Its certainly rare to have the box, yes. Shame about the wand, nice ones of those are getting scarce. Actually, we have just started building a DC04 De Stijl to hang onto for the future, as we did a while ago with a DC01. Photo attached of where it is up to today. Build documented in the...

How much is that faux castle in Kentucky out of interest, Brad? 

Ten photos of different file sizes......   Browser is Chrome 35.    Edit: All seems to work nicely with preview. 

You boys in the States have some really cheap houses!    Here you pay $150k for a chocolate box. 

How about a castle in Bishops Stortford for two million quid?    For our pals over the pond that is a shade over $3m  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2630350/Fit-princess-Seven-bedroom-castle-turrets-romantic-gardens-2m-Prince-Charming-not-included.html

I'd prefer this for a little less money.    Observe what is in photo 5.  http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-35350327.html

This is a house of a chap I know that is for sale right now.    I think its a bit overpriced actually.  http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-29293443.html?premiumA=true

OBSOLESCENCE . It how company makes money they cant make parts for old machines for ever . They don't care about collectors its your job to stock up on parts while they are available. Company's would go out of business catering to a few vacuum collectors.   Dan is correct above as well.  ...

Back in my retail days we would often find boxes upon boxes of obsolete spares while stocktaking, which had been ordered over-enthusiastically long ago by previous staff members. We knew they were never going to sell anytime soon, and were only taking up valuable space in the warehouse (not to...

One of the lads on the counter bagged me a handful before they went. I've got about ten.    If any of you chaps want one, you only need cover the postage. I am happy to pass them on to folk who want one as a one off.    Use the link to shoot me a mail if you want one. ...

I just heard back from the owner of said items. He said they were for Australian machines similar to Electrolux, and are about twenty years old. I guess he has had them long enough so they are going. 

The comment about China referenced where such stuff is manufactured. If something gets made wrong, colour, design, etc. One does not send it back. One puts them in the skip. 

I was in a supplier today and there was a skip full of these (photo attached).    The guys on the counter seem to think they are Electrolux after-market handles that are no longer in demand. The hose end had a thread in that a hose could be wound into.    They could just be stuff from...

We have a Roomba at home. Its OK for dusting wooden floors and getting under furniture.    In mainland europe they are very popular. It was Holland I first saw one years ago. 

Hoover got a bad name in the UK over the flights to Florida scandal (Wiki link below). I think the brand never really recovered from that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoover_free_flights_promotion

Very interesting pile of stuff he has there. I wouldn't mind the DC01 if he still has it. 

This is something that is in one of the boxes under my desk in our shop. I didnt want to toss it in with one of our eBay job lots of heads and tools in case it was of use to anyone as it is probably a rarity in some places.    Here's the tale: some will know that my wife is Russian by birth...

Unimatic1140, I just checked my emails, I meant MVC, but the OOP is right. We have an Open Cart installation that is giving some errors, and it is so heavily modified that even the OC author, who also wrote the mod that is throwing the errors couldn't fix it.    OOP is beyond me, (html in...

Tell me about it Anthony. We do have a couple of oil filled rads in the back that are on 24/7 to dry filters on. I guess that doesn't help. Nor does the open staircase in the back where the heat rises up. But I blame the women with fan heaters everywhere. They are like under desks and...

Citroen BX, I'd love to have a new red cradle for that machine and some new purple wheels if you can spare them at reasonable money? Or I'll swap you something you need or whatever.    Any of that other new DC01 stuff you want to sell, I'll have a go at too. Contact info in the link.  ...
