It was described as "Dyson ball motor works ok has accessories infrequent suction spares or repair.

important - Don't expect a shop condition dyson it's worn, marked, scuffed, dirty.

NO RETURNS ACCEPTED - SOLD AS SEEN!!! "

It couldn't suck the skin off a rice pudding, but the brush motor is working  :bow:

I think they have been decorating !!

Duly done.

Good buy for twenty quid even though it needs a few hours work on it.

Nice find!

it must be the DC25 season too, must be coming of age!

Had one in for a refurb on Monday, at the 'putting it back together' stage now
Got one coming in tonight with a 'dead brushroll', will commence the troubleshooting on that. She mentioned it stunk of dog too, so once working I'll try and sell in a full refurb on that!
Had someone else want a fll refurb too but they haven't come back to me yet
