the reason you havent sold anything in 3 months on ebay is BECAUSE you want it sold as lots. sell them as invidiual items and watch them disappear in postal service trucks to new homes. NO ONE wants, has time for, or the money to buy 100's of heavily used vintage machines and parts all at once. ive seen the photos on the used machines and they are in poor condition and most likely do not run. collectors here arent vacuum shops. vacuum shops WILL NOT buy 35+ year old inventory.. regular customers will NEVER buy it.
sell the items as invidiual units or youll NEVER sell it. been thru this with a guy 3 years ago down here in Amarillo. you wont sell all that at once. dont even try. | ||

Kirby Stuff Kirby Collector: Our goal is to sell it as a lot. My son and I both run businesses and find it hard to take time to work on this. If we can't sell as lots, we will eventually part the trailer inventory out... thanks! Bryan | ||

 ~ You could hire a student or retiree to separate, photograph and list the machines on eBay, and then carry them to a UPS Store. You could offer a fairly low salary + commission on every auction that ends successfully. (The latter would be a great incentive for the person you hire to work quickly and diligently.)
I agree what others have said, that you will never sell all this stuff as one lot, especially since the vast majority of it -- other than a very few things -- would be sold sight unseen. | ||

It would be difficult to fine someone who likes ALL
of those machines, makes, etc. I, for example, would/might be interested in some Hoover items, (cleaners, outer bags, etc). But, I'm just one person. I'd love to know the person who'd have unlimited funds to purchase ALL of it.... or who would WANT all of it. Charles has a great idea there to get someone who could go through it all, categorize, etc. for a fee. Let us know if anything fun is gonna happen .

We will sell them individually.... I appreciate all the input, and will have to agree that after more than a month, with no offers, selling our lot individually is the only way to go....we will begin to sell them on Ebay. Thanks for the motivation!!!! Bryan | ||

I agree Kirbykid63, its too rich for my blood but certainly great for the seller. I would have no incentive to lower the prices if they were selling for that much. No sarcasm intended when I say 'good for them'! It always seems to be that these vacuum treasure troves never pop up anywhere near where I live LOL.

I've been selling stuff for years I sell parts on ebay and i have a face book page,I have found there isn't much profit in selling used vacuums. My wife and I have found it's easier to part out machines the profit margins are better. | ||
