- They will go at least as low as $800 if they really need to make the sale.
- These salesman have regular contests like: most units sold in
- November gets a trip to Hawaii. Wait till the end of the month
- to buy if you are considering it, and then play hard ball. Be
- prepared to say NO. These salesman are like car salesman. They
- will *sigh* and act disgusted at you offer; they will say, "let
- me call the manager", etc. They will use high-pressure tactics.
-
- Friends of ours bought one this way. They paid $800 and I'm sure
- that Kirby still made a nice profit. Its a good vacuum, but is
- it really worth the price? Dunno. Depends what your needs are.
- Make sure all attachments are included in the price.
-
- Some excellent vacuums with comparable functionality:
-
- 1) Amway's CMS 1000 $650 (money back guarantee if not satsified)
- 2) Kirby $800-$1500 (no one pays the same price; no guarantee)

- I have no experience with the Rainbow vacuum, but I hear it is good.
