Damn shame. Fortunately, G-series Kirbys are fairly plentiful and often not terribly expensive to acquire. Keep looking; yours is out there!

I've gotten over my loss... Because of this beauty! My Hoover W/T Anniversary Twin Chamber. I got it from the place that I least expected a good vac, Salvation Army. I have only purchased here once before, A coffe table. I was running to the area where the vacs are and I saw a silver vac around a corner just looking down the aisles while running to my destination and I ran down the aisle and discovered this birth. This is on my mega want list so I'm happy. Oh and you can see its older brother my S/P bagged from 06, oh and my new one is from 08/08

So sorry to hear your deal fell through

I have fond memories of the G3 & G4 as well. Thankfully they are very easy to find. Greatvacs.com sell reconditioned G4s with attachments & warranties though. I have had great experiences from this site in the past, I bought a G5 from them years ago and when I got it, it looked brand new! They are pretty reasonably priced too.
