Utter nonsense. Habitual trawlers of Ebay vacuum categories invariably find and watch long lists of vacuums long before anyone manages to post a link here. As for skillful sniping, that is simply a method for not tipping off the others patiently watching and driving up the bids in advance unnecessarily. But anyone who really wants the item would be posting a high appropriate bid based on their experience and research anyway, either in advance - see previous statement - or in the final few minutes/seconds.

Gee.....I had no idea that I was doing harm by posting this.
Sorry about that.....I honestly thought I was helping our little vac fan community by giving everyone a "heads up" on something really great. But if my posting this makes it too expensive for potential buyers, I guess I should keep quiet about what I see on eBay. I have never bought anything there, and have never sold anything there. Didn't mean to cause such a kerfuffle...... | ||

I wouldn't worry about it, Brian. The same people complain about eBay postings every time. Some people appreciate it, some are indifferent, and others hate it. You can't please everyone 100% of the time! | ||

I agree with Clayton. Thanks to people posting eBay listings I have found several machines that now reside in my collection that I otherwise would not have seen. | ||

Both sides have a valid point of view..one that can be debated on endlessly....Moderator makes the call...what goes/no go....decision final. we accept it and move on..it is what it is. | ||

Beautiful Brown!
Now that all the pointless shrieking seems to be out of our system, does anyone have any more info on this vac? When was it made? How much did it sell for when new? Did it differ greatly from the versions sold in the U.S.? The Concepts are among my favorite Hoovers and have been rumored to have won many-a cleaning contest at conventions in their era-catagory. I have one given to me by Jeff P. a few years back and when I really need to get some deep-down rug-thrashing done, it's the first one I think of! | ||

Thanks for all your support gang......
and sincere apologies to those who feel this made it more difficult for them to pay for something they really wanted. I have plenty of other ways to be part of all the great conversations here - so no need for me to get involved in the eBay controversy. I guess I really get excited when I see a vintage vac that has never been used in its original box! I don't have the facilities in my little apartment to try to clean up an old machine and deal with all the shmutz that someone has left in the bag and the hairs (ugh!) wrapped around the brush. So when I see a NIB vintage vac somewhere on the net, fireworks go off in my head! You should have seen how excited I was when I last saw a New-In-Box Eureka from the 1970's on eBay! I think it was one of those classic Princesses in avocado green with the wood-grain top.......ahhhh......as Barbra Streisand sings "memories..." (That avocado Princess was once in an episode of "Love American Style" - remember that show?) Okay...'nuff said guys....onward and upward! | ||

Many of us do not have the time to put into searching as oth
I am always poking around e-bay and I missed this one untill Brian posted it.If I had the money Id bid on it,anyway I do agree It can/does drive the price up and can be in poor taste to post something of your own. Like Matt, I would not feel right posting somthing I was selling. I can't even bring myself to put something on the bay without first offering it to the club first now that I have found you guys. So I guess I agree to dissagree,and respect everyones point of view :) Now I feel the need to window shop.lol | ||

Sorry I have not had time to post to this thread. Brian, you are not to feel bad about posting this auction. Ebay is a public auction, anyone can see it. Personally, I enjoy seeing some items that are posted and talked about here. I may or may not have an interest in the machine to purchase, but enjoy seeing the auction, and hoping it finds a good home. Someone here mentioned, place your top bid, if it goes higher, you were not going to win it any way. Simple as that. This is a place to learn, collect, save and protect our common interest...The VACUUM CLEANER! My collection is as large as I am going to allow it to be, so now it is fun to see them here, on auctions, at the convention and mini meets. Your President Morgan | ||
