Well, yesterday (Friday) I was on my bike and stopped at a yard sale, and something at the very end of the line of tables caught my attention. A Kirby G5 with the attachment caddy and a large box full of Kirby stuff sitting next to it. I asked how much, and one of the guys said $100. I did my usual small talk and told him that I collect vacuums and such, and he said I could take it for $50. I told him that if it was there tomorrow then I would come back and get it. I went back today after going to some other garage sales, and of course, there it was, but in a different spot. He saw me looking at it and asked if I was still interested and I said I was. He said, $30 and it's yours. I couldn't have pulled the money out of my wallet any faster! I got it home to find that it runs like brand new! I didn't think all of the attachments were there, but after going through all of the boxes, I managed to find every one of them! It also has the shampoo system, manual (with no rips, tears, or creases), Owner Care Program thing, VHS, and a box of Kirby Shampoo bottles in a box that would have came with the G6, I am guessing it was what the Kirby Distributor sold at the time when the G6 was out. Unfortunately all of the shampoo bottles are empty, but I don't like the Kirby shampooer anyways. Since I already have a G5, I'll probably clean this up and sell it on Craigslist. Bottom line, it runs great and was one heck of a deal!
