euro 220 volt plugs don't work in the US.

I'm assuming he will cut off the plug and fit a US 240 V model.

And BTW, 'homer'

a NEW gaggia of this type is about USD 450.00 max, let alone an
unknown UNwarranteed USED one.

You don't know how cheap I am.

Hey guys, you don't know how cheap I am!!

After all I am the one who paid virtually nothing for it in the first place!

BTW this machine has a common triangular female plug in a hole in the back
where you can insert ANY power cable from ANY other device, especially any
desktop computer power supply. (It is the simple one which isn't the figure
8 one or the bunny ears one) And I have already said that I do have a 1500
watt transformer in my living room as well as that unusual Spanish-looking
208v A/C socket. i am perfectly prepared to test this thing out.

What I don't see happening is anyone bidding from Europe who is prepared to
pay shipping on it to outside the US???
