TURBOPOWER

VacuumLand – Vintage & Modern Vacuum Enthusiasts

Help Support VacuumLand:

Some will be worth more than others, but the Purepower Bigfoot and the Turbopower 2 models will be very popular. The U2462 is older than the U2107, and I'd imagine the U2017 has no bag full light.
 
No, that was citron I said that too.
I do have things to spend my money on than a vacuum and for 300 quid I could buy something modern which is far superior to a Turbopower 2...

Doesn't stop me wanting it, however.
 
I'd like the U2462, the Vortex and the Purepower Bigfoot myself and will be bidding on them - I've no doubt I wont get them, but at least this way, everyone has a fair crack at the whip. These vacs don't come up every day, and its only right that all collectors get an equal chance to bid for them.
 
But at the end of the day it is only down to the highest paying bidder is that fair?
If I really wanted to I could tell everyone hear I am going to bid £1000 would anyone top that? Most unlikely so why bother trying? (That was an example by the way I am not actually going to do that! Lol)
 
The thing is, Alex, this auctions will sort out who REALLY wants these cleaners. They are only worth what people are prepared to pay. If someone is prepared to pay £1000 for one, then they must really want it. Don't forget, people like Roger, Chester Mike and RyRy87 are gonna be interested in some of these vacs - real vacuum enthusiasts - but only one can win each item at the end of the day, and yes, its all down to money - but not even a millionaire will waste more money than necessary on a vac.
 
So if I have no money that automatically means I don't really want it?

I don't understand this business of "it is only worth what people are willing to pay" not really true, the man with no money will want it just as much as the man with all the money which leads to another point, it would be pretty funny if a non collector bought these old cleaners because of couse anyone is able to buy on eBay.

I bet the seller of these cleaners are lauging their ar*e off, they will be rolling in it.
 
Well - that's the result of saving back new items for years - they become collectible and highly desireable when no-one else has any left to sell. Even more so as these are still boxed, all be it the boxes are a bit battered.


This is a capitalist society Alex and unfortunately you cant get a highly desirable item for a small price. You have to be prepared to sacrifice a large amount of money if there are many people that also want the same item. The price it sells for will be proportional to its rarity and desirability.
 
Sadly some people have more money than others, it's how things work sadly.

Personally I think spending anything morethan £40 is a bit nuts, let alone the £60 odd quid one of the tp2s is going for, or the £100 DC04 is at, but hey, someone will bebloody excited somewhere (hopefully, good point about average joe buying the tp2, unpacking it then smashing it into the sofa a few times...)

I should imagine the sellers are exstatic about this, they are supplying a demand, nothing more. I wish the tat I had in the garage would attract such attention!
