Dream Team Ian, Your courage, and clever wit, make you indispensible (but I still think you should carry a Leatherman tool). Remember this one minute video from what we refer to as the holidays? http://www.goodfirm.com/movies/WarriorInt.wmv

...and Kyle popped back. Yo, Mr. K, remember you were going to give us more pics after your dad's massage? ...and tell us who your appraiser/collector was? ...and are you saying he gave you that $180+ number "sight unseen" (as they say in the bizz)?

Hmmm, This is interesting. Fred N.'s appraisal suggests that he is concerned that the Dream Team has undervalued the unit. My first inclination, a knee jerk response, was to throw it out as something just diddling with us. But Fred certainly has the credential to give an estimate - so I need to...

Estimate of Value The proposition that a vintage vac (or refrigerator or washing machine) is only worth what someone will pay for it is a charming homily and probably generally the best approach for on line commmunication in a friendly club. However, there is another way of looking at that...

Have your fun, Jeff... ..at least for now. 54 days.

...and Clarification In my clarifying (a term I prefer to groveling), let me state that Charles-Richard stands by his very fine article about Aunt Tillie's vacuum when it comes to valuation. http://www.137.com/value/

..yet another CORRECTION I wrongly attributed Pat's estimate to Charles-Richard. I guess the Hamilton Beach tab tripped by mind out west. I apologize to Charles-Richard as it was Pat Frozeeeeee who provided the quote and joined the team: Recap: Ian - $60 Pete - $30 to $50 Jeff $20 to $50...

Jeff's Balls My dear Sir, I am not awarding them, I am just locating them. You have shown them to us all. Impressive, my good man.

I'm baaaaack!!!! ,,now, the recap RECAP Recall, I was asking for an educated guess as to the fair market value of the Compact C-4 that Kyle was using to try to make a deal. And, in deference to the tremendous slop room caused by the limited/squirrely market, I tried to make easier by providing...

Aviation Air-Way, if you don't toss some of those sandbags out, you won't get much lift. Gotta go---- http://www.goodfirm.com/movies/MarkSail.wmv

Gotta go. I will be out of touch for a few days and the only access I will have is brother-in-law's dial up and I would rather take gas than do that. So, DreamTeam, just know that some of the guys might want to say some stuff with me gone. Watch yourselves. Click the link if you want to know...

Important Correction. I need to be more careful, Rick, I said "bid" - I meant "guess" - That is, I think, part of the problem we were having here. I don't want you to bid on this thread, just give you good faith "notion" of the possible value.

Back to the Duel Mornin', Rick. Nice to hear from you. I was a little relieved that you said "light hearted" instead of "Lite hearted." Because Jeff and I want you to know there is nothing "lite" about this duel coming up. We are serious. Deadly serious. He is probably going to have trouble...

Dream Team I can't get over it. British, Canadian, American, Spice Islands - we can't lose!

America joins the fight!! What a treat to come back from breakfast (where I was trying to brief my secretary on all this stuff) and find your post. You made my day (like Ian and Pete did yesterday.) It is starting to look like a dream team. Ian, Pete, Victoria and Mark. Now, team, I have a...

French Pete, you never need to apologize to the French (smile).

Good morning Ian - apology repeat Ian, look at post 16761 - I failed to credit you. The following posts contain language chiding you that was not deserved. I take it back and ask your fogiveness: 16729, 16734, and 16757. You were, in fact, the first non-obfuscator and it appears that it was...

Er, uh, Pat... Nice to hear from you, but I see you slipped away forgetting to leave us your numbers. Here, just use this form: "I ___[Pat]_____________ think the fair market value of Kyle's Compact, based on his description and the pic, is worth between __________ and _____________...

Another Disclosure Item To give you a feel of what you are up against, my good man, I should also share this: When I prepare wills for clients, they get an unconditional guarantee. Twice in my career I heard from lawyers making noise about contesting a will I prepared. I said, "Let me explain...

Gotta be sure I credit Ian Just let me clear/clarify here with Ian so when he gets up he sees that, in fact, he is the leader. Follow Posts numbered 16717, 16721 and 16722. Ian saw that line in the sand and knew what his duty was. It seemed like the whole club was holding him back but he broke...
