My NEW AVALIR and I !!!!!

I quite disagree

Kirby MSRP allows for a reasonable profit for the sales force. They buy these machines from Cleveland for far less than the MSRP stated on the box. Besides, MSRP is already quite expensive, but if honest dealers honored that amount, their sales would no doubt increase rather than trying to get $2500 - $3000. In other words, volume of sales would increase, and I'll just bet the overall Kirby reputation would improve....

Very Beautiful!

Congrats on a quality machine! I am not a HUGE Kirby fan, but I have respect for those who are huge fans. They are GOOD vacuums. I DO like the new black color, but agree that it's "macho" scheme may turn off some buyers. If I bought a new Kirby (or most other high end vacuums) I certainly wouldn't pay more than $1000 for one.

You can usually just offer $900 in cash and they'll take it. Sometimes less if they haven't made a sale In awhile. That's what I did when I picked up my avalir the other day.
