    The one I bought was the exact same model as Otto Frei's and I
    bought it from a UK tool supply company on ebay. As far as I'm
    aware, there's no warranty or parts replacement. Hopefully there
    would be if purchased through Otto Frei. The chap on ebay has put his
    prices up to over 300 UKP. I think I paid about 285 UKP for it
    back in the autumn, so $275 USD is obviously a very good price to
    pay for the same model. If the attachment in this post works, you
    can see it's exactly the same as Otto Frei's rolling mill. This
    photo came from the ebay advert. 

    What Hans says about buying cheap and buying twice is true but
    sometimes one's budget dictates that one must buy cheap to start
    with, in the hope of being able to afford an upgrade later on.
