Nice, but not THAT nice...

(I'd love to have the instruction manual, though!)

On the other hand...

This is very very lovely and, if I did not already have one equally nice, I'd be very tempted.

I have to say, the Compact is easily my second-favorite canister vacuum cleaner, second only to Electrolux. The Compact is powerful (but a bit loud) and funky looking, and I do love me some turquoise. I use mine just about as often as I use one of my Electroluxes.

Sorry to say, damn tempted! Forgot how much stuff mine is missing.

Not to stir the pot too much, but is it fair to complain about the price when both items here have a best offer option?
[I think most of the prices on Ebay are nuts myself but who am I to judge when they actually sell for such crazy prices?]
Just my two cents.

P.S. Charles please don't take this as a personal attack. I have you and your website to thank or blame for my love of Electrolux. I have more than I can count now and I could have cared less about them 10 years ago. I just wanted to comment on the principle.

Oh, I did not notice the "make offer" thingie on them. But I will say, the few times I've "made an offer" on an old vacuum cleaner that I thought was fair, the seller declined.

And n.b., no umbrage taken at all
