I must be losing it! Or is it common for multiple good deals to come up in clusters. At least what are good deals for me, anyway.
But last week and this past weekend -- if it was on eBay and it said "Sanitronic" I pounced on it like a hungry lion! And, remember, I'm still new to this -- but is it normal in this hobby/passion/psychosis to set an alarm clock for some strange hour of the a.m., and doze in a chair until it goes off to prepare a snipe bid? If so, I'm in trouble... Oh, and don't talk to be about browsing. Red Classic, BIN $25, shipping $9.95 works - CLICK goes the mouse. Bagged that puppy.
I snickered at another club member for calling his vintage washers, dishwashers and the like -- his kids. Now I call these damn vacuum cleaners my kids! Kirby Kids! Is that sick or what?
It gets worse. I'm like a concerned adoptive parent with them now. I just hate the idea of families pulled apart -- so what do I do? Especially, since I've vowed to stay away from eBay for a FULL 10 minutes this time, I surf elsewhere. Diversify, right?
In a yahoo group, woman had posted a Kirby FOR SALE and lo 'n behold, my G3 was reunited with its twin sibling! Below is a pic of them standing together. Even though they look alike, they're not identical twins -- the latest one came with a shampoo kit. So they're fraternal.
Now just why in the hell would I want two G3's? I had asked the seller what model Kirby (it was not stated in her ad). When she replied G3, I wrote back saying I already had a G3, as well as a G4 in my two storey place. I went on to say "I just hate that the upstairs and downstairs vacuums don't match! Of course I'm interested!" (Or I'm a greedy little amateur?)
Turns out, it was her grandmothers. Great. Another grandmothers vacuum -- like the DS-80 that's en route. That one I've promised post-buff pictures to the seller!
Yup, this is getting out of hand, LOL...now, behold, my two Kirby G3's...like looking at two blocks of Tofu! Their attachment purses are not shown. Have those too! Geeze.
