I...

Wouldn't get it either... I simply don't trust this guy and Chase has a point about the cord winder. Also if its "like it just came out of the box" it shouldn't have dust in the coils of the hose and under the cord rewind and power pedals. It also looks like there are minute scratches on the PN and around the base of the machine... Does it look good for a machine of its age? Yes, but does it look like it just came out of the box and its worth $500? No, it would also be nice if he could have taken the picture of a machine he wants $500 dollars for with something better than an entry level Canon A530 from 2006 so you could have an accurate idea of the machines condition... Even with a good camera most scratches on these things won't show up you need to see it in person especially when you're going to be spending this much... Plus you have no idea what condition either motor is in, the brushroll could be trashed, and some of the electrical connections could be shot. I personally wouldn't even consider this thing w/o seeing it in person but thats just me. I also wouldn't pay anything near what this guy wants for it.
 
To be honest...

I just wasnt in the mood to complain when I replied at like 2 in the morning but I mean I have to agree with you guys because it looks googled. I looked it up and could'nt find it but you know.... Anyway, if it was 30 plus shipping than I MIGHT concider it but I would still be really reluctant.
 
Just...

Got the Destiny today... Pull it out of the box and bugs start crawling out of it... This should be interesting to deal with...
 
XD

Thats punny! I already cleaned it up for the most part. Bugs are gone, motor compartment looks decently clean, the SS mesh pre-motor filter looks like it was stepped on, hose end is crushed so badly I don't know if it'll fit into a wand, and theres what looks like mud and mold on the inner portion of the canister. So thats what would have been your Destiny lol.
 
The Destiny could go to FantomFan, because he remembers this vacuum when he was little. And Zach, was this the first time you unboxed a vacuum and found bugs crawling out?
 
No, I didn't google it. I don't appreciate that kind of talk when y'all have never seen or meet me. Yes this is my vacuum. And I am not a liar, I have been selling stuff on eBay for many years I have sold fantom lightning before that were not as good as this one for 300 dollars. If you don't like someone's price, that's fine. This is America a person can price an item for whatever they want. If you don't like the price then you don't buy the item. Simple as that, but don't run down or bad mouth the person. Thanks
 
Good...

For you if you can sell it for that much but let me ask you, does it have Display stand? Does it have the Mini PN? Does it have the bare floor tool? All new in box?
 
Yep...

I am 16 I think Szymon is around my age too. If the machine came with all I listed it would be far more appealing... But since I managed to pick one up with all of that along with the video owners manual for $25 and the overall condition is around what you have I still view it as a rip off. But again if you can get what you're asking good for you.
 
Hmm...

Henry, I hope you will be able to sell it soon, but sorry, not to me because I 1. Don't have that money, and 2. I think that's too much anyway. Thanks, and sorry for being what I guess you can call an ass. Anyway, I hope I find one somewhere else! :(
 
Oh it is way too much. But I don't need the money nor do I really want to sell it. That's why I priced it so ridiculous high. I would love to buy the mini power head and bare floor attachment. If anyone has them to sell let me know. Thanks
 
Maybe $500 is bad enough for a Fantom. I was hoping that would go to Zach to get his Fury and Thunder new belts and brushrolls.
