Same, I want one, but immediately think, what the heck would I need this for?

We have a makers space here in town that has two higher end printers. Anyone can send prints to them, you basically pay for the plastic and a small additional fee.
Until you're going to be making a lot of things, it's probably not worth it with resources like that.

Also check local colleges / technical colleges. They may have them available. (I found out that we have one available here).

Do they allow anyone to use them? or do you have to be a student/facility?

AFAIK it's open to the public. Like @Dashrender , though there's a small fee & you pay for the mats.

Well, that makes £200 worthwhile then.
Use it for a while, then sell it to someone else.
