Sacramento Craigslist FOR SALE: Kirby Model 511

[ronni]

A friend told me about this Craigslist ad in Sacramento for a Kirby Model 511. Thought I'd post it here as I am not a fan of Kirbys ...

Ad: 1951 Kirby Vacuum in original box! Works Great - $249
This is the "I Love Lucy Special" model #511. Check out the pictures. All original boxes, manual and accessories! Pretty rare to find all of this is great condition. From the Nifty 50's
Note: not at store. In Man Cave storage nearby. Thanks for the look!

Way too much money!

Nice and original, but not that rare. I saw a 509 in a similar condition in my area for $20. Someone is trying on CL to sell a Heritage I for $350! Another has a G4 for $850!

What the...........850 for a G4?

Geez, $850 for a G4??
*which I'm imagining coming equipped with tarnished castings, pet scent and mismatched parts*

I'd better hurry up and buy two before they realize what a good deal that is.
Doh.... Smithers, fetch me my coin purse!!
