I think they should drop 10 dollars, it doesn't look to be in great condition...

Yeah, I don't really like fantoms, but they are hard to find! I didn't buy it though because I spent most of my money on two other vacuums today! I might hav already bought it if it was cheaper!

Fantoms aren't really that hard to find. At least over here. I see them all over. They are great vacuums for being from the 90's. Especially the Thunder. (That one). I would have definitely gotten it though.

No, that is in horrible shape. Look at the second picture, the plastic casing is busted up.

As mentioned, they're not hard to find. Save your money and you can get a much nicer one for the same price.

We had a Fantom Fury back in the 90's. Pushing it around was like pushing a pickup truck around without the engine running.
Mediocre results and a real workout to use.

We had a Thunder and Fury back in the late 90's. The Fury was 23097 times lighter, so it was easier to use than the Thunder. The Thunder didn't last long, I sucked up a sock with it and it burnt up. Our Fury lasted a while, the switch was jammed and stuck on on for the longest time, and after about a year the switch started spewing out sparks. But it was a pretty good vacuum. The one I have now it junk though
