    $900 Electrolux?

    I seen this Electrolux Silverado used in box (not new in box), and it went from $30 to $900 overnight. This is the 3rd time it's been relisted due to nonpayment of bidders. Is this just kids playing around with fake money or what? This certainly can't be worth that much?

    I am not sure I've seen this before, and based on the Amazon comments this seems to have launched just within the last 2 months, so it must be brand new. She tips the scales at 22 lbs, but I am happy to see bagged vacuums coming back. I do believe I'll have to get one...
