the seller mentions a 10 year warranty. However, would the warranty even apply to anyone but the original purchaser? Does seem like an unethical sale.... |

Well, if the warranty hasn't been taken out, surely it would be honoured/transferred to the new buyer? Or do Aerus generally stipulate the warranty when the "first" owner just buys it?
In recent years a lot of people I've bought second hand vacs from (especially SEBO or Bosch) haven't even bothered taking out any warranty, so when I phone up the UK brands head office/cust services I often find that the warranty period is still valid and open when registering the vacuum cleaner in question. Doesn't always happen but happens a lot if the models are still selling in the shops. |

I find it odd that the bags are from the late 90"s, I would hope she had a previous lux upright that these came from and it's not from the person selling it to her. |

It seems very unlikely that this particular machine was actually sold to an old woman and it was never used. The seller takes way too much of his description from the Aerus website as well as Literature about the upright. To me, it screams of a dealer or distributor who needs some quick cash to help his business. He's still making double wholesale, selling it at $800. Let's say he has four in stock, and his electric bill is due. Easy to put it on eBay and describe it as he did. Look how many cars are sold as having been driven only on Sunday by a little old lady. Oldest sales trick in the book. My guess is there never was a little old lady who bought it and never used it. A quick call to Aerus with the serial number should confirm the date it was actually sold. I'll bet it was never registered as a sale to anyone. That's why it's still "new".
