I bought this eureka at a garage sale and am planning on selling it. It works. Does anybody know what this vacuum could be worth?

Eureka
Well, the rule of thumb is that an old vac is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. However, that machine does have a few things going for it. Firstly, its a chrome top which makes it more appealing to the eye, Im not sure if thats the original bag but if it is thats even more of a plus. Is the brushroll a wooden replacement or a funny shaped curved metal brushroll with black strips? If its a metal one thats a plus. Also runability, does it whine, does it kick, does it spark? Or does it run as smooth as a purring kitten? Now the negatives, the headlight lens is missing, which isnt uncommon. Overall is appears in great condition. On ebay, start the bid a fifty bucks and see what it does. On a private market, one seller to a butyer, I would offer twenty bucks, highest being forty. Hope this helps!

Good-vac
Couldn't agree more! I think if someone wants to buy it they will do so regardless. They pop up on etsy, eBay, yardsellr, craigslist, rubylane, the list is endless. Not to mention we've all watched "common" vacuums go for large sums of money on eBay. I think it has more to do with the sentimental value, than the rarity of the machine itself.

Well, at least you won't be hurting no matter what you get out of it. I haven't bought many Eureka vacuums, and the last one I bought similar to yours cost me $4 so I wouldn't be a great resource to give you an accurate valualation of your machine. Now with that said I haven't seen too many with the chrome hood go across eBay or anywhere else around here for that matter, so I would be willing to assume someone would want it either for their collection, or even to help re-live a childhood memory (for example it's like one Grandma had). I like your thoughts of possibly $9.99 as a starting price for it, then let the bidders fight it out online, you may just be surprised at how much interest there could be in it! Good luck with it, and if you do post it online, be sure to put a link here to it so we can get to it quickly!
