Can anyone help me with the value of a Decorvac? I found a model 66 at my grandfathers house and have searched the Internet but can't find anything ... Thanks |

We like pictures on this forum!! Very hard to price anything and judge any sort of interest without a picture.
What is your overall vacuum knowledge, or are you strictly contacting this forum only for this item? Every member can see that this is your first post to the site. There's no absolute value. It's all about condition and does it function? Is it clean? Does it smell? Any strange noises? New belt, New bag, how are the agitator brushes wearing? How many scuffs, scratches, cracks, etc in hood, on base plate, inside agitator housing and of course bag compartment. Any stickers, logos, attachments, covers, buttons missing, or broken? From there its all up to what ever someone is willing to buy it for. Price high, adjust from there. See if someone submits an offer. Search eBay, see if anything similar appears, compare the condition of the auctioned model, and see what their asking, if no reserve price. |

No need for apologies and you were quite right to ask the question, so dont be feeling bad about it. Seems like it is quite an unusual vacuum - there have been others, if not that brand, posted on here before.
As for what you want to do with it it depends on the circumstances. If you are living in a small home (really an apartment) it may have some functional use for you assuming you can lay your hands on wands and carpet/floor tools. And assuming you dont have a preference for upright over cannister. However if you have a home thats much larger it will probably be of limited use to you. Still, a cool vacuum - thank you for posting about it. Al |

The bags are hard to find, but if I remember correctly its a well made unusual machine. |

Nope, not mine ... the person selling it is from Florida, I'm in Pennsylvania. But I will definitely watch it because I don't know what to sell mine for .. |
