Tom’s Electrolux 
Is actually in my possession now, unless he’s acquired another one. I purchased his close to 5 or 6 years ago! Tom’s machine was unawarded and didn’t have the little plaque on it.

This seller is a good freind. He is also an Aerus dealer. I know the vacuum well. It is in new condition from his personal collection. Worth every penny. | ||

Agreed, Michael. And that example looks mint!
Huakyvacs - Do you not realize that's a pittance for that vacuum? Hmm, let's see....hardly used, all the original attachments included, and a limited edition model not even released to the public? Sorry, reality check for ya here - that should have started at $1,600, not $670. And don't be shocked if a bidding war happens and the price skyrockets like we have seen before. Rob | ||

Dear kirbylux77. Nice to know when someone recognizes the worth of an expensive vacuum cleaner. | ||

I am now the new owner of the machine- even with some mixed feelings I feel that the machine was worth the rescue. I say " rescue" because this Commemorative Edition is not as mint as it appears in the Ebay advertisements. Cosmetically the machine was not well cared for as its riddled with hardened rust spots and some dents. However, mechanically it rocks. I have a very reliable resource who has agreed to perform a little nip, de-rust, and dent removal procedure in an effort to upgrade the current cosmetic condition of this collectible item from 63% to 99.5% .

Lesinutah, once again your rude comments never cease to amaze me! The whole point why someone who collects vacuums would be to save and preserve such a rare piece of history, NOT to use it every day. And just because you wouldn't spend $650 for a vacuum you wouldn't use, there are lots if others that would.
You obviously didn't learn your lesson after I went after you on the TriStar EXL thread earlier this year now did you?! Someone ought to write I D I O T all over your forehead :p Rob | ||

@ Michael LaBue: Look B I T C H: Whatever I choose or choose not to purchase has absolutely NOTHING to do with you, or anyone else for that matter. So now you've decided to slither your way to VL and continue your verbal onslaught with a few extra lies for good measure, just to beef up the drama. Your reputation precedes itself and I’m not putting up with any of it. Oh and yes I've blocked your tactless inappropriate ass on Facebook. I will see to blocking you here on VL as well. Wow...this now makes the third time within a week that the Bag Fill indicator has been triggered on this Commemorative. Next???

I'm not sure what's happened here but it looks like encorevacuums is mad that they got caught scamming a collector selling half a piece of crap for an exorbitant price.
Remember when I said "ouch" to the price? Yeah, what happened here in this conversation is exactly why. People think they have something special and can charge so much money for it and it doesn't change anything about it. This Electrolux is no different from the one I just got at a flea market for $5. It's an old vacuum that's been sitting around in a damp basement or garden shed and has suffered from the elements. I'd have paid $100 for it but no more. It's totally silly to pay that much for a vacuum. You can get a LOT rarer vacuums for pennies than this. Also what's going on here with this logic? Someone cant keep their story straight?

The auction is right here man, we can all see it.
tinyurl.com/5pywdp8... It is listed as "seller refurbished" and the description says it "has been cleaned up". Yes you can see the rust spots on the photos clearly, that part is indeed true. Maybe I'm just stupid, but in my world you should not be asking $600 for a vacuum that has rust on it that is also advertised as having been fully refurbished and cleaned up. Stainless steel polish or a soft wire brush would clean that rust off during the "refurbishment" I would imagine...right? However I do agree with Keith that there is absolutely no indication at all in the auction that says it is physically dented up. You can look at those photos for hours on end 8 ways to Sunday and not see dents because they are taken on a surface that matches the color of the vacuum. Even with you just admitting above that you knew it had dents in it when you sold it (but made no mention of that in the ad?) I still can not see where the dents are in the pics. Hypothetically speaking if I was considering buying this, I would never think at all that it was dented just from studying the photos. All I see is a nasty scuff mark between the rear wheels but there is no indication that its an actual dent or if there is more elsewhere on the vacuum. There's only 1 close up photo of the entire vacuum, the rest of the pics are from a couple feet above it. No close up of the big damage and rust marks at all. Also this appears to have happened on Facebook, so if the same ad was posted on facebook all fluffed up as being a minty fresh new deal but never changed on eBay, I would be very suspicious of why that would be that the vacuum had 2 different condition notations in 2 different places. Also just as an FYI - it is against eBay policy to sell an item off-eBay when the item is also listed on eBay at the same time. You can only have it listed and stated for sale on eBay and nowhere else. | ||
