eBay asking prices range from dirt cheap to totally insane, but if you check previous sales, you'll see what they actually sold for, which in the aggregate, is a pretty good indicator of their worth. As the previous poster noted, many factors can greatly affect the value. One he did not mention is what accessories, if any, are bundled with it and whether said accessories are in their original boxes.
That said, a 1HD in excellent condition with a brand new new fan and no attachments was up on eBay last month for $42 plus shipping. I think the turn key price was a shade under $70. I watched it for a couple of weeks out of idle curiosity since I have one in similar condition, albeit with its original fan. I stopped following it before it sold. I got my 1HD from my dad. He picked it up at Goodwill and knowing him, I doubt he paid much more than $20 or so for it. I now have three Kirbys. In addition to the 1HD, I have a G5 and a G6. They're all fine machines that will last a lifetime with a modicum of TLC. |

Lars,
The Heritage 1HD originally used Style 2 disposable bags. You can change to the adapter that allows you to use the Style 3 and Micron Magic disposable bags, however. But. . . I should point out that all Kirbys from the Tradition up to the Legend II could be optioned with a shake-out bag. Rarer yet is another option: the 13" nozzle as used on the Heritage, Heritage II (Legend) and Legend II. I have one for the Heritage II. ~Ben |
