CONGRATULATIONS! What other auction sites do you like? Obviously this wasn't eBay. | ||

Yes, I do.
I want nearly all of my newer machines and a few oldies gone to put towards my first vehicle. I saw this for very cheap and not far away, and did not want such a rare machine going to the trash(seeing as I was the only bidder). I've been limiting my intake quite a lot, having only taken in 2 (very old) machines the last couple months, this included. If you want any of the vacs I have pictured in that post, tell me and we can work something out.

I bought a 1995 Mercedes s420 on hibid for just over $100. You can find some insane things there sometimes. | ||

Brando - Sweet!!
Texaskirbyguy - Thanks! Looking forward to the finished product of that hand vac! Here are some better pics. I had to patch the bag right where the clip ends - It was missing a big chunk. Not my best work but it no longer blows hair chunks and mothball smell, lol. I did wash it out and it is totally dry now, looks a bit better. Note the twist on hose port, this was made before the quick disconnecting system. The switch tab is made of steel instead of pot metal, I wish they kept it that way. The same goes for the handle mechanism, head lock tab, and the fork in general. Also, the fork locks and the front wheels touch the ground when in hose mode, so it can be pulled behind the user. They really went backwards with innovation when they made the model 9. What does the little screw on the right of the fan case do? Can be seen in pic 3. | ||

Thanks! I think it is a model 8, as Jason Davis' model 7 has an older style tag. Having owned a model 9 as well, this one seems more advanced. They definitely cheaped out on the 9, going by the pot metal switch tab, as well as a 1 piece handle that doesn't lock upright and falls over in attachment mode.

My favorite vacuum site was shopgoodwill.com, until they permabanned me. I made a 2nd account to change my username/email but used the same paypal account and they just without any notification flat out banned me. I guess they thought it was a account hijack. Haven't bothered to eMail them yet to see if they would unban me. But anyway, Goodwill has some kind of freight brokerage with FedEx so the shipping rates are cheap. I got an entire Compact C-4 vacuum inside a Eureka ottoman case shipped to me for just $9! It must have been 50 lbs at least, I have no idea how they do it but don't ask don't tell. lol

Local auctions I will attest that HiBid is a heck of a source for regional (go drive to get it) auctions. I use them, as well as 3 other regional state auctioneers. | ||

They've stopped accepting my login credentials that worked just fine less than a monthago for no apparent reason at all. I'm wondering if they've had some sort of cyber attack that they're keeping quiet about. Oh well, it keeps me from spending money that I shouldn't be spending. | ||
