Well, considering one in similar condition, albeit the rarer tan model, just went for $313, is the seller really that far off the mark? CLICK HERE TO GO TO electrolux~137's LINK on eBay |

Well, mercuryman, for as long as this club has existed, that has been the eternal, unending argument about collecting .... that the price that people will pay is...whatever they will pay.
If something is beyond someone's budget, than there is no more discussion. They won't pay it. Over the last 25 years, I have seen things go for OUTRAGEOUS amounts of money. Many of us frequently complain about how eBay, the internet and thrift and collectible stores have driven up the prices of collectible vacuums. But....that is the way the world is. I'm with you....walk away from the outrageous bid-fests. They only add fuel to this silly fire! |

So in todays costs a model G would be about 2400 bucks if one used Gasoline as an inflation metric, and that used 275 buck ebay vac a tiny fraction. |

The fan bearing on a model G here is just a regular 8/22/8 roller skate bearing. If you want to go nuts you can use a ceramic bearing too |
