So I got a really good deal on a Kirby d50 that included the vacuum with bag in good condition, practicaly nos floor polisher, all the original attachments in there box, the suds gun, the owners manual and the owner kept all the parts in the original box that the salesmen would have taken to the door. So needles to say it was a very cool and unusual thing to find. I'm planing on getting the handibutler and shampooer. how much could i get?

It's worth whatever somebody will pay for it. Check similar sold items on eBay to bet a better idea. Just bear in mind that vacuum cleaners are niche collectibles at best and to the vast majority of the population, they're just old junk.

One in a million

if you have a one in a million vacuum, it means that you have one of a MILLION vacuums.

To emphasize what human said, a vacuum is only worth what another person is willing to pay. Unfortunately a Kirby D50 even with all its accessories isn't particularly rare, most people never used the shampooer. Only if you have an ALL-ORIGINAL (original bag, cord and rubber trim) pre-war Kirby can you hope to fetch a high-dollar amount. D50's are still a dime a dozen.

Thanks all!

I kinda figured that a d50 wouldn't fetch as much as I initially thought, on the upside I did just get a d80 to add to the collection so maybe I'll just hold on the the 50 for my collection also.
