Hey
I searched through the archive and read a compact c5 is rare and holy Grail of vacuums. There is either c5 or c6 for sale locally. Is it worth $100. If I got it would anyone be interested in it? Les |

I messaged the seller last night and they answered this morning. They said it's rare and it's now $350. I told her maybe with some power nozzle she scoffed. I literally screen shot this thread sent it to her. She asked my did I want vacuum so bad. She no longer communicated with me.
I hate when someone has something somewhat rare and they think it's rare and Jack the price up. A classified where I live a gentleman has a classic 3 in good shape. He is the original owner and has receipts. He has it listed at $200 for 2 years and hasn't lowered the price yet. Meh well thanks for the info. Les |

dont ever tell a craigslist seller what they have is rare. ever. you have to play like you're dumb Joe Q. Public looking of a cheap vacuum. sometimes you get nice craigslist people, i have several times. people that think they have valuable vintage vacuums are playing on collectors being suckers and using ebay as a price guide which is stupid.
most times vacuums ive found that are TRULY rare, ive gotten cheaper than more common ones. keep that in mind when hunting. keep on trucking, people like that are a waste of your time. |

I didn't tell the person it was rare. She said it was rare I was like wtf she must have seen the one on eBay. I don't tell them there rare I just tell them I collect vacuums. The rare one I'm looking at on Craigslist is the janitronic super sweep.
I got my 505 off Craigslist and he knew what he had asked $150 and I got him to 140 with shipping it was $200 but I don't let anyone know it's rare. I asked initially about it as I wanted outside pig and you can usually talk them down. She said $100 firm I said thanks but no thanks. A week later I ask and it's now rare wtf. Please ask I tell them I'm a hoarder and like vacuums. They think I'm strange but that's fine. Les |

It's only at most 5 amp. The newer c8 c9 are close to 10. I believe it 10 amp with power nozzle. I bought the Kirby super sweep for $100. I paid $125 for my c9 with new hose all attachments and power nozzle shipping included. I paid $60 for c8 for shop vacuum. I spent $200 for original 505 in almost mint condition and $200 for 880 with hose and all attamements and it's nicest 880 on Earth. I can see spending a couple hundred on a newer simplicity/riccar an aerus/Electrolux or a sebo or a rainbow. Basically the best vacuums you can buy. They can ask what they want but I would pay $20 but being it's a little drive I wouldn't even go pick it up if it was free. I buy vacuums to sale or enjoy. People become emotionally attached to items. I see it alot.
