Hi Venson, the market sets the prices, Your Kirby was bought at less than 50 lot wholesale from kirby,that was a great price you got,although its not very uncommon now,a lot of distributors are bailing out and just selling their inventory for WHAT THEY CAN GET, A  lot of manufactures and dealers are having FIRE SALES,if you have the CASH, they will bend to your price,if not someone else will,

As you may have heard the dtd brands cant even get people financed because all the credit lending companies are either bust or dont do business with them anymore,all the lifelines have been cut off.

Times are a changing,back to the way business use to be done,no more smoke and mirror shows.

Would you buy a vacuum cleaner from Carmine?[If you did not know it was him]  talk about a loaded question,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Hi Carmine, D.I.B., H.S.

Since where we are doing a little soul searching,

QUESTION, for the forum members to answer,dealers ,non dealers , wholesalers,distributors, vac people non vac people.repair guys and sales people,industry bean counters ETC.

If a customer comes into your place of business and wants an upright and has 700+ to spend on a cleaner,
You sell and stock MIELE, RICCAR,SEBO,DYSON, LINDHAUS,SIMPLICITY, HOOVER, SANITAIRE,ORECK
Would you sell them the vacuum that has the most profit in it or the right one that they need?[and feel a lot better with yourself] knowing you did RIGHT BY THE CUSTOMER,

MOLE

Like it or not,DYSON took away ORECKS play book and did the same type advertising and HYPE campain,lets face it it worked,Orecks still around and Dyson is still around,

Where else but in the U.S.A. can you sell a 50 dollar vacuum for 5 and 6 hundred,NO WONDER WHY DAVID ORECK AND DYSON ALWAYS HAVE A SMILE ON THEIR FACES.

SO LONG SUCKERS................
