A typo perhaps!

I think I paid $3.00 for mine

And that was too much! It won't even pick up dust!

That's what I think Morgan, next time I get my hands on it I'll give it a good going over.

According to both the instructions and the wiring schematics, this is from 1983-84 (the schematics read 6/13/83 and a revision date of 10/28/83; while the instruction book was printed 6/84).

Still, if he wants $500 for it, I'd suspect this example to be the most complete.

The guy clearly is an idiot.

Or, rather, a greedy idiot.

I sent the seller, questioning the price. It will be interesting to see if he/she responds.

I agree with Charles...

He appears to be either an idiot, totally misinformed, or the most extreme eternal optomist. I choose door number one.

More likely, ....

(And/or hopefully,) Morgan has nailed it; perhaps it was a typo. If not, I refer back to door number one.

Yeah, I like Royals and I think they're worth their price but... that is a pretty new prince and they aren't exactly rare...

I have a Prince, in burgundy. Its great for cleaning up the white mess left behind by my pussy, but I find I have to empty out the bag after each use to maintain its performance. Perhaps the '9' key on his keyboard sticks.

I sent the seller a message yesterday questioning the price. I told him I didn't think it was worth much more than $10. I received a reply today and he asked if I would buy it for $11. Maybe he was being sarcastic, but isn't that kind of backdoor offer against Ebay policies?

Oops!

I misread the seller's message. Clear sarcasm. He wants to know if I'll sell MINE for $11.

SO, the guy IS a greedy idiot, and is a prick to boot!!

Royal Prince

I also Think these little handvacs are great little machines. I have three of them and they are good for quick pickups and Dachsund dog hair all over the velvet furniture..

I have one as well [and have had several others over the years, including one branded "Regal"], and agree it's one of the best hand vacs ever.

in case this veritable Gentleman hasn't noticed yet

those enlightening devices can be had for a modest fraction of his price:

I haven't posted in quite a while, but I just had to comment on this one. It's in great condition but its one of the most common versions. If you take their asking price and divide by 7 you'd be in the ballpark of a good finishing price when the royal hand vacs are in a popular cycle. At the moment they don't seem to sell too well to begin with.

I think I probably paid less for all eight plus Royal hand vacs in my collection than this one.
