I love how sellers puff up their vacs on sale with attachments that have nothing to do with the machine being sold! This guy has included two concentrator nozzles for hair-dryers!!!
On the positive side, there is another eBay seller who really knows how to photograph his uprights...he gets down low to carpet level and faces the big motorhead of the upright as he snaps a shot of it in the "on and in-use" position! Just like a professional Eureka print ad from the 1980's. It's very, very effective. | ||

I think these eBay sellers are trying to take advantage of the interest in vintage cleaners that collectors have. Just because a vacuum is old, doesn't mean it's worth much. Especially a dust belching bottom of the line General Electric. The only vintage vacuum that's worth even close to $600 (in my opinion) would be a flawless and complete Whirlpool Imperial Mark 12 with Power Nozzle, or a Compact with ABC Power Nozzle and original electric hose. Perhaps a Lewyt Electronic, complete and in working condition. But a crappy old General Electric, of which millions were made, is not worth a fortune. The pricing on this brings to mind someone listing kirbys for almost a thousand dollars - just to show them off. No one in their right mind would pay a thousand dollars for a polished up old Kirby. At least I hope someone would be smarter than that. But like they say "a fool and his money are soon parted". Thankfully, with this forum, no collector would be foolish enough to fall for those outrageous prices.

The seller has invited offers. None of us know what amount he or she is willing to accept. The high 'Buy It Now' price may just be there to prevent it going too cheap. Good luck to the seller. If someone wants to pay a high price for it, that's their business. | ||

"worth" is only quantifiable by what the person who pays for something deems it to be worth. | ||
