Look what I ordered off ebay today!

[ericaustin]

Sooooo excited! It has been forever since I have had a tech drive Kirby! I have decided to sell all of my other machines on ebay. I just don't have the closet space.

Do you still have your Kirby Generation 3 with the metal fan? Do you still have your Sanitaire with the metal fan? Thanks.

Kirby G3 and Sanitaire

The G3 is at my parents' house. I sold the Sanitaire already.

Do you still keep in contact with ttuee2006? How has he been doing? Everybody misses him on VacuumLand/YouTube!

Nice. Looks like the one I grabbed from the dumpster, but in much nicer condition. I looked inside the dumpster the next morning, but didn't see any attachments. Found a set on eBay for a G5, though. Same stuff but gray plastic instead of black.

That's my all time favorite modern Kirby. Love that black/yellow color. It's a giant bumblebee ready to sting dirt.

Ttuee2006

I chat with him once in a while. He's doing well. We both kind of got out of collecting. In my case, it's just not practical for apartment living.

ttuee2006/tristar left the internet when I was 12 years old because he accused me of stalking him on Flckr and I wasn't held responsible due to how mentally/emotionally damaged I was from years of masking autism and lying to people about it.

That is a shame to hear.

Darn. There is no need to hide being on the spectrum. There is so much help available out there if you seek it. Our little boy is on the spectrum so we have some hands on experience. I don't know your age but it is never too late to seek help through things like Applied Behavior Analysis, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, etc. It really does help. A lot.

I hope you can feel safe being yourself around others now.

That was a beautiful response. For the record, I'm 29 years old. ABA therapy and speech therapy did save my life.

TTUEE2006/Tristar apparently was dissing machines other collectors/enthusiasts like in spite of their flaws.

There are also rumors he was disrespectful to my ex-girlfriend back in the day, a relationship that didn't work out and resulted in a break-up a year later. However, I can say he this, he didn't know her and he wasn't responsible for what went down.

Now seems to be the time to buy Kirby’s on eBay, there are several at a good price. For a while, there was nothing under $250. I toyed with getting another but I think two are enough for me.
