Seller: Incredivac on ebay

[s2_82]

Hey guys just curious, has anybody dealt with ebay seller Incredivac?

I've asked the seller questions regarding a vac and seems pretty vague in his responses despite a 99.5% rating. Has anybody done business with this seller?

Looks the same stuff you can get from Steel City or Essco .
It appears to be a pretty big seller. Why not just order what you need from a normal distributor? The prices aren't any better .

Good point alex, but he sells aerus vacuums for much less than I've heard quoted

Steve, if that's true he is selling Aerus vacuums for signifigantly less than you have heard quoted elsewhere, don't just walk - RUN!! Don't do business with him, PERIOD! If his prices are THAT much lower, I would question where he is sourcing the vacuums from & if he is meeting his contractual obligations with Aerus selling the vacuums at those prices. Chances are, you could be buying from a unauthorized source or left with a worthless contract & warranty.

Thanks Rob, very true..yet then again no premium vacuum that you buy online (ebay especially) will have a valid contract/ warranty..

He claims that he received them as "gifts" which he has no need for and selling them brand new in an unopened box, which he has no pictures of other than a picture that looks like is taken from the vacuum museum..

Something just seems off.. he sells generic attachment sets for brand new uprights. I've never owned an aerus/electrolux product but I do know what the originals look like thanks to this great site.

Another thing, he sells the same machine at different price points.. which seems odd, especially for all of them being "brand new".

When I questioned it, I never got a response. As tempted as I am, I still think I might avoid buying from him.

@s2_82 I would use them as leverage if you were trying to buy a new Electrolux.
I bet you if you call around your area you'll find a dealer who will match that pricing. looking at their page those prices aren't far off the street price I hear that people are paying for these things from an Electrolux door to door guy.

My personal opinion about any of the door to door vacuums is wait for a nice one in the 2nd hand Market.

The seller looks like they are a wholesaler, they buy pallets of bulk freight and sell it as discount. The fact that they don't know much about an item lends to this possibility, also the fact their inventory might be in off-site storage and not handy for them to go get it and look at it to answer your question.

The seller's bad feedback is only from shipping mishaps, he doesn't have any for bad products. However, I did a reverse image search on their eBay profile picture, it traces back to a cleaning supply store in Long Beach, NY which has a few bad reviews between Google and Yelp users.

I guess it closed down in 2013 and is now under a new building, new name, and new address next door. Still bad reviews.
