I think the most I've spent while restoring a vintage vacuum was about $200. |

I just looked on you know where in completed listings. Someone, this week, paid $1299.99 for a vintage vacuum cleaner. That is INSANE! |

I wish we had a for sale/trade area on the forum. Feel like I'd be cluttering up the place posting wanted ads everywhere. I do have HII parts that I could trade. |

Hello, Out of my collection the most expensive model was my G3 Kirby which cost me £155 + £30 shipping of eBay, thankfully it was in good condition all that needed was the bearings on the handle/pivot assembly freeing up.
the cheapest Kirby I got was for £25 + £10 shipping this was a Legend 2 listed as spares and repairs all it needed was a new fuse and a good polish/clean up. The rest of my collection was between £50 and £80 to buy with two of the Heritage 2's needing new power cable's which were another £20 |

Mine is a Rainbow D3. It cost $65 at a local thrift store. Then I got an SE hose for around $25, D4 tool caddy and attachments for $35. Now I need to replace the power nozzle, don't know what that's gonna cost... maybe another $100 or more. So far it's $125. I'd like an SE or E2 power nozzle, but we will see.
