money.... hi all! whoa, kirbys are cheap over there. my friend spent £1,800 on his kirby sentria and he didn't even get the full package! a bit like UK filterqueens. a FQ could set you back £2,500 in the UK! thedysonman | ||

I just bought one....
Off of Ebay from a seller that claimed it to be NIB. I did a best offer for $800.00. I received it tonight and the vacuum itself looks brand new. We all know how to check the obvious areas to find dirt and I could not find any. I did find dirt on the belt lifter of the shampoer. I specifically asked the seller before I bought if it was brand new and he sent me an email assuring me it was. I did this all through Ebay. When I got the box there was a return address on it but no name. I looked the address up and it was from a lady in durham nc. I emailed the seller and asked why I would be receiving a NIB kirby from this woman and also told him the shampoer had been used. I then turned around and emailed Kirby World Headquarters and explained just what I did here. I also gave them the serial number of the vacuum which also was the same as what was on the box. I suggested this may have been sold by a Kirby Dist and then returned and then they had someone sell it for brand new on ebay. I have to tell you, I checked the fan, the brush roll for belt marks, I sprayed canned air in the exhaust port and no dirt...
However it did concern me that this came from an individual. I noticed the seller is also selling one again but it is not located in Durham NC. I bought it for $800.00 and $60.00 Shipping. The sellar has not responded yet. I did sanitize the shampooer and it now looks new. Now I do like it very much, but I want to make sure I did not buy something stolen and that is why I sent my Ebay responses to Kirby and asked them to check the serial number. I gave them my work and home number. We will see. PR-21 Update, I just heard from the sellar and he said that it was sent by an employee of his. He offered me a new shampooer or a $50.00 refund. I had already sanitized it so I explained that I just wanted to make sure the machine was new and that this did not belong to someone else. His feedback was 100 percent since 2007, but he has only sold 7 items in the last few months. I did not tell him I was checking with Kirby. PR-21 | ||

Update on New Kirby
I had an email from Kirby this morning. Here it is....
We appreciate receiving your e-mail. The Kirby Company exclusively markets its home cleaning systems to authorized, independent distributorships for sale to consumer end-users via in-home demonstrations. Units purchased elsewhere, such as on the Internet, do not come with the Manufacturer's Three-Year Limited Warranty, Lifetime Rebuild Program, and Fire Protection Plan. Kirby systems sold over the Internet may be used, repossessed, and/or stolen machines. According to the serial number, your Kirby is registered to: Kirby Center of Durham 3311 Guess Road Durham, NC 27705 (919) 471-2070 If you have any additional questions, feel free to email us again, or call 1-800-494-8586, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., EST. Thank you for writing. Customer Relations – Monica I called and talked to Monica and she suggested that I call Kirby Center of Durham to clear up any questions I may have. I did call and talked to the person on the phone and she let me talk to a gentleman, I am assuming the owner/manager. I explained that Kirby told me the Sentria 2 that I purchased off of Ebay was registered to them. He took my phone number for work since I had to leave and told me he would check into it and get back to me. I have a direct line and he never contacted me.....I checked the other listing the seller had for another Kirby NIB Sentria and it was cancelled saying it was no longer available. This tells me they were having one of the employees or someone else sell these on Ebay even though that is against Kirby rules. If that was not the case he would have instructed me to get my money back from Ebay protection and send them the vacuum in order for him to get it back. What do the rest of you think?

Harley.....
Thanks for the reply. I knew when I bought off of Ebay that I would not get the warranty, but I did think that this was probably from a distributor that went out of business and sold some to a pawn shop or some such. The address is what got me to wondering and my writing to Kirby. I was to say the least shocked that it was listed in Kirbys records as his stock.
I'm like you about him selling bojack. I am not worried about the warranty and know that I can always send it in for a rebuild. At this point, with him not contacting me back, I will just keep this machine as I would not trust him to not do something to another machine he would send me. I will let Kirby know that I did contact him and he did not follow up with me, so therefore I feel that I did all that was necessary. The ball was in his court and unless they tell me different, I am keeping the machine. How would he bite me when I gave him every chance to get this corrected? They could refund my money and I could send it back to him or if it was really stolen, I could use Ebay buyer protection and send them the machine to return to him. Sincerely, PR-21 Ralph Mattingly (Bud) | ||

Has there been a proper YouTube vid on this vacuum that I can't find? I've searched but it only brought up a stationary display pic of it. | ||

I haven't found any....
I have been looking also, but only found the one you did. The DVD that comes with the unit has been cut way back and procedures have also changed such as how to adjust the power nozzle. I believe the total time for the DVD is like 28 minutes. While I understand that most people probably won't watch it anyway, to me thay did not go into enough detail if this was someone's first Kirby.
