i own a large espresso machine rental business and will not carry san marcos. they are badly constructed for servicing, (heat exchangers are a nightmare)and use alot of plasic in bad places.stick with cimbali,rancilio or italian gaggias if possible.if you are stuck, i wouldnt pay more than $500 up to $800 aAS LONG AS IT HAS USED GOOD SERVICED WATER FILTERS otherwise offer about $12 and 50 cents for scrap value, remember, you business depends on it working.
