EBay & UPS
Charles,
Thanks for the above apology,however it is somewhat like a front page headline story being corrected at the bottom of page 7.

"opening bids to high"-If you will look at the next 20 vacs on EBay you might think mine can be close to reality for model,age,condition & rarity.
"just so happened -were relisted"-Joan routinely relists,and often reduces,items for me and others that get the most attention.
"motor frozen-cord frayed"-I do not recall the exact description but try to make each(of hundreds)accurate without being lengthy as well as having pictures of all sides and most areas.I think I mentioned the cord.I do not know if the shipping caused additional motor problems.
"why he would have singled me out for this crummy treatment"-One recent week I took 42 items(not all vacs)and I can assure you I did not and do not know how to'single out'any potential buyer of any particular item for "crummy treatment".
delaneymegan-Very sorry to hear of the packing on the Hoover spirit.But I and Joan DO WANT TO KNOW of any problems!That was and I hope still is a great straight suction canister.I prefer it to the deluxe cordwinder models.
We had the same UPS employee packing vacs with little if any problem for a long while and I have always been available at least on the phone to answer questions on how to pack a particular vac,remove handle?how to remove hose?etc.I will take time,that I really don't have to spare,and visit this UPS office the next time I take items to Joan.It may not be a pleasant social call!!
