he has it listed with a reserve, that means he has set an amount he wants for the vac and will not sell it unless bids reach that price, or if hes lucky exceed it |

It has really become a problem with eBay. People who know nothing about vacuums think that just because it is old (more than a few years) it is worth a fortune. A couple of weeks ago there was someone who listed four Kirbys, a 500 series, a Heritage and two Heritage IIs and was asking $400 each. I emailed him/her and told them that none of the vacuums he/she had listed was worth that much. I did not get a reply. I seem to recall that he/she listed them three times, never sold them and have not been listed since. People should do a little research before selling things on auction sites. Check out what things sell for, what is too high a price.
What are you gonna do? Justin |

I had put on eBay last year a complete medium gray 3.9 Kenmore canister from 1988 with the original molded hose (in perfect crack free shape) and he won it for $76 and had the nerve to ask for his shipping refunded because "it smells like smoke." Reluctantly I did cause I didn't want negative feedback, and then he wins a 1978 mid line Kenmore canister from a friend of mine and tries to pull the "refund my shipping" stunt by claiming "the cord is hot when the machine runs." Luckily I had forewarned him about this mike character and he did not budge, and I went ahead and blocked him from my listings.
Well, this mike relists my Kenmore several months later with a replacement hose and not the original Powermate and wants $99 starting bid with a reserve. I have no idea what he is smoking down there in Arnold, oh wait I do but that is a whole other topic. |
