Only one set of 3 bags, opened, on eBay. For $44.99. Maybe someone here has some or knows a modern alternative.

Good luck, draarc.

Saw that and would like to find a cheaper alternative as $15 a bag is almost 10x the original cost.

They came in packages of four bags per package. What would be a good price on eBay for a package of these bags? Now that I've retired, I've had time to look through my entire collection and have discovered that I have many many boxes of vintage obsolete disposable bags, including at least 25 packages of the type W. I agree $44 is way too much money but, what would be a good price for a package? $30? It's eBay after all.
Send me a message, I’ll provide you some free of charge. I agree with others; most of those bellows have rotted away long ago. If you have one you can use, I’d much rather give you this vintage paper than have it sit in a box.

Remember that people need these and use these to whoever needs them for their old vacuums, they are consumables, not something that has any purpose being hoarded. They last as much as a few months, a few weeks, depends on the collector. ibaisaic buys packs of OEM bags all the time and uses them for his demonstration videos doing the big mess tests then tosses them out.
I wouldn't charge more than $10-$15, maybe $20/$30 if its super rare and someone just wants to frame it on the wall as a museum piece to complete a display model. I've gotten a ton of old packages of bags and belts from thrift stores usually with only one used, and only paid 15 to 75 cents. Nowadays I look for lots of vacuum parts on eBay that have bags, or vacuums that come with a lot of extra stuff with them, to get added value to my inventory.
I bought a broken Fuller Brush Co upright vacuum from a guy that couldn't fix it and it was just a box of parts, and he threw in all the bags he had just bought for it, and it came with over 20+ hepa bags both OEM and 3rd party.
Vacuum bags and belts are selling like hotcakes right now on eBay so now is the time.

Exactly. Vacuum things are way overpriced now.
