Take a look. Its self explanatory. Its 3 times higher than any I've ever seen and I've been watching for probably 5+ years. CLICK HERE TO GO TO lux1521's LINK on eBay |

It sure is nice, but is it really worth more than my car? Dave |

Thats getting up there. I would NEVER pay that much for that kind of lux. Maybe a 1205 or XXX. |

Who in their right mind would spend that much on a vacuum cleaner? |

Perhaps, but what good does it do if they all go this high? I think the only cleaner I would pay this much for is a Hoover Model "O." Or maybe a Lux model 5 ;-) |

Maybe this was an estate find and over the years there had been more than one lux in the house so it was assumed everything went with this machine. Not everyone is a vacuum expert like us at the club. |

I suspect that that would be one of the last Golden J's put out as most of them had the metal handgrip and external cord connection for the PN like the 1205. The book is the other hint toward that idea. While it says Golden Jubilee on the book its almost the exact same cover as they used on the Super J's. More than likely the last of the machines were put out / cleared out in this form when the Super J first came out. Doug PS - the sprayer definately isnt right and, to my knowledge, they didnt have a grey tool kit |

Gotta agree Terry, If you've got it, what the heck? You know, maybe it's the winning, not so much what they've won. Rick |

This is, of course, assuming that the buyer actually follows through. I've only got one negative feedback on my own profile on ebay and it was a buyer that bid high then backed out after the end of the auction. But not before leaving retaliatory negative feedback. Apparently he did that to others too as his rating (before ebay started to hide them) was -4. Doug |

Some IDIOT did not pay 3k for this thing, I mean Sure it's NIB but 3k for a new old vacuum. Give me 3000 dollars and I'll make it dance. |

I have bought cars that cost less than that lux in the past, I would never dream of spending that much on one vacuum, unless I would be lucky enough to win the Powerball Jackpot Sam |

$51.00 - Boy, was I off, but that was the max I would pay. Sort of backing off on collecting right now, actually trying to downsize a bit. But Terry is right. Who are we to judge what someone pays? It is the rule of valuation - "What a willing buyer will pay to a willing seller." That just set the market value.

Jack, Great Point!!! I don't think that any of us would. As I have said before if you are the seller it is a completely different story!! Sure hoping to see you in Chicago!! Terry |
