Remember these-nice one with the METAL base pan!These were pretty durable,and the metal base made a good heat sink for the motor.Later plastic base pan Sears vacuums had to be handled carefully-if it drops on its front wheel-the plastic base would be broken.There were MANY of these at the former vac shop here.Most of the time the broken Sears vacuum was left in favor of a new Riccar 1500 canister.

I wonder what happened to the listing.  It was scheduled to run until next Saturday.  I think it was a 10 day listing.  I has one bidder, but today it says the sale has been cancelled.  


When asked, the seller stated "it's sold".


 


Wonder if there would have been as much interest as there was for this one that finished at $325

I bought the Avacado one......

<span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;">for $325.  It is a fantastic machine.</span>


 


<span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;">I also was a bidder on the baby blue one.  The owner wrote that he had to cancel my bid because he wanted to have a "Buy it Now".</span>


 


<span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;">He added it and emailed me it was back on Ebay.  Before I cold get back to it it sold.</span>


 


<span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;">I believe it sold for $250.00.      DRAT!!!!!</span>

Congratulations.  


As I was watching that  one, at one point it had been bid up to $350, of which I was only partly amazed.  Then the next day, it's as if the person had cancelled their bid, and it was standing around $215 or so.  Then you must have stepped in and took it to the winning bid. 


 


It does look like a nice one.  Complete even with the manual.


 


Just out of curiosity, what would have been the most you would have bid that blue one to?

Probably.........

<span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;">Would have bid it $325.00-$350.00  It looked fabulous!</span>

You would have won it from me.  That was too much for my budget.  It was beautiful.
