Hey Vacuumlanders, just wanted to put a question out there. What is the most you've ever spent to get a vintage vac? Daniel | ||

£80.05, and that was for my Kirby D80... (expensive I know, but it'd have cost more to buy and then ship one form the US, so, a bargain really!!) | ||

Not really vintage, but the most ever spent on a vac, Back in 1989, About 600 dollars for a new Beam Central Vac, plus installation of 3 inlets, hose and attachments.
Did pay about 600 for a new Kirby G4, back in 1994,when they were brand new. ( Was way before getting a PC, having the internet, or E-Bay) Told the dealer i would pay 600 IF the Kirby was sealed in the box, brand spanking new, directly from the factory, never opened, and that the G4 had the 80th Anniversary logo on the handle. He assured me over and over that it was. Had to leave town suddenly on business right after paying for it,, so, When i went to open the box a few days later,,of course the Carpet Shampoo System brush was full of lint,there was residue of water and shampoo in the tank, and you could tell the brush roll of the carpet nozzle itself had been slightly used. And of course a slightly used bag was still in side the outer bag. And, NOT anniversary model. I called to complain, but was more than 72 hrs after the sale,,and the paperwork had been signed,,so they just laughed at me. Learned a lesson that day,,NEVER again! | ||

"Learned a lesson that day,,NEVER again! " The lesson for everyone is to never buy a Kirby from Kirby themselves... | ||

It's not the vacuums.... The parts and things I buy for the vacuums I have seem to cost me more than the vacuum itself. I got my Electrolux LX for $5 then spent $40 for a nice looking original hose. My Kirby D80 was $40 then another $40 for a correct bag. | ||

Yeah..... I have paid WAY more for the factory LUX replacement hoses than the vacuums themselves. Something really ironic/wrong there.... Kevin | ||

Just commenting on that horrible Kirby story that sounds like it must of sucked but that's ridiculous that they would only offer a 48 hour return policy I know at AERUS there is a ten day money back but ya that sucks. Zach | ||

For me it was $250, and there were several I spent that on like my vault JCPenney Concept, my mint Citation, my mint Penncrest Convertible, and my NIB Electrolux Olympia | ||
