Thrifted Citiz C121 worth keeping?

Hey all-- I've been trying to manifest a nespresso machine at my local goodwill and today it happened! I snagged a citiz nespresso machine with an attached aerocinno frother for about 12 dollars, but it is missing some parts.

I plugged it in and it seems to be working, but it is missing the the drip tray and the little tray that holds the cup and can be moved up and down ( have no idea what that is called) Also the whisk for the frother is missing. I tried to look up some parts online, but I am having some difficulty, especially the tray and cup holder thingy. It is model number C121. I will share a pic.

Any advice on sourcing parts and/or general thoughts on whether to keep or return to the store would be greatly appreciated!! It looks like a solid machine. I have a two day window that I can return to goodwill. Thanks!!
