Can anyone help me source a Gaggia Carezza

leebs

I live in Melbourne and this appears to be the machine for a newbie like myself. However I'm having a lot of trouble finding one of these machines. Any help greatly appreciated.

Ebay has them occasionally.

http://tinyurl.com/8552o (ebay item) may be worth a look.  It is a refurbished warrantied Carezza with around a day's bidding left.

Thanks to those who replied. I managed to find one at a local Megamart - and I am thrilled with the results. Anyone who is disappointed with machines like the Sunbeam or Breville and want coffee that is 250% better for not a whole lot of extra $$ will do well to try and source some of the last of these excellent machines. The people from Gaggia advise me they no longer import the Carezza, so its pretty much a matter of finding some of the last remaining machines. If you cant find them at Megamart, the Goodguys in Dandenong (Vic)has a display unit for sale. They were very helpful and offered it to me for $249 with full warranty. The Evolution & Cibika which are the models to replace the outgoing Carezza have had very average review on sites like CG, so do yourself a favour and look @ the Carezza. I'm still learning how to use the Machine, and struggling a bit with Crema, however I am using Lavazzo prepack (horror) so I should not expect too much. Sorry for rambling on.............

For anyone still interested, Myers here in Sydney are selling the Carezzas for $199. Probably getting rid of their existing stock as they normally retail $249
