Ronni, you clearly do not know how EXPENSIVE genuine outer hoover bags go for. the common ones SELL for $50-80 on ebay average price, even when starting cheap. genuine convertible bags for specific models are VERY hard to find by themselves unless you raid a vacuum shop or estate auction of a vacuum shop. ive hauled this stuff away myself from places like that. a genuine intact 65 bag will go for over $150 by itself. same with similar era kirby bags. ive been tracking these price trends for four years.
youd have better luck finding an intact machine for much less at an estate sale, but genuine outer bags for convertibles are one of the most expensive retail items that sell on ebay or even in trade. dont be so quick to snap at someone when you havent tracked price trends of what things things have SOLD for, not what ebay seller ASK for them. i sold a genuine 65 bag to a good collector friend from my amarillo haul for $25. i personally wouldnt charge those prices for my finds to sell, but lets be VERY clear here, ebay prices and what you find thru other venues are VERY different things. most collectors dont want to go thru the effort of digging thru estate auctions or vacuum shop piles to find these things. they go to ebay. i rarely buy stuff like that from ebay, maybe entire intact machines on rare occasion, but rare parts i wait to pilfer thru vac shop back rooms. |

thank you everyone for your insight on the bag I might have found one for around $25 I hope but I know they are higher by some dealers than others. I would sell the machine before I put over $50 dallors in it.it isnt worth it to me right now if it was mint condition i might. |

they are cheap and work just as well. Sheet, just buy a Dirt Devil/ Bissell /Eureka off Craigslist for even less.
But if you want to enhance the value of your vintage machine for some reason, an act some might call "greedy" i guess because it doesn't comport with intrinsic value...well to add that greater market value you are likely going to pay a greater market price on the bag. Because the seller is trying to enhance something too. Issues of scarcity and competitive bidders come into play. My first memory of a vac is a Hoover 65 and i would like one just like it..even that one had the bag replaced back in the late 70's as i recall , This price/worth discussion happens a lot here on vacuumland. As far i can tell, having used vacuums beyond what you need (perhaps outside of commercial vacs), is not an intrinsic value proposition from the get go as there is no liquid market to sell them into for a profit past the cost of storage and shipping. There is luck, and the ephemeral collector market which seems to work pretty well for some. Shoot, if a farmer can't get his crop to market it's plowed under. Intrinsic value seems a slippery cat i need to study up on. |
