Used, refurbished & auction machines โ so you don't overpay on something unproven.
๐ก๏ธ Lowest-risk pick for "will it actually work?": buy a tested refurbished machine, not a mystery used one. People Power Press โ Used & Refurbished ๐จ๐ฆ buys/sells/repairs button makers, each tested working before sale, and they're in Canada (no border surprises). Worth a little more than eBay for the peace of mind.

Notes
Pre-owned 2" Square Fridge Magnet Maker (2-in-1)
~$79.99 + free ship
eBay. Square โ what you want. Confirm condition & returns.
Set a max price = used street value (cheap kit $40โ80, pro Tecre/MPRO $150โ250). Don't bid past it.
Check it includes the die/parts you need โ a machine with no matching parts isn't a deal.
Factor shipping + duty to Canada โ a US "deal" can lose its edge. Local/Canadian wins ties.
Ask for a photo of a finished magnet it made โ proof it works beats any description.
๐ก If you only buy one thing risk-free: a tested-refurb from People Power Press, or a used kit from a seller who accepts returns. Either lets you send it back if it doesn't work.
