
