I bet there's less than 20 bidders.

It only needs two who want it.

Actually, two people who have seen it on fleabay have rolled in the shop for a look at it. Both ended up there ages musing about the other stuff in the display bit, fawning over the G-Force, etc.

Its surprising how knowledgeable people are. One bloke glanced at the DC01's, pointed to one, and declared, "That's a Chippenham built one", and then went "Ooh, a Recyclone look......"

I would say ive been collecting for 10 years or so, and it was only the year before last I learnt what a Recyclone was,,,then ended up with 3!!!

Im not sure i'd know where they were built just by looking at them but some people like to know every single detail. The more info the better...

I'm one of those people

Can tell by looking at the plastic colour, logo style, little details etc

If a DC25 for example has the ask Dyson sticker with yellow on it, most likely it has a grey cable because they are early DC25's

Of if a DC14 has a coloured end cap and weirdly thin moulded cyclone release catch it's also early and has shinier plastic

Blimey, I saw it end at £260, refreshed my phone and £900!! Happy or does it still owe you? Helps you value the other one anyway!

Yes, it did £890 (less 13% fees and shipping). It is going to the United States.

Kleeneze Rotork Cyclon (Prototype Dyson) For Sale.

As some will know, I came by this as part of a collection. So whatever I can get back from the machines I don't need, makes the ones I do keep a bit cheaper.

So it sounds a lot of money, but in relation to what I paid for the collection, it really isn't. Plus the last Cyclon I saw sold did over a grand (in slightly better condition). So that value is probably about right. I'm happy enough with what it brought. But I took the risk of letting it run with no reserve, so it could have gone either way.

The Rotork arrived at its new home in the US a few days ago, in one piece, and has a related bedfellow that is also a rarity in the US.

I am not sure what the machine on the right is.

Americans always have cool old old vacs, it doesnt look Hoover to me.

I didnt know toy dc01s were rare in the us!

Isn't that a real one with a few balls inside?

beko1987 · « **Reply #25 on:** April 18, 2016, 06:18:23 pm »

yes, I see that now...

not a bad idea if you have a toy one too!

Not sure what it is on the right, thought it was a very early Hoover at first but not sure now.

MVacs · « **Reply #27 on:** October 30, 2016, 05:11:45 pm »

Another one of these has just sold on eBay for £501 plus delivery. Which is actually quite cheap I think.

I had a £496 bid on it just in case nobody had noticed it........

I was surprised it only went for that tbh. Looked clean and complete

Maybe he did not enable US shipping properly. Plus ours had exposure on ours and other platforms so had a wider reach perhaps. And we did a video for ours so people could see better what they were getting.
