haha how about that ;) I somehow had the feeling there just HAD to be someone from this forum betting on that grinder!
I will for sure let you know how it works out. Right now my only fear is about the shipping. I'm actually in Canada so it has a long way to go, and I know how "careful" they sometimes are with these heavy packages...
That makes 3 of us, I was bidding on it last weekend before I found out it was 220V, that's a little difficult to set up for me. also lost a bet one for a Mazzer Mini
Ended up winning a Rossi RR45, still waiting for it, this one has to travel all the way to Japan!

I don't believe it is 220V, but if it is...
Not mentioning 220V is essentially false advertising. That seller is a pro. He will have to take it back. And IMO he ought to pay your return ship costs.

That plug looks like a 3 prong grounded 110V plug to me. But, nowhere in this ad does it say 110V. Where's the false advertising? All it says is it works, and it comes as pictured. Obviously it wouldn't be very nice, because we all assume that since it's being sold in North America it is designed to work on North American power, but I don't see any false advertising. The guy may take it back, because the ad says "If your unhappy with any item please email and we can work something out. I'm very flexible." Did you ask him if he used it? If he says it works then I assume he at least tested it, which implies it worked and is 110V.
