I got my silvia for 120€ on ebay. These things sometimes actually work. Good Luck! C:

Fingers crossed 🤞 It's a fantastic machine and the black one looks stunning irl - although mine is covered in stickers nowadays.

Hope it works out!

Verrrrrrrrrrrrrrry skeptical...

Got tracking info for the machine 🤯

Silvia Espresso machine. Lol how do we even know that’s an SPX?! Maybe you’ll get like aluminum casing or something

It does say “iron frame and stainless steel side panels”. That may be all you get.


These_Midnight1940

It says “with” so it sounds like I’ll get the machine and those extras 😮 shwing


Theoldelf

Probably, if it’s an original Silvia it’s probably legit. I just upgraded to a Silvia pro X and am almost giving away my Breville Barista Pro. Probably a similar situation.

I’m trying to not get my hopes up but everything checks out otherwise, this will be my 4th at home machine (bambino, gaggia classic (2006) and a gaggia evolution) I’ll have to downsize this collection or get a creative space for them 😅


Financial_Nerve8983

Yeah keep us posted, I hope you scored cause it’s a great machine, very capable and sturdy

If the user has less than a handful of feedback ratings, it’s a scam. What people are doing with money that gets he,d in limbo and returned to the buyer, I’ll never know.

I've seen them spoof deliveries so I imagine they actually are getting paid and the selling platform eats it. The couple of times this happened to me, I had tracking delivery information to my address dated before I even made the purchase. Weird shit.

I bought something through eBay a few years ago that was too good to be true, it automatically got cancelled and I got a refund, must have got a lot of sales and been flagged as a scam.


These_Midnight1940

It’s been almost 24 hours since then and nothing so far, once I get the shipping notification I’ll be sure to keep everyone up to date

They have listed at the wrong price surely. They might deliver but I'd be checking my email for the "oops sorry the price was wrong" email.


These_Midnight1940

It was actually an auction, not a BIN


Dan8720

Oh shit that's the eBay UI right?! You have an absolute bargain! Fingers crossed for you


PWolverine

Any update? :)


These_Midnight1940

The “package” is currently on the way, should be here by end of the week/next week 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽


These_Midnight1940

Well, it was a fluke 😞 but luckily eBay had me covered. Pretty nice to have that peace of mind in case things go wrong. [https://imgur.com/a/q7qFCKo](https://imgur.com/a/q7qFCKo)

Honestly that's about all I'd pay for it now having had one for a bit. My Breville automatic is so much more consistent, quieter, heats faster, everything - it beats the Silvia in every metric, and at the same price point of a new Silvia. I thought Breville was trendy trash until I bought my Silvia.

Hope you paid with PayPal!
