I use eBay and I have pretty good look on there. As long as the machines are free of mechanical issues, look decent, and are packaged well in the smallest box possible (for cheaper shipping), then you should have a fine time and even perhaps build a reputation with positive feedback. I typically set a "buy it now" price and include an option to make a best offer. In my experience, this gets them gone the quickest.

Depends on the vacuum. Kirby, Royals I usually sell on ebay. If I get a rainbow I sell it locally.
I had a black rainbow i was into it $225. I sold it for $850. I getblue or gold rainbows $30-$150. I sell them for $550-$750. I don't pat seller fees or shipping. You just have to know what people buy. |

I have no trouble selling refurbished vacuums, it's getting them in the first place that's the problem. I only refurbish vacuums with "good bones", which means no crap. Kirby, Rainbow, Lux, Tri-Star, etc. all have 'good bones'. Even some Simplicity and Riccar models do too.
As someone who would rather fix a vacuum than sell a person a new one, it's rare that I ever get a trade-in that amounts to anything other than dumpster food. Sure wish there was a door to door vac dealer in my area. Sadly, most of their trade-in machines are also crap. |
