Amazing little time capsule but not at that price.

Wowsy........

I guess anything is possible. That's a diehard collector to pay that sum....and that's putting it politely.

Unfortunately, if it sells for anywhere near that it will influence pricing on the rest of the eBay rubble like it.

Wow!

Someone’s going to buy it Clearly for a pretty penny as there’s currently 16 bids at a price of $810 with close to $30 in additional shipping. Hopefully it’s not someone that will just put it to regular use as that will cause it to drop in value but anyone can do whatever they want with their purchase!

It will be interesting to see how much it finally goes for.

Jon

I don't think I can remember a common Convertible so expensive. Models from "The Vault" got pretty high, but I'm pretty sure most, if not all of them, were under a $1,000. That was years ago. The most expensive eBay vacuum auction I can remember was a Kirby from the 30s or 40s with an orginal bag in amazing shape. Genuinely rare and very hard to find in orginal conditon. If I remember correctly, it was somwhere around $10k. Like you could buy a decent used car with the money. There was big thread on here watching the countdown.

I've never seen Convertible tools for sale, let alone NIB. That listing obviously has a collector bidding on it.

I’m not sure how I feel about new in the box. I’d be tempted to use it! I’ll stick with used Hoovers. So I won’t have to make that decision. I have/seen some very nice examples of used vacuums over the years.

True, Kenny!!

I've seen AND have some "vintage" cleaners that look like they just came out of the box!
To think this vac in question, with tools, new, might have been one hundred bucks!
When I "go to the BIG movie", some people are gonna get a few very nice machines, too.

There is a Lewyt Electronic that goes up on eBay a few times per year. It's very rare (I have one in chrome). I watch the bidding go through the roof, everyone is watching it - then the listing is removed due to an 'error' in the listing. Interestingly, only a few people (like maybe 3) are the bidders who place almost constant bids to try and outdo each other. Are they the seller's friends, who know the listing is going to be removed? It's always interesting to watch those very expensive items go through the roof only to be 'removed' at the last minute. Almost like a "see what I have" type of thing where they never "really" wanted to sell it.

And, Kenny,

gottahaveahoove's profile picture
many of mine are already promised to others. If anyone sees my sister or nephew selling my cleaners, well.................enjoy.
' I have detailed instructions as to how to liquidate them. Tom A. is aware as well.
What about NIB and the box is still sealed? You'll maybe never see what's inside!
Not what they were made for. But, it's not my concern.

That is quite the price.

Kirbyloverdan will make collectors happy some day. He buys 2 of each current model Kirby. One for show and play. The other kept in the box unused. I think he has NIB Kirby's that start with the Kirby Classic model to the current machine.

I wonder how many others were in a financial position to be able to the same with other classic makes and models.

Did someone retract a bid

gottahaveahoove's profile picture
for $1,000.00? I don't follow bidders that much. But, hey, if someone has the funds and interest......................
I'd never do it, but, I'm not bidding at all.
I hope the winner enjoys, if it's true.

@Gottahaveahoover

I believe someone did retract some bids. Bidding is now sitting at $540 with a day and 21 hours remaining.
