Holy smokes! I looked at it, knew what it was, and thought I could never ever afford it, and never looked again until just now. That guy had a baby model hoover with all attachments and a hoover duster too and people caught on to those in just a matter of hours so I figured people would figure this out too.
 
So guess it was a good deal?

LOL

Saw the baby one with the dusters
think he had 2 that had dusters with them

I look but don't have the real old vac bug...

Good thing

LOL
 
"I look but don't have the real old vac bug..."


I sure do. Once you get a good dose of really well polished aluminum you just can't go back to painted metal or plastic.
 
Wow no electric
its like one of them old roller sweepers?

I go like polished aluminum
but old electrical things really should be all rewired

Wow, that was pretty cool, though I am going to havae to stop with the vacs until some of these leave

I'm litertally tripping on vacs
 
Now that is weird having no bids. Next thing there'll be another one up for bids and getting bids all over. I've had similar happen to me once. One bid on my item then a month later the exact same thing in much worse conditon with 5 bidders when mine was in primo shape.
 
I was counting down the last 10 min to a bid Sunday morn
then the auction was over
Two by same seller
he pulled them at 8 min to end w no bids

$10 vac & $1 access

I was so disappointed
I had a bid ready to go in

I emailed him
no response

Auctions say ended early because of error

He just didn't want to sell them for that price

Still even if I had a bid in a seller can end an auction early but I thought it had to be least 12 hours

Not the first time I;ve seen it
 
That's really wacked --- seller is forgetting that a lot of ebayers, especially those with any experience at all with "mee-too" bidders, do usually snipe or bid at the last minutes of an auction.
 
What was that sellers feedback rating? Like Charles said, he must not know how snippers work.

Now, I have looked over a lot of Kirby stuff and that Sears vacuum looks different than vacuettes I have seen. Any ideas here?
 
Oh, I know what he did
He knows with 401 ratings
He has 100 % & he just relisted his erroneous listing
so he better be sure that he took care of that :"error"

I don't think Ebay likes seller pulling auctions in last minutes so that it doesn't sell cheap..,

Still many do wait
could be only one
but if you have 2 people who want it
could be a last 30 sec bid war
 
Ok, I've been looking this thing over real close and it does not say Scott & Fetzer but instead credits the manufacturer as being the Standard Vacuum Cleaner MFG Co. I did a bit of research and found a web page with a Sears cleaner that looks just like a vacuette but has the same manufacturer. So, whats the deal here? It looks so simmilar in so many ways (more like a friction drive sanitation system actualy) there must be some affiliation with Scott & Fetzer but the actual name never shows up anywhere. Was it produced under licence or something?

If you saw the recently listed Sears machine at a different angle, you'd realize it's the same machine as the "Improved Vacuette."
