I discovered what looks to be an Indonesia-based equipment seller by the name of Buana Coffee that appears to offer some fairly good deals. However, those deals have me a little skeptical; 334USD for a Rancilio Silvia seems a little too good to be true.
Has anyone ever heard of this site, or ordered anything from them? If so, does anyone else think I should be suspicious of this?

If it is too good to be true, it probably is. I took a look at the site and saw that they're offering all of their machines at about 50 percent less than typical retail.
Something really stinks here.. I wouldn't chance it. The company address is in Indonesia, that brings up a huge red flag right there.
