Anyone know the best way to get hold of one of these lil beauties? Is eBay the best bet?

From Paper Source (which used to sell them):
Search ResultsGocco machines have been discontinued by the manufacturer.
We will continue to sell Gocco accessories such as inks, bulbs, and screens in our stores or by phone: 1-888-PAPER-11.So uh yeah, sounds like. I'll sell you mine for $500.

Hey Neuarmy...mine cost a fair bit to be honest as I wanted a new one, with English instructions! Mind you, having read them its just as easy to get Japanese ones I reckon.
I also got stung on customs, but since you're in the US you'll be fine. Not sure if he has more, but his eBay user id is 'bigbuyz' and he was great to deal with.

what the hell are they?
- GreedoLives0
little tiny silk screen printers,
just big enough for a postcard.
- mrdobolina0
do you have to coat the little screens or are they already coated?

thanks--
good for runs of what size?
easy to use/clean up?
- GreedoLives0
they're pre-coated with photo emulsion, and it has a flash bulb kit that lets you burn any carbon-based copy right onto the screen...but it wastes 2 flash bulbs each time and the bulbs are kinda expensive.

very easy to use, no cleanup really cause you just toss the screens. it can get a bit messy applying the inks, but just have a rag ready to wipe off your hands.
runs go as high as you have the patience for, you can stretch it out over days, just put the screen in a plastic bag overnight so it doesn't dry out. but realistically, you'll probably lose your mind around 100 or so.
