Would whoever bought!

Very briefly-
Kevin makes many good points on how a human being can speak of another.
As to HIGH auction prices whether it is the Friday night auction down the street from my store or nationwide such as EBay an item only gets the high bid if more than one person has a serious interest in owning what is,or is to them,a rare and desirable item.Should we complain and condemn bidder no 2 & 3 & 4 or how many might have seen what we would know to be a rare piece of literature on a little known vac??

The McAllister instruction manual will most likely never show up again. There were very few made.

The way the person who won the auction was to make a 'robobidder' bid of $1000. It makes no difference to him what the ultimate price is after every one else bids. He can afford to pay $1000 for an instruction manual.

The problem is that it will NEVER be shared with anyone. The winning bidder (miss pupek) has no desire to share with any other collectors. That's his prerogative.
I personally find that very distasteful. I share EVERYTHING in my collection of 658 machines with Vacuum Cleaner Museum visitors. Literature, machines, owners books, everything.

I'm sure

He would be more than willing to share the info if you would ask nicely. I bet another one shows up in the next month.

Jaker15,


 


You would be incorrect. Pupek has never shared anything other than his opinion with anyone, and never will. He is a hoarder and a jealous one with the financial resources to indulge his desire to have things that nobody else can get. It appears to make him feel superior in his misery.

I bet NO ONE!

Has ever seen another one!!!!It doesent really matter,this really has gotten out of hand, I asked nicely if someone who bought something would publish it...I had no clue who bought it, but if I had I wouldnt have asked because I knew what I would get..SILENCE!!!

sharing

While I am tired of negative comments(real or imagined)that were added to what started as a simple remark that seems to have had no disrespect intended I am only one of many that can agree from personal experience that Tom does share vacs,parts and information as stated above.

 

[kenkart]

Amen to that!

Jimmy, and I have swapped and traded a few machines with you also!
