    NIB Kirby Traditions?

    Greed--one of the Seven Deadly Sins The man who keeps raising the price of his NIB Traditions is an example of greed (one of the seven deadly sins, which the Catholic church also calls avarice (Latin: avaritia)). Another example of greed is the guy who scammed me out of $240 here in Canada by...

    Electrolux model 1205

    I am still very interested in it. (Remember when I asked about shipping to Calgary?) Did you ever find out how much shipping would be? If you don't get a new home for it, please donate it to some thrift store somewhere around you so someone else can enjoy it (rare treasures like Electroluxes...

    What Is The Most Elegant Looking Kirby?

    What, in your opinion, is the most elegant looking Kirby of all time? In my opinion, the Tradition 3CB is the most elegant in appearance, with its blue vs. shiny metal combination. Blue vs. shiny aluminum go together luxuriously! Note the "marbleized" appearance of the blue on the upright...

    Canadian and US Versions of Electrolux Vacuums

    I grew up in the USA, but now live in Calgary, Alberta (since Sept. 2012). I have seen older Canadian Electroluxes that look similar to American ones. Yet Canadian model designations are different to those of American machines. I have a question: Are the Canadian machines direct versions of...

    Numatic

    North American vs. British Numatics The Numatics sold here in North America have plugs suitable for our 110V outlets, while those sold in the UK have larger, fatter 3-prong plugs (for the UK 220V outlets). So there is no need to import one from the UK (theirs could not plug into North American...

    NIB Kirby Traditions?

    Hi stricklybojack! I have reported it to my bank, and I am thinking of going to my local police to report it. In his response to my Calgary Kijiji ad, he sent me a photo of his "BNIB Kirby", and said he was in Vernon, BC, so I trusted him. Now I'm not so sure to trust him, after his failure...

    NIB Kirby Traditions?

    About three weeks ago or so, I had a Calgary Kijiji want ad for a NIB Kirby Tradition. Someone in Vernon, BC, responded saying he had one. So I offered $200 for it (plus shipping), paid him by Interac e-transfer from my bank, and he received it. He shipped it a few days later (or so he...

    Electrolux model 1205 for sale

    Hi again! If nobody in the USA wants it, I'm still interested. But could you find out how much it weighs and how much shipping would be from your location to Calgary, Alberta? Would $100 (not including shipping) be a good offer for you?

    Electrolux model 1205 for sale

    Shipping to Canada might be expensive, because of the unit's weight and bulk.

    Electrolux model 1205 for sale

    Are you offering your 1205 only to those in the USA? I live in Canada, and would offer $100 for it if you were willing to ship to me in Canada. Please let me know.

    Electrolux model 1205 for sale

    I would love it if there was one available up here in Canada (the 1205 was a US model, not made in Canada) to add to my collection; I have been wanting a green Electrolux. I would take this one if shipping from the USA to Canada were no problem.

    Kijiji Electrolux AP280 Find!

    I looked up Electrolux model history on Google, and found out that the green power nozzle (that was on the machine when I bought it) is the style PN5 (1984-1987, associated with the Silverado Special Edition, Diamond Jubilee, and Marquise models). When I took my AP280 to Superior Vacuums in...

    Kijiji Electrolux AP280 Find!

    Hi collector2! Thanks for the info (and confirming that it is 1982). That (in your photo) looks like a beautiful set. Is that your kit? It must be hard to find a whole set like that (looks like NIB). If I could find one like that... Even better would be if I could find a GREEN...
