Sorry I have not had time to post to this thread.
Brian, you are not to feel bad about posting this auction. Ebay is a public auction, anyone can see it.
Personally, I enjoy seeing some items that are posted and talked about here. I may or may not have an interest in the machine to purchase, but enjoy seeing the auction, and hoping it finds a good home.
Someone here mentioned, place your top bid, if it goes higher, you were not going to win it any way. Simple as that.
This is a place to learn, collect, save and protect our common interest...The VACUUM CLEANER!
My collection is as large as I am going to allow it to be, so now it is fun to see them here, on auctions, at the convention and mini meets.
