At the Goodwill I work for, my new supervisor just insisted on pricing a G3 for $100 because her mom "spent hundreds on her Kirby". I told her that I hadn't ever spent more than $40 even on my truly vintage machines, to no avail. We have had G5's sit here for weeks at $30. Oh well. She also thought an old Pfaff sewing machine was worth "thousands".

A year or so ago, I walked away from a Kirby Ultimate G with the two-speed switch and all its accessories for $50 at Goodwill. It was a marginal call but I already had two Gsixes in better condition, one of which I had rescued from beside a dumpster and the other I had bought at the same Goodwill a couple of years earlier, in like new condition for the same price--$50 with all its accessories. I just couldn't see that I would be getting very much that I didn't already have and I could see that I would have had to spend a bit more on it put it to rights. Having already gone down that road with my G5, into which I have sunk way more money than I have on any other vacuum I own, I decided it wasn't the deal for me. At $35 or $40, I would have taken it without a second thought but $50 just wasn't doing it for me.
