 Likely scammers. The average IQ level of eBay users has dropped about 70% in the last 10 years. You'll be lucky to even have someone ship you the vacuum at all after it sells. I think out of every 10 vacuums I buy in a row, I receive only about 3 of them. The rest just steal the money and never ship it, then have to wait 2+ weeks for eBay to go through their process of getting my money back waiting for the seller to respond to something they never wil. | ||

Since I'm not on facebook, my only options are eBay, Craigslist, and thrift stores.
Of those three, thrift stores have provided the best bargains. I'll buy parts and supplies on eBay, but I've never bought a vacuum that way. Generally, the cost of shipping makes it impractical. I've gotten a few from Craigslist. They don't show up often. But, when they do, it's sometimes a good deal. Right now, in fact, someone has a beautiful green Eureka 2091 D, in what looks like really good condition. But, they're firm on $80 for it. That's still cheap compared to an eBay price, plus shipping. But, compared to thrift store prices, it kind of hurts. If it was an absolute dream find, or like one from my childhood or something, I might go for it. But, under the circumstances, I'll probably have to pass. | ||
