I was cruising EBay tonight and came across this one...look at the cost! Over $500 already...

Don't know why that Hoover vacuum would be so "rare"?

They sold very few of this model...

Am I the only one thinking that the seller's home decor looks vintage/retro awesome too?

So Andy...

I'm most certain you did place a bid on it;didn't you?

 

[vacuumlad1650]

Gosh, if I had that kind of money...
I wouldn't come close to paying that much for a Vac. I didn't bid. Far too expensive for me!

 

[vacuumlad1650]

Michael, as far as I can tell, there are no bids? I don't know much about using Ebay, so I'm not sure...

Andy,

It's a fixed price listing.
You can pay the seller's asking price, or click "make offer" and submit what you feel is a fair price.
Only the seller sees your offer, and they can accept, decline, or counter-offer.

Sadly, I have way too much experience with the buying side of eBay!

Ahh, OK.
This one's too rich for me, so I'm not even going to try with it. Someone with deeper pockets can have it!

I would not be surprised if the bidding would go up that high IF the seller was to lower the starting bid a quite a bit. Just like those new in box Bison you see every now and then. Sure they would sell for a pretty price if starting bid was lowered. My thoughts.
I do hope someone at least submits a decent offer as this would be an amazing vacuum to have in a collection.
