These threads are huuuuge!

Prices are going crazy on some of these items - £250 for a Turbopower 2! - it might easily go over £300 as there are tons of people here that love them to death!


 


I think Hoover need to take a look at what they are selling now, and that people still want QUALITY bagged uprights, instead of all this bagless rubbish they make now.


 


I see that SEBO C3.1 making anything up to £500, and it would be worth every penny, as they were superb machines, which I liked better than the large and bulky D series that replaced them.


 


I also notice there aint much interest in the Dyson DC07, and DC14 - they are so common now I'm sick of seeing them to be honest.


It was because of Dyson, that companies like Hoover and Electrolux stopped making bagged uprights, which was a great pity. When will these companies get it into their thick heads that not everyone wants bagless!


 


The beautiful and superbly made Sebo C3.1 Power:

Steve, What do you think he DC14i will go for? I am interested in that. I may buy it. Just want other people's opinions as to what they think it will go for so I can be sure. £230 max or £250. A non clutched simple DC14, wouldnt pay more, there are like 200 on ebay refurbished for like £80+! Refurbished to a high standard

 

[madabouthoovers]

The DC14 is hard to say - they have only recently gone out of the shops, so not that collectable really. It would be worth paying £150 for it but not much more than that. They were in Argos not that long back for £199, so if you can get it for £150 then that's a good buy.


I wont be bidding on any of the Dysons listed, as I want the SEBO C3.1, and its gonna go VERY high, as its an early model.

 

[parwaz786]

Awesome! Thanks
Good luck on the Sebo, I hope you win the auction!
Best of luck
Tayyab

 

[madabouthoovers]

Tayyab, don't be disappointed if you don't win what you want - and don't get carried away! Only bid what you can afford. Having so many delicious vacs to choose from is top danger for our bank accounts and credit cards - ebay is so easy to overbid when you get in a bidding war, so keep your wits about you!

 

[madabouthoovers]

Well, I've just totted up the total bids so far on all the vacs, and it adds up to just under £1500, and that's as it currently stands.


Even the Dyson DC07 has now got a bid.


Perhaps the seller could add some more photos of the machines that are not doing well, or have no bids, as just a pic of a plain box is not helping their cause.

[parwaz786]

Wow! I am glad there is no interest in the DC14i. I am looking forwards to buying it, I am watching it and refreshing the auction in a new tab every once in a while

 

[parwaz786]

Tayyab, don't be disappointed if you don't win what

Thanks Steve for the advice, just in case we don't win the auction for the DC14i, I will either get a brand new DC14 Blitz it for £190 on eBay or a second hand Blitz it.
There is also a DC07 Allergy in purple and green with a blown motor, but included a brand new Cyclone assembly, 2X brand new bins with the green flaps, a brand new purple and green soleplate and a brand new silver dusting brush. All this is for £25.

 

[madabouthoovers]

Well, Tayyab, if you have set a max bid of £150 on the DC14, it stands a good chance you might get it, as there are so many DC14's on ebay at the moment, and this one has no clutch so is no good for hard floors which will limit its buyers - had you realised this?

 

[parwaz786]

Yes, I know it's non clutched I don't mine but all of my Dysons are non clutched, but They clean so well. The brushbar is good and whenever the belt gets stretched out, it's much simpler to replace the big belts in the non clutched models than find a special small clutch belt and take the bloody clutch apart, etc or pay £10 for a new clutch! That's just ridiculous.

Thank you Steve for the help and advice so far

 

[parwaz786]

Just realised the DC14 Blitz it is now £170 with the tools, flexi crevice tool, up top tool, and the stubborn dirt brush + a spare filter!
Ooh, so hard to choose.

 

[madabouthoovers]

Well, I'd still bid  £100 on the DC14 on CEEJAY, if you don't get it for £100 then you can buy the blitz it model.


Bid soon, or they might sell it via the back door and you will lose it.

 

[parwaz786]

I think I change my mind, I may either buy the new DC14i and that Dc07 with new parts, or a brand new DC44 and a used DC14 :/ I am soo annoyed

 

[madabouthoovers]

I don't think you will ever make your mind up will you Mr Parwaz?

 

[parwaz786]

Lol I don't know, but let's see. I may end up with the DC44 to be honest.

 

[madabouthoovers]

And after all this, I bet you end up with something like a GTECH Air Ram lol

 

[parwaz786]

No LOL I hate that vacuum.
It's Dyson for me all the way
Along with Henry and Kirby

 

[madabouthoovers]

Well, whats the vac in your profile picture Mr Parwaz - its not a Dyson, Henry, nor a Kirby? Perhaps you might change it to one of a Dyson DC14, seeing as that's your favourite vac? Or even a picture of you!

 

[parwaz786]

I guess so, Thanks!

 

[madabouthoovers]

No picture of you then Mr Parwaz? Well, I suppose a DC14 will do, seeing as you do worship them (lol)

 

[parwaz786]

No no not at all, I have a religion
I like DC14's though

 

[madabouthoovers]

I was joking about worshipping the DC14 Tayyab - I presume you are a Muslim, so you may not have seen the funny side of that. I apologise if this was the case

 

[parwaz786]

Lol How did you know?
Dont worry, I know you were joking

 

[madabouthoovers]

Because Tayyab Parwaz sounds like a Muslim name, and I used to live in Wolverhampton, Handsworth, and also in Preston, where there were a lot of Muslims.

 

[parwaz786]

Yes, true
I agree about the location thing aswell, I think there are most in the West midlands and Lancashire area
