I'm not trying to discourage anyone from using eBay -- I'm just offering a reality check in terms of reasonable expectations at the present time. . . |

There are few of us "young people" that do indeed love antique items. Some people have an interest in various things such as, cameras, radios, record players, clocks, etc. Its a bit of shame that not too many have an interest in old vacuums. Personally I believe the build quality to be far more better than a majority of the new plastic junk we have today. You also have to remember that not too many of us have deep pockets. Being 22 and working on our family farm I barely make ends meet. Not to mention a lot of people seem to list their items way to high for us to begin to touch it. Yes some items demand a premium but there are also a ton of people that think their basement flooded LX is worth $150+
Whenever I do begin to get on in age I'll plan on selling or give my machines to anyone that'll appreciate them. It's all about preserving history and passing it on for the next generation to enjoy/preserve. We're all merely the janitors to these items. |
