Oh, er, sorry... usually ebay listings have a page count of visitors and I didn't see one on this listing. I am sure you'll get it with no prob --- there has not been a single bid on it. |

I thought I knew it was worth watching and bidding on, Charles. Your post confirmed what I was only guessing at, according to the color. It was also the blue hammertone polisher 'shoe' I was most interested in. My first blue Turb-O-Tool unit - from Doug Smith - came with the drill chuck and a rubber polisher pad on an armature. My other Turb-o-tool is the 'G' white & turquoise one plus the matching waxer/shampoo base with the turquoise solution tank that sits atop the Turbo motor unit. So, I'm very pleased to have made a play for this, now that I have re-established my West Central Pennsylvania shipping address. :-) Since USPS changed its policy to ship only Priority International the rates to Canada are just too high. A year ago, a 25 lb cylinder vacuum cleaner could be shipped standard to my town from the US for just under $30; that same vacuum today would run close to $70. Btw, my next target will be that pale green Comvac that passed without a bid last week. I too passed it up, assuming it would skyrocket in the last 5 minutes. Just goes to show...oh, something or other. :-) Dave, working too much but happily awaiting the daily reports from North Canton. |

I started watching it.....Don't need the other stuff....just the turb-o-tool...perhaps if it doesn't sell, they'll cut a deal on it! |

snag the Turb-o-tool and re-flog the E on ebay. :-) Here's my other blue Turb-o-tool drill chuck & polisher disk. To the right are a bunch o' Electrolux floor nozzles and to the left a GREY hammertone polisher. The two other blue ones and the white/turq Turb-o-tool Shampooer are in their own cartons 'two elevator stops down'. |
