Auction Finds: Espresso Machines Abound

Have you ever wondered how to make money on eBay?

Recently, we attended a local auction and came away with two unlikely items. Well, a few months ago they would have been unlikely. In the past few weeks Espresso Machines have become a common staple in our inventory. These two espresso machines were especially unusual, to me at least, so I thought I would show one of them with you and see what you thought.

The first of the two is an Olympia Express Cremina machine. It is a fairly small one spot espresso machine. It is made in Italy and apparently is a very high end and expensive machine. Click here for some info on it.

I was surprised at how expensive it was, mainly because of another espresso machine that we sold a while back. It was a 3 spot machine. It was much bigger, much heavier and sold for right around $1,500. This machine on the other hand is relatively small and light. However, it is projected to sale at around $1,000.

Kinda weird how it works out sometimes.

We Paid: $320
Projected Sell: $1,000
Margin: 68%
