Buying a machine for <$150 & putting a PID & OPV on it, then selling
it for $350 - $500

Here's the real story:

USED 'pid' controller  -- $50
USED SSRs  TWO of 'em $10
TWO ugley boxes one for the side and one for the back of the machine,
which I never show!
(I cannot figger out how to put all that shit inside the gaggia)
thermocouple $10
new Valve -- $25
other stuff $15.
parts total is about $110.00

an OLD gaggia -- needing work  about $150 -- let's say, WITH shipping
to me.
MY labor?  ZERO as I do this for the love of it.  {:-)

Total = $260.00
----------------------------
my recent sales on craigslist have been $350 and $269.
Soooo as you can see, my "mad" money, may be dipping into my social
security!  LOL LOL

buys a lot of green beans and gives me some
flexibility when opportunities arise. (heh heh?)
The good thing is it's mad
money, so I don't have to clear purchases with Mrs T:  (That's Mrs.
TEX, to you, bub!)

makes it fun ( I like fun)when FedEx shows up with a big box that she
knows nothing about - ever get THAT look from a wife? LOL!  (a wife?
hehheh)
