When things like that appear at those prices, I believe the person who is 'selling' it, listed it just to show off. There are a number of young people who are into Fantom vacuums, and perhaps this seller thinks they'll empty their piggy banks, and beg Mom to mortgage the house so they can get a "wildcat". While I used to think the Regina Housekeeper was the worst vacuum ever made, the Wildcat really takes that honor. There was no way for the consumer to clean the brush roller or even get into the brush area. They tipped over all the time, falling backwards, and breaking the handle. I remember a Wildcat purchased by a salon, back when I had my shop and I was a Fantom warranty center. They didn't have it a week before it was in for service. Within three weeks, it was dead, broken, and destroyed. I sold them a commercial Riccar and remember the joy I felt taking the sledge hammer to the Wildcat as I threw it into the dumpster.
