very unusual older vac, what is this???

[mihi]

I've never seen a vac quite like this. It's a typically Hoover soft-bag look, but with a hard bag.

Anyone know what it is and what it might be worth? They're asking a lot, to much really for my blood, and I'm no where near them anyway.

That looks like a doll house vacuum.

That's a desk-toy vac - it plugs into the USB-port of a computer. For, $175 has to be a joke listing!

I have 2 of them, and Charles Richard Lester has one and has uploaded videos of it on YouTube.

Total Scam

It's not a doll house vacuum, and its not even old. I've seen those all over UK
Ebay for just a few Pounds.

This bottom feeder is deliberately trying to make it look like a real vacuum by posing it on a novelty mouse pad that looks like a Persian rug.

I've already flagged it as "prohibited" since deliberate misrepresentation with the intent to defraud must certainly be against Craigslist's terms of service. We should all do the same until the posting is removed.

Exactly. I agree we should all flag it. This clearly is a scam.

[charles~richard]

Well, mine actually works -- and, amazingly enough, actually picks up!
