Help Support VacuumLand:

Nothing is decided yet.

Just more an offer to help us value and sort and then we can sell through here/eBay/privately.

I would've sold the dc02 de stijle for peanuts a few weeks ago! I'm sure you guys would seek advice if you were in the same situation. Though I've put some of the best bits on this weekend.
 
It looks like someone rich has gone down there and flashed his wallet and his flashy Audi Convertible. As I said earlier, money talks

Can you please reserve me a Dyson DC07 Animal or a DC14 Animal please? Brand new sealed in the box.
 
When you tell us you have been "approached by a collector", to "help" value these cleaners - this sets alarm bells ringing. There are some greedy and selfish members here that get a kick out of flashing their wealth in front of us, and do us out of the chance to buy vacuums. This has happened to me before on ebay, when V6JME who goes by the seller ID "sealsseals" on ebay, messaged a seller to end the auction early so he could use his wealth to buy the vac I wanted, outside the auction, then came on boasting about it later. I was absolutely fuming about it.


 


Why come on here, getting peoples hopes up, then come on later, saying " I have been instructed by Gareth<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> to cease listing as he has been approached<span style="font-size: large;"> by a collector</span></span> who has offered to survey and value the cleaners and<span style="font-size: large; text-decoration: underline;"> use the contacts he has</span>",  due to some collector who has now "appeared" on the scene. Surely you should have thought about this before coming on a vacuum enthusiasts website, telling us all about these wonderful cleaners. People here are very disappointed by your actions.

I think the seller has jumped the gun, before "Gareth" has fully decided how he wanted to sell these vacs. What has most likely happened is that a collector, or dealer has seen these vacs and gone down there sniffing about trying to get the lot for himself, or people he knows. If these vacs owe Cee Jay a lot of money, then Gareth has had to take the option that yields the most money, rather than sell them to us on ebay.


Its a disappointment, but unfortunately that's the way the cookie crumbles.
 
I will stop posting on here if it is causing problems. My intention was not to boast. I was led here by you guys contacting me via eBay.

I was merely trying to give you the heads up. The collecter has offered his time free if charge to come and help us sort out what cleaners we have and mentioned tho option of a private sale. That is all. I have had a number of messages and offers and until it is decided what is happening I cannot consider them. Not replying is rude and I figured I'd just let everyone know what was happening.

That I have been on your side is ironic as I am now being criticised for updating. Would it have been better just to ignore everyone?

When. I first came on here I had no idea what the cleaners were worth. You will see from the Vax's I sold and other cleaner they were being sold as clearance at discount prices. I guess I got swept up in the excitement and apologise if I have upset anyone.

Hi newoldcleaners, my name is Robert and I am the owner and administrator of Vacuumland. Please feel free to continue posting links to your auctions, I would completely ignore any comment that is critical or any other nonsense. Getting the word out is very important. There are hundreds of people reading this that are not posting, but might very well be interesed in some of the things you are selling as well. If you have any issues you can email me privately.

Thank you again.
 
Cee Jay, you might aswell just post pics on VL and sell here because we are the most enthusiastic, we shown an interest first as vacuum fans, and also you wont get eBay fees! and First come first serve is most fair. It will benefit both you and us.

We really want these, it's like a teenager after the PS4 with the COD and Fifa 14.

I am a Dyson fan, I loved Dyson because my parents had a DC01 when I was born. I grew up with it. I love Dyson so much, even if they are crap (they are not) how would you feel if you were like me and you found a brand new discontinued Dyson that you have your heart set on and then discover that it's no longer for sale even though it's what you were interested in first before anybody?

Please sell here as it's totally fair. The hydrocarbons in the OLD vacuum are old. This means the vacuum will be more brittle in comparison to the vacuums today which everybody wants to buy (I.e Dyson DC41's and Vax Air 3's)
Please, even the other collectors will agree with me, right?

We are really grateful you are offering the vacuums to us. We are trusting you with respect :)
BEst wishes mate
 
Newold...

I think any potential offended parties are the type who are not going to bid anyway. I would not be at all concerned.

All the brand-new cleaners will have a resale value, if only from people who wish to buy a cleaner to use at their home. All of your stock has to be worth at least £40 each as a useable item.

I hope you do well from your auctions.
 
we just want to know what's happening With the vacuum cleaner We're sorry if we've make you feel Like You're causing problems But you not I think everyone Thinks you're selling them off eBay we just want to know when You're putting the other vacuum cleaners on eBay Like the vacuum You showed in the pictures So please don't stop Posting on here
