So jealous!!!! That's unheard of! What kind of person spends 2000+ $$$ (however much they're up to now) on a brand new Kirby then trashes it?!?! | ||

Well, obviously, it's got to be someone who's got a lot more money than they do sense! If I wanted to get rid of a brand new Kirby Sentria II, it would be going up on Ebay to the highest bidder.
Michael - Congratulations on your find! And right now, I am VERY jealous of you!! You must have stars shooting out your butt to find something like this for free at the side of the road. Hey, mind if we meet up & I rub your head for luck, please?? Rob PS- Just kidding! :-) | ||

I'll bet you dollars to donuts, there's a finance company looking for that machine. It's not uncommon for folks to pawn off their Kirby, and stop making payments on it. Most Kirby vacuums are financed, the percentage of people who actually pay for it in full are probably less than 5%. I'd bet if you run the serial number, it will come up as stolen. I noticed that the serial number plate (paper) between the rear wheels is missing. Wonder if the serial number by the sani-emptor connection has been ground off or obliterated?

Agree with Tom I am leaning toward stolen. Why would the SN be missing. My guess is they tried to pawn it and without the SN the pawn shop said no.
I would check into it. I had a friend who was given a Gateway Computer many years ago. She had problems with it and called Gateway tech support for assistance. Three days later a police detective showed up at her house, confiscated the computer and charged her with receipt of stolen goods.
While the charge did not stick as she told them how she got it and the name of the person - she still had to hire a lawyer and go through court. While I do not want to rain on your parade the old saying....

Stolen maybe? Or maybe about to be re-poed? Well that certainly dampens the joy of the find. Darn. | ||

Where are the serial #s hidden on a Kirby? Do Compact/TriStar have hidden serial #s? | ||

Maybe they moved and just left it, too much hassle to pack for the move, and new owners didn't want it. Sometimes if you've got the income to blow this might not be that big a purchase. I know people that seem like they've got nothing based on how they live and a Kirby is half a pay check. | ||

Have to say.... your butt should be in school - looking towards the future and what you plan to do for the next 60+ years to support yourself. I personally am not amused by the 24/7 comment....where is your parents??? I would no more allow my 16 year old to be out of the house past 10pm then the man on the moon.
Please for the love of God get your priorities straight...education / future.... That is it!
For the record I don't buy any of your crap - just sayin'!! | ||

I really wish that we could all step back and look at the bigger picture before we start judging those with spelling and grammar issues. It is my personal belief that we have a high rate of Autism and other disorders among vacuum collectors which would explain some of the outlandish behavior from a few individuals on this site. The above poster and others like him may have a learning disability. The majority of us here probably have been bullied at least once in his lifetime. We should all know what bullying feels like and that it can really damage a person especially at a young age.

I agree with Kloveland. I also sometimes have a problem with grammar. We are not here to judge. | ||

I’m very sensitive to bullying. I was bullied at a young age on more than one occasion because of my vacuum obsession. I was also bullied in high school over a different matter. I’ve never understood the whole grammar and spelling issue. If you don’t like someone’s post then don’t read it! I don’t understand why people just can’t look the other way.
Great find Michael! I would love to have a Sentria II. | ||
