Crazy price...
But remember, that's about what they sold for new back in 1993 when they were new... With inflation, that would be even more today. I made an offer on that one but they declined. I did however purchase the other model they had for sale (slightly different model) and it's on its way to me right now! I'm very excited to own a new in the box Fantom! I do not know who purchased the one mentioned before here but I really hope I find out because I would love to see what's inside that box. I don't understand why these particular models of Fantom get so much backlash. They aren't the best machines in the world but they are a very durable and reliable cleaner if used properly. They are super easy to repair and rebuild as well.

I do realize this is what they sold for new, and to a large extent that’s why I think it’s insane. I guess I think paying so much for a machine for my collection is nuts. If it’s a brand new, current model and that is the wholesale cost, I can see that, but for a machine that time and the now nonexistent availability of things like HEPA filters and brush rolls, it’s no longer a machine that can be practically used daily, and therefore the value is now very low. I guess I just find the idea of paying big money on vintage machines to be detestable, and the fact that eBay has raised the price of old vacuums is just enough to set me off! Yes I don’t like paying money for these things and no I don’t care for the vacuum to have a resale value. I don’t collect these things because they’re worth money!
