Starting to see new rainbows around here for sale. Can't wait for the vac shops to get one in so I can see it in person.

20 year warranty? Who's honoring that? Not a Rexair dealer.

Probably no one, it's just there to make the sale. If anything goes wrong, just try and get it fixed.

Indeed, I was right. I emailed the seller, and they got back to me, basically it is an authorized Rexair dealer. They advsied me when I buy the machine, they will send me the invoice to sign, and I will mail back to them, they will then turn it into rexair, so with me signing the paper, it appears they came to my home, and sold me the unit. pretty slick. I am not going to buy one, since I have serveral Rainbows already, but that is what I figured they are doing.

This Rexair dealer is smart to be doing this....

I don't know about most of the members on here, but I wouldn't want a door-to-door salesman coming into my house to sell me ANYTHING! I have heard too many stories about high-pressure sales tactics, lying to get sales, crimes being committed after the sale, salesmen sleeping with the clients in order to get a sale, & other sleazy tactics to get a sale from a customer. And I have also heard that the background of some of these salesmen is "questionable" to say the least.

A couple cases in point: 1. In my area, there was a woman who literally had to call the police & have a Filter Queen DTD salesman arrested when he REFUSED to leave her home, & apparently assaulted her while in her home.

2. A friend of mine in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, had a DTD salesmen come to his home to sell Miracle Mate vacuum cleaners. When the salesman tried to get him to buy, he told the salesmen they already had an older model Miracle Mate. Of course, it still kept up, with the salesmen explaining the new model had better features, etc. Well, the salesmen winds up taking his vacuum to his car & tries to bring in a new model....when my friend says to bring his back in & to leave & they're not getting a sale, he brings in a broken powerhead with the vac that wasn't theirs, & leaves.

3. I personally had a Filter Queen salesmen come to my home a few years back, mainly because I wanted the free gift. At the time, I had just bought a new Fantom Cyclone XT 2 weeks prior to this. Within the first 1/2 hour of him being there, he starts to claim the Filter Queen is Dual Cyclonic, so of course I caught him in a lie. I went on to prove by using carpet freshener that he was lying, & kicked him out of the house, with vacuum in hand.

In the times we live in, especially when a vacuum can be had so easily by walking into a store or Ebay, these DTD distributors realize they have to compete to keep someone from buying a Rainbow elsewhere. I feel there will come a time close in the future, that many DTD brands will take the same route Aerus took, & open stores as well as have DTD salesmen. It's only a matter of time, if they want to stay in business & be competitive.

Sleep with their customers in order to get a sale?

I don't know why that surprises me honestly...


Anyway..........Here is my question........This guy is selling it for 1300 cash and will mail the paper work in as usual.......

So that makes me wonder........Won't Rexair see that it was only sold for 1300.00? I mean, I thought the whole point of Rainbow's being very expensive was the fact that four of five different people get a cut of the price.

I don't know about Rexair's commission breakdown but the 1300 might represent the cost minus the salesperson's cut.  When I sold Kirbys (and this tells you how old I am)  the price for the basic package was 339, and I got 100 out of the deal.
