A friend of mine has a Dyson DC14 Upright it is very used but works fine. My question is What would be the most it would go for on ebay? He wants me to sell it for him but I think He is expecting to much. He said it sells new for over 800.00 and wants at least half of that, which would be 400.00 and I doubt it would get that much off ebay.Seamus I'm posting a pic of it so You can see and Please let me know what You think <br
Thanks Skip...

Hygenic Bin Emptying

Am I the only one who finds that amusing? I've got allergies, and the only way I can "empty" a vacuum is to seal the paper bag with tape as soon as I take it out. I get other people to empty bagless machines if I have to use them <br
Stunning handheld vac, though.
 
Miele bags seal themselves closed as you pull them out of the vacuum, so no dust comes out. Many others have either a plug that you can snap in, or a sticky flap that will cover the opening. I agree, bagless vacuums tend to annoy me. But of all the bagless, Dysons are the most hygenic and easy to empty.

Hey : <br
Obviously im not too sure on US prices but the closest model we have to that(the turbo tool is smaller) retails approx £250($450 odd) <br
Either Dyson are MUCH more expensive over there or he kinda paid over the odds :( <br
I would have thought he would be VERY lucky to get anywhere close to what hes expecting, but you can only try.... <br

I'm very curious about the dc18. I really wanna examine the nozzle and brushroll. They have easily the best bagless design (with its fabulous cyclones and all) but below the waist the vacuums a mess. My fingers are crossed that this one can deep clean wonderfully.

Thanks so much For You'll's input, I think I will tell Anthony that he will be lucky enough to get at least 100.00 for it. It really works well been has really been well used as ont e side of it are white scrapes on it. He said if It were cleaned up it should get what he wants. He thinking I'm going to clean it but I'm not <br
Thanks Again Skip...
 
DC14

I don't understand why ANYONE would want to sell their Dyson. I have never had anyone trade in a Dyson, but would LOVE it, then I could sell someone a used one for less than brand new price. People all the time ask me if I ever get used ones, and I always say NO since I don't. You can't get better than a Dyson, so why would anyone want to go back to the filthy bag? Don't see it happening. However, if he does want $100 for it, I'll be first to give it to him. I'd clean it up and sell it to a customer for $400, with a warranty.

We've never had anyone trade in or sell a Dyson. It would be wonderful if they did, since so MANY people ask me if we have used ones (Dysons) <br
I'm not sure if anyone who owns a Dyson would ever be happy with bags again. Certainly not with having to buy them, along with filters and belts. <br
We sell new Miele's and Sebo's as well as Dysons. While I can and do sell the bag vacuums, it seems like such a struggle to do so. The Dysons just walk out of the store by themselves. The word of mouth advertising is excellent <br
If you friend wants to sell his machine, i'd be first in line to buy it for $100.
 
New Dyson models

There are three new Dysons for America due out in two weeks. One if the hand held DC16 (I'll be showing it off at the October 13th Mini Meet in chicago). The other is the DC17 Absolute, a new upright just for America. The third is launching in January, which is a new canister Dyson with electric power nozzle. The "slim" is for Europe, and will eventually make its way here to compete with Oreck. The DC17 was designed specifically for American thick carpets.
 
assuming the Dyson is a superior design, why hasnt it expanded into the commercial market? the bagless feature seems like a natural for a commercial cleaner, no? as for sales, the Oreck cleaners sell quite well also. i wonder how a Dyson would handle the volumes of fine powder and imbedded grit that cleaners like the Sanitaire and Hoover Convertible manage to collect from heavy carpets?
 
I will keep my Bagged Kirbys and Royals-and I got a Dyson "yellow-all floors"model from a Kirby dealer-It was traded towards a Diamond G-A VASTLY better machine!!I thought at one time Dyson had a commercial machine-remember seeing it on their website.It didn't have any attachments-and had a 3 wire grounded cord to meet OSHA and ANSI safety standards.There is a cleaning service here that uses Dysons-and they come in regularly to the Vac Hospital or Greenville Vac and sew to get their Belt and clutch assemblies replaced.Most of the commercial outfits here use Sanitaires.The Sanitaire has a better brushroll.Would like to see the new Dysons-though.
 
Dyson Commercial

Dyson do make commercial versions of their DC04, called Dyson Constant Max...see the link below (although site doesn't seem to be loading for me at the moment for some reason) - perhaps Dyson's stopped making them. I don't know if the commercials are available in the US yet...

I'm sure it will be yours. I talked to the office Manager and she said Kayla could at least get a 100.00 for it, so I told Sonja and she said she is almost positive that Kayla And Anthony would agree to Your offer <br
