Most expensive Kirby ever!

[70catalina]

If you haven't had a good gut busting, can't breathe, runny nose laugh lately, go to E-Bay and search "vintage Kirby". Scroll down to the "One owner" 1958 model 518.

Pretty good deal! Shipping is reasonable too!

Oh, Ye Gods.

It looks like a nice machine, but it would not be worth that if it had once been the personal property of Queen Elizabeth II and came with pictures of her in a pinny and kerchief, using it to vacuum the halls in Buckingham Palace.

I would give him ten grand...

if I knew the Hope Diamond was inside the sani emtor. Hopefully it didn't break the metal fan on it's way in!

You know a vacuum is too expensive when the square root of the buy it now price is too much to pay.

I'd buy that for a dollar!

Looks like someone is trying to play VCCC members for fools.

What is this seller taking or smoking-yes,its a nice,shiney,pretty Kirby 518---But the $12000 question----WHERE ARE THE ATTACHMENTS AND THE ORIG BOXES,MANUALS,PAPERWORK?????This is why I don't use "EROOK","EGIP"!!!!To many NUTS in the EBay tree!!!

 

[tolivac]

And to top it off--this isn't one of the gold plated award Kirbys.This doesn't have the 1Mil gold Royal beat--at least not yet.

 

[ultimatevacman]

Bargain! Yeah... Right...

 

[tolivac]

400 bucks for shipping???Does he hand delivor it to you???How bout a demo,too!!!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I think the seller is

very "pleased with him/herself". Must be something to have such an opinion of one's self.

Whoever buys it in the end will be a proud owner of that.

I'd like to meet the person dumb enough to buy it. I have some swamp land in Florida I'd like to sell them.

 

[70catalina]

Price INCREASED...

to $12,000.00!!!!

 

[1926700]

Price increase indeed!!!!

This is a resisted item, it was $350.00 buy it now (i would barley pay $10.00 for it.) So my question is why was the price raised from $350.00 to THAT!!!!??????

 

[kirbyclassiciii]

Jae,

This seller is probably going to be blacklisted by eBay for listing the item at such a high price no one would be willing to pay for in this recession.

This proves some Ebay sellers are truly NUTS if they think a rebuilt Kirby, no matter HOW nice it looks, would go for $12 G'S!! Heck, this makes Ebay seller Kirbyfans's Kirby 505 listing for $2,500 a bargain compared to this. Better get the smelling salts for the Ebay-er when he faints from his Kirby STILL sitting put where it is, rather than selling! Truly nuts to command that money....

Such a deal

Must have been this sellers Mamau's Kirby. Considering the state the listing is posted from. My guess is the seller is hoping to pay off their new moble home. I wish the seller best of luck with the sale. However, I'll take a pass bidding on Mamau's Kirby.
