Vintage eBay thread #1

hoovercelebrity · Sep 22, 2011

Okay, so recently there has been some discussion about the amount of threads that are created on Vacuumland which link directly to eBay. In fact, the board discussed it during our board meeting at the convention last week. Our long-term solution to the "For Sale/eBay" threads will be to create a new, 5th forum, solely dedicated to such topics. But that's going to be a bit of work -- creating artwork, choosing new colors for the forums, adding a button to the homepage, etc...

The short-term solution to this is going to be this thread. There will also be one in the modern forum.

Any and all links to anything VINTAGE vacuum-related on eBay need to be posted in this thread. Once it gets too long, or too old, I will close it and start a new one. Keep in mind, with this thread now going, if you start a new thread with a link to an eBay auction, I will DELETE it (I don't mean close it, I mean DELETE it).

So, here we go! Let me know if you have any questions!

I'll start things off by linking to an auction for a very nice-looking Concept 1:

What a fantastic Idea, Fred!

I agree! This will be very convenient! Thanks

Thanks

Fred. This is going to work fine when up and running. This is just another act of consideration you and the board do for our club. Keep up the good work.

Should the back and forth discussion of such posted ebay items be curtailed as well? Otherwise the items posted are going to get buried.. What I'm saying is... you post your link and if for example it's your vac you're selling,, you post everything about it etc etc into that one post.. if anyone has questions they can email you privately... not have a volley of back and forths? Much the way is happening right now with me posting this..

This is a great idea, Fred!

It will definitely clean up the forums.

So when you make the new forums, is it just one place for ALL ages of vacs, or is there going to be a subforum for ebay listings that are vintage, and a subforum for listing that are newer?

Sorry if that was confusing. :/

Fred, I think this is a great idea as well. I like to look at ebay listings but often don't have the time. With the new forum it will be so easy with all of them in one place. Thanks so much for all of your hard work.

Those eurekas have always fascinated me. That one is a little pricy considering its condition but they are decent cleaners so I hear- especially for hard floor cleaning.
