Another NOS Hoover

[bagintheback]

A Hoover Powerdrive! Incredibly overpriced and not as fun as the last Convertible from a few weeks ago, but still notable. I've seen maybe 4 or 5 of these and the brush rolls are all completely worn. My understanding is the brush rolls may be rarer than the vacuum itself. Huge box too, you just can't disassemble these things.

$5,299.95 BIN as of 9/21

Where in God's green earth do they come up with the pricing on these things?!

I really doubt would buy it at that price point. Its doesn't make sense other then "its vintage and still in its box... LETS JACK UP THE PRICE CONPARABLE TO A USED CAR!!"

Words fail me,

I guess the seller is thinking hey if I get my price then who gets the last laugh, I don't know. Crazy.

It's only $5299, guys. But that $99 for shipping is just too much.

98% of his auctions are overpriced way over average sold values.

A neat fix to those Power Drives with worn out brush rolls is to use the soleplate and brush bar from a Concept. I have tons of brush strips for Concepts left, and if you use the Concept soleplate as well as brush roller, it works like a charm.

dysonman1, I'm very interested on buying 8 Hoover concept brush strips. I have a Concept One & Two that needed new strips and they're hard to find nowadays. Is it ok I buy them from you? I can use PayPal. Thank you!

I messaged the seller about the vacuum, I said 10 years ago a seller had 10 of these and sold them for around $300 and realistically it won’t get near $1000. He said that was a decade ago and prices have gone up, apparently he knows vacuums better than myself.

I bought one back then......

I was wondering if this was the same guy.
