Personally that pricing seems pretty high. You might negotiate some since it Craigslist. I've seen these machines as low as $25 for sale in good working order.
That being said 1$20 is probably about a 1/10 of what they paid for it. I would definitely run it for a few minutes and see if any of the lights come on the vacuum control knob often goes bad over time . |

$120 sounds like what it would go for in a used vacuum shop AFTER it was thoroughly gone over and reconditioned.
One identical to what you describe just sold on eBay for $88, and another one in a different color went for $175. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Electrolux-Epic... https://www.ebay.com/itm/ELECTROLUX-EPIC... |

The two eBay vacs were in good condition. I don't get how one goes for $100 more.
It may have something to do with pics. It could also be the sellers reputation. Idk but I've noticed that trend on most vacuums. I'd go test the vacuum and talk to seller. If you let them know you are a collector and the price is steep. I'd say your vacuum is worth $50-$60. I'd love to buy this vacuum. I'd then say im thinking $50 and it's fair for both of us. There going to counter with either $60 or $75. Come up to $55 and say that's the most I can pay and it's all I brought. They will either tell you okay thanks for coming by. If you show up with money they have a buyer in front of them. If you followed that strategy you will get the vacuum. When selling you get so many non buyers or people who bug you. A buyer with money is what they need. Les |
