It's really been lots of fun reading the chronicles of this great adventure.
I hope any comments I may have made now or in the past has not fueled any misgivings about posting eBay auctions in Vacuumland. If that is the case I am indeed sorry.
I did say that I no longer feel the way I used to about it, and said that I don't see any reason why people can't post links to their own listings. I did also say that I didn't see any reason why people would post links to other people's auctions, but that was not to say I presumed to decree that they should not do so. I just didn't -- and still don't -- understand why they would do so.
I wish you well with your endeavor and hope everyone finds something they can enjoy having. For myself, I have stopped acquiring any further vacuum cleaners and indeed am going to dispose of the bulk of my collection, as you plan to do, via eBay, keeping only the machines that really mean the most to me. I have had to dismantle and dispose of my workshop and storage space.
Since I no longer have a place to work on machines and to store them, what's the point in hanging on to such an extensive collection? It's just become a burden, and, as such, the joy of having them has dissipated.
