I

Inquired and got the actual dollar amount in shipping. $70 that's including all the fees and shipping. I've asked a few other questions and I got a reply to everyone.
In case anyone was wondering.

Thanks for doing that Les,is that a flat rate or is it different depending on region? $70 is pretty steep - especially if you're buying a tiny vacuum.

I asked on shipping for my favorites, lots 42 and 76; the person replied that it will be about $50 to me, possibly implying they can combine if it is a small item and a large one.

The

Vacuum I asked about was the kirby vacuette electric model j. It had an hour and 15 minutes left it was at $400.
He would combine items too.
I was just hoping it stayed under $100.

 

[hoover300]

Well,

I got the AV5 and Polar Cub, the 47s had too high a max bid set for me. What did y'all get?

 

[KirbyCollector01]

I won

The Vacuette Electric. Fairly Good deal I must say! I can’t wait to get it!

 

[lesinutah]

Well

If you think a motor swap is hard a non working vacuum is even harder. I assume it is just a wire issue.

If it weren't for the high shipping costs, I would bought 4-6 of those. I wanted to find a company that could go there and strap them all down on a single pallet for possible big savings in shipping....didn't find one

When I first saw this, I didn't realize how close it was to me. Only a 35-minute drive, that made my shipping concerns go away, though since others have had experience with this seller, I trust it would have gone well anyway. Originally I just wanted the bag off of the 28 (to use on my 150), but then I started to get a bit too excited with the rest of the stuff, after figuring out I was within a reasonable distance.

Anyway, I'm pretty happy with my haul. The model 28 came complete in box, and the 300 was complete with attachments. Lots of great stuff! Unfortunately, a lot of things were split up, so I had to buy multiple lots to get everything that went together.

Good for you and congrats!!! the shipping killed my shopping there. If I'd been only 35 miles away I would have cleaned up similar to your take. I wanted several Royals, one Hoover, some compacts and some kirby accessories.

 

[huskyvacs]

Yeah those mom and pop auction houses seem to only pay off if you are within spitting distance from them and can both pick up and pay in cash. The mysterious shipping fees plus the 15% extra fees just for paying with a credit card + final value fee is just absolutely mental.

Has anyone on here won the auction for lot number 209, it was a hose lot? There is a hose on that rack that goes to one of the machines that I have won, I was wondering if I can purchase it from you?

Thanks again for all you do.

I won that one, which hose is it?

 

[vacman1961]

Hi Bvac6, the hose is all the way on the left, it is a sort of copper looking hose with a white machine end that is about 6" long. Would you be willing to sell it to me?

[bvac6]

Out of curiosity what does it go to? I don't mind selling it, if you'd like to email me we can discuss a price, shipping, etc.

 

[vacman1961]

Hi Bvac6, I hope you had a good trip to Harrisburg, I am heading there on Monday to pick up my winning auctions. I sent you an email about the hose that I would like to buy, please get back to me.
