    I brought a second hand Kettler crosstrainer that retails for £500 for £70 and it was unused lots of people buy with good intentions and after a few months collecting dust they sell. Check your local ads or Ebay and see what is around the one I found had never been put together, I also found a reebok I rower the retails for £400 in the same condition for £60 two quality machines for less than one cheap one I would suggest well worth the effort of looking.

    Go with ebay, I got a buffalo for £35.00, pulse monitor is not working but I have an HRM anyway. Not a make that I was familiar with but is made in Germany and is not going to break on me judging by the way its built

    I bought a used one off of Craigslist years ago, and use it almost every day. Paid a fraction of the price. AND someone else did the hard part of putting the thing together. :-(

    I second everyone saying look on sale sites. Walmart sells crap, the other person might have gotten lucky, but most of their gym equipment is cheaply made and will break within a year. Find someone selling a good brand/well made machine, and go that route. Good ellipticals are VERY expensive, and kind of bulky so make sure you have the necessary room.
