For being nearly ninety years old, that is in exceptional condition. Almost as if someone put it in a closet in 1930-something and forgot they had it! |

It's well over $400 now. It should easily bring $1000. Miss P. with her unlimited pockets might grab it, who knows? Or, perhaps the Pennsylvania Kirby Lady - her husband is good for a grand any time she wants. I have other things to spend that kind of money on. Like a vacation in New Orleans for decadence.
Stan Kann had one, I used it a few times and can definitely say it was very underpowered. So was the Electrolux model 11 which was the Hoover's competition. It ultimately had LESS suction than a Hoover 700 because the bag was so small. When you took the bag off, it had a lot more power, but even that was limited by its 1.7 amp motor. |

I have to say it's disappointing & sad; & yet not surprising, the way certain ones complain about the high prices paid for items (in this case, vintage vacuums) by others. ~lol~
Sounds & L@@Ks like jealousy to me. (imho) ~lol~ Especially when the complaining person is one of the very ones pushing up the price on the item(s)!!! ~lol~ I've seen this on numerous items on eBay. In this case (this complainer) you're currently the second place bidder, driving up the price, at $400.00 (n***c). You were even the 1st to bid & start driving up the price; & you've now bid three (3) times on it so far. ~lol~ You also regularly complain about the (ONLY) Vacuum Cleaner Collectors Club (VCCC), & how it's not the same & that you're not in it. What you fail to ever mention, it that YOU WERE KICKED OUT OF THE VCCC!!! And for what it's worth, I haven't seen any cliques (that you refer to) for years in the REAL VCCC!!! I hope Kyle does well on the sale of this very unique item, though not my cup of tea, so-to-speak!!! ~lol~ Cheers & hagd/n all, Bill

Here, in a public forum may not be the best place to divulge certain facts... about events that took place..... several years ago.
Numerous EBAY items are driven up, sometimes by the seller. Sometimes, others do drive the price up, insult other bidders,accuse people, who possibly have never ever met, of getting together to hurt another, etc. A shame, really. But, to quote Mr. Johnny Matthis, "It's not for me to say". |

Your loyalty is beyond admirable.
I, too, know, and am fond of Billy, Mike Pletcher), Alex, (never met Charlie in person, but, we get along fine). And, John Lucia is one of the finest human beings to walk the planet. I do not know the others, some are actually deceased now. It is Mike Pletcher who introduced me to The VCCC. AND, if it weren't for John and Alex, none of anything would have existed. So, for that, I'm grateful. Sadly, there are other circumstances that would/could incriminate others. |

Trying to increase a price isn't a terribly nice thing to do, especially if it's done to ruin a purchase.
Bashing a club, group, organization AND its members in a small-minded thing to do. Intentionally hurting people is a dirty business. There's a big elephant in the room. I'm not about to name names, but, there IS solid proof of activities years ago involving bad behavior involving a minor at a convention. There's evidence of harassing an underage member on a youtube channel, that could have resulted in a major lawsuit.I cannot/will not be a part of that. (Remember: The VCCC and Vacuumland were ONE until a few years ago. Parents had an individual investigated, resulting in uncovering unfortunate facts. ALL of this is in documented 'history'. These reasons that resulted in a person being banned for life (that's a very long time), from a club. I'm not going further, but, there ARE reasons. EVERY action causes a reaction: both positive AND negative. It is not MY place to go any deeper with this. We all have tremendous friendships. Some began, for me, with my joining The VCCC I have met fantastic people, learned a lot, have seen a lot of the country, am now VERY welcome in North Canton, The Home of Hoover Appliances. I look forward to meeting more wonderful folks through The VCCC. It looks like I'll be hosting a convention in a few years... all members will be welcomed into my home. I also hope this Hoover Duster goes to a good owner, and that the seller enjoys his profit. But, I have no intentions of getting myself into a mess (especially in here) with my mouth. Sorry for the dissertation, but I stepped in as much as I'm going to. |

The only reason for it (if there were one), was because others brought it up... it went into things that could have gotten very nasty. Thankfully, it wasn't that bad. The bidding history and comments were really the fuel that accelerated things. Most people don't really want to 'go down that road'. I surely don't. The only reason I spoke at all was to hopefully dispel, shed light, put out the fire once and for all.I'm not in the business of starting fires. Nor am I used to getting burned by them ,started by others. Hopefully, that'll end, finally., But, I doubt it.
So, yes. the Hoover Duster IS the topic at hand. The sale of such a machine in such good condition after ALL these years is the main topic. It should only have been that. But, we saw that it didn't. It's not nice when things derail. |

Not everyone will have heard about investigations, allegations, etc. But, it did happen.There is documented proof, and people still alive who saw it all.
I was not there, either. However............... and, I'm NOT spreading gossip or hearsay. There are many who were there. Some are not even members anymore. Trust me: (or not), I'd never say anything about such delicate things if I didn't know they really happened..and talked with some people who WERE there. So, onto vacuums............................... |

I buy and sell a lot on eBay too, and I can say that the shipping cost killed it. I live just 1 state over, and its $65 for shipping alone on my end, that's insane. I wouldn't think this is that heavy. I've bought entire Kirbys for less, and those are nearly what, 45/50 lbs?
It is a cute little vacuum though, reminds me of a primitive Dyson stick vac, lol |
