Well,
it's excessive for my budget. But I suppose if someone wants it and has the money for it, far be it from me to object!
It -would- be a bit more tempting if it didn't have that huge plug on it.
And is the Royal Special the same as the Hoover Special - e.g., a rebuilt machine?

Excessive for ANYONE'S Budget!!!
There's NO vacuum that I want to add to my collection THAT bad. And that's the "starting" bid? I'll bet he don't get a nibble!

I remember sometime last year there was a Hoover 105(?) in very poor condition that someone had listed starting at $5000, and on the UK eBay, a Junior 370, again in poor condition starting at £500...some people really need to do the research before listing an item!

they'll find out...
... when no one bids. I used to write "are you out of your mind?!" messages to these types of sellers but they just get mad - don't really want to hear it and usually make some lame retort like, "I'll have you know the Smithsonian is interested in this fine priceless antique and has offered me a thousand bucks for it."
After they have to pay the high listing fee and don't get any bids, they'll get it.

Always an exception to the rule...
There's a Model 750 which has been listed continuously for at least a year now, with a starting price of $289...never gotten a single bid, and the seller has never seen fit to lower the start price...I'd hate to think how much they've had to pay in listing fees...

INFLATED ROYAL?
Well, to quote my uncle, "Man, that guy is REALLY PROUD of that machine!" He will probably remain 'proud' AND its owner!!
