Avoid, avoid, avoid. I had an Oreck once and once was truly enough! If you must buy it, buy yourself a set of ear plugs, drive belt replacements and a long pair of bendy flexible knitting needles - required when the thing blocks up the spine at the back. Also why can't Oreck uprights wheel back when putting it away? They always fit flush wheels on the underside which really limits the ability to tip the vacuum on its heel and push it back to the storing cupboard.

Why should it be odd though? From what my U.S friends tell me, "Goodwill" is about the same as our charity shops and those who work in them known next to nothing about the electrical appliances they get in. I'm also pretty sure England don't have many charity shops that have electrical appliances either(but don't quote me), but Scotland certainly does - they realise there's good money to be made if an old vacuum cleaner with life in it is donated and the shops pay a small cut for machines to be PAT tested. However they don't price it going by second hand prices on online sites, but rather just an average price which is cheaper than anything else.
