These machines still show up on Craigs list for ~ $100. That post was in April 2007 and the sucker still pumps out great espresso. Only maintenance so far was a simple cleaning (remove the screen and wipe) and re-tighten of hardware. The only 'special' handling it gets is I only run bottled water through it. Shows no sign of slowing down...
