We got one of those when I was a kid. And how funny that I remember the box so correctly in such detail. I loved that vac, but not $1300 worth. |

It would be interesting if someone used one of those 'relative value' calculators to compare how much that one went for, with how much a consumer would have paid for it when new.... |

The ebay member e***d placed a maximum bid of greater than $400 early morning Nov 27. Two other competitors tried to out bid - one dropped out at $300 and the other at $400. It looks to me that e***d's (dont you just hate ebay's policy of hiding winners namers!) max bid was $430 - being out bid by n***e, who placed a high max bid $1299.69 (madness, they should have placed it just over $1300.00), which itself was "sniped" in the closing seconds of the auction.
Clearly the bidder really wanted it - so good luck to them and good luck to the buyer if the bid is honoured. It has often been said that an item is worth what someone is prepared to pay for it, even if "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". I certainly would never pay this much for one cleaner although I must confess that I have probably spent a lot more than this over the years. I dont keep an list of how much I spend (I suppose I should really) but it would take the total at least of my five most expensive cleaners to exceed this figure but that is my choice based partly on my income and partly how much I want it and partly how much I am prepared to pay - all my choice. But i too have been left open-mouthed at the amounts some people bid up to, not just cleaners but other things too. Happy bidding Al |

Now my two cents. I too agree that the price paid (if, in fact it ultimately is) is amazingly high. Tania found a stash of brand new in the box Compact C-9s with power nozzle which sold for $200. This is what we call in the business world an outlier. It was a perfect set of circumstances for the seller - lucky them. Unique in that there were two potential buyers that really wanted this machine and had the means to get it. If there was only one, go back and look at the bidding, it would have sold for much less. EBay has changed things and I stay away from it now due to temptation and the fact that I really don't need or want any more machines unless they are highly unusual or brand new like a time capsule. In any event, given a slightly different set of circumstances, this would not have happened.
