Yes I saw several

Yes I am watching two,I have a friend who also sells vacuums that has one that he says he can't get much for. I will most likely trade some machines for his patriot at some point.

I want the two Electrolux Professional cleaners that were brought here from the states, the C12 (2112) and C16 (2116) (12" and 16" nozzles), basically Sanitaires with white hoods, some have shake-out bags, some have F&G/E74 bags... :)

Oh, and a Sanitaire S670/677, cos you can't get those here... :(

I would love to find an Electrolux Epic 6500 or 9000. Or Guardian at a great price! That's the next machine to find.

@klectrolux
Skip the Guardian/9000 and Epic 6500 and look for a nice Epic 8000 or Renaissance. The Renaissance machines have a more substantial, true Electrolux feel to them. The 6500 and other egg shell bodied machines have a more cheap and flimsy feel to them. The Epic 6000/6500 is still a great vacuum that is very lite weight, but if you are used to any metal body Lux canister, the Renaissance/Epic 8000 is as close to the metal body build quality as you can get with a plastic body machine. As nice as the Guardian may be with its HEPA filtration, I find that the HEPA filter chokes off way to much of the machines suction, my Diamond Jubilee thats 25 years old has more suction than the Guardian. The power of the motor in the Guardian was not properly increased to offset the restriction in air flow from the HEPA filter, which gives the previous Renaissance style machines a greater advantage.

Here in the states, we have a chain called Big Lots. They often have the Hoover Platinum uprights for $99. Do you have anything like that in Canada?

vacs for a low price

No matter what it is, I have only 2x paid more than $100 for a vacuum, and one of those times that was including shipping. I unhappily paid $40/piece for some vacs from a guy that did the ol' garbage pick, clean up and resell deal. But 9/10 times I won't pay more than $20 for a vacuum I pick up myself (craigslist-local adds) because chances are the seller lies about the condition of the machine because the average person doesn't know the belt is bad or the brushroll bearings are filthy, etc...And since I would only be interested in vacs 15+ years old, there's a good chance it's not worth more than $20 in any condition. Now 1 machine that no matter the price I would be buying is a Hoover Legacy 730. That is officially the last vacuum on my list of must haves(I've gotten everything else). 2 machines I'd like to find for a steal would be a Dirt Devil Can vac and a power pak.
