Good question. The q&a at the bottom is even stranger than the price itself. Now, what came first, the high price, or the suggestion by someone that it was worth a fortune? And then one has to think, what it the motive of the person who asked the question / commented? Either way I really doubt it will sell.

Ha!

I saw that SAME cleaner at an estate sale this past weekend... I know it's the same, because of the 2 belts around the handle. It was marked $30 on Saturday, then probably went for $15 on Sunday (half price day).

There were also 2 boxes of old Hoover tools with it. It wasn't worth $30 to me, so I passed on it.

Yup.. there's one box of tools listed under his other auctions - starting bid $75.

And there's also the Kirby Sanitronic VII from a different estate sale.

Some people, I tell ya.. LOL

If he can resell it for that price (which he won't), more power to him.
