I recently picked up this Kirby Sentria on Craigslist for $25 and couldn't pass it up. The guy that sold it to me said that it was used heavily for about two months and has been sitting since. Surprisingly it just needs a really good cleaning, it barely even needs polished. Unfortunately none of the attachments were included, but he said they are somewhere in his house and when he finds them he will give me a call.

This is my third Sentria but for the price I could not leave it. I'll end up selling it on Craigslist within the next few weeks, once it has been gone through.

I haven't posted in months so I'll probably end up sharing some of the other things that I have recently found.

Also, this picture is from my phone so I'm not too sure how it is going to turn out once I upload it.

Rather odd for someone to sell such an expensive vacuum for only $25. Makes you wonder if he was actually the person who bought it.

No Way He Bought It

"Makes you wonder if he was actually the person who bought it."

I bet the average man on the street would have no idea what those cost new. Most people couldn't guess within $1,000.00 what they sell for! They figure a used vacuum, is a used vacuum, is a used vacuum. No difference from one to another.

Funny thing is, how much it will actually sell for considering it's relatively new. Just a fraction of that initial price, but a tidy profit for you, just the same.

Did you test it out? Hopefully the motor and Tech Drive do not have any problems.

And here it is after a complete tear down and cleaning. I was surprised to find that the tech drive still works flawlessly and the brush roll still has years of life left. Out of all 3 Sentirias, this one might be my best.
