It makes me chuckle every time I see an eBay listing that states "Vintage Vacuum -- It RUNS!" And I do see this frequently.

I guess people who only know about the average crappy plastic vacuum of today, that will barely last a year, are amazed that a machine 50 years old (or older) still "RUNS!"

eBay cracks me up in general. I often see everyday items touted as rare or even vintage when they are not. So much misinformation in many descriptions too.

Another Thought...

Oh and don't get me started on pricing...I get a kick out of seeing outrageous starting bids and buy it nows on some items. You would think they had the Hope Diamond.

Red's Rule of eBay...

A given item has 75% odds to sell for any of the following, with equal probability:
1/10th what it is worth
1/2 what it is worth
2x what it is worth
10x what it is worth
It has 25% odds to sell for a value reasonably close to its actual value.
