As my great grandfather was known to say about horses...
...they're worth whatever some damned fool will pay. That holds true for vacuum cleaners as well, and for better or worse, you cannot use eBay prices as any sort of guide. Unscrupulous sellers and naive buyers can create all manner of unrealistic expectations. You might check the Marketplace section of this site for a somewhat more realistic idea of what similar machines go for. Selling on our Marketplace page would also ensure that it goes to someone who will appreciate it and take care of it. What you have is a fairly niche machine that will most appeal to collector/enthusiast. For most of the rest of the population, they'd take one look at an old vacuum and go "Ewwww! Why would anybody want somebody else's dirt!"
A couple of other condition notes: The hose is a generic, third-party replacement, as evidenced by the sliding suction relief control. The genuine Electrolux ones have a twist knob, which is a far more satisfactory design. I see someone has resorted to the 'broccoli band' method of keeping the suction relief closed. That said, the fact that it is a vinyl hose doubtless improves the vacuum's performance over a leaky OEM woven hose. For actual function, a genuine Electrolux vinyl hose is optimal. I can't tell from the photos, but is your electrified wand the more common two-piece model or the rarer telescoping one?
