VERDICT
Worth pursuing at the right price.
Unsold listings cluster near CA$250 — that is the ceiling, not the market. Buy only at or below CA$175.
Item & condition
| Model | Dyson V8 (exact sub-model to confirm) |
|---|---|
| Condition | Used, working, complete accessories |
| Known issues | None reported — verify battery runtime in person |
| Region | Vancouver / Richmond / Burnaby |
| Not confirmed | Battery health, filter age |
Evidence
- THINeBay sold reference, median ≈ CA$228 (converted) — small sample, treat as a starting point, not a verdict.
- OBSERVEDMarketplace asking prices cluster CA$100–250; listings still unsold near CA$250 act as the ceiling.
- METHODQuick-sale reference = min(eBay median × 0.8, ceiling × 0.7) = CA$175.
Why this range
The ceiling comes from listings that are still sitting unsold — CA$250 is what sellers hope for, not what buyers pay. The eBay sold median (CA$228) says completed sales land well below the asking cluster. The quick-sale line at CA$175 is where this item moves fast locally. Paying above CA$200 means paying retail optimism.
What to do
NEGOTIATION DRAFT — COPY, ADAPT, SEND YOURSELF
Hi, I am interested in the V8. Similar ones have sold around $150–175 recently — would you take $140? I can pick up today and pay cash.
Pre-pickup checklist
- Run it on max mode for 2 minutes — battery should hold.
- Check all listed attachments are in the box.
- Smell the bin and filter — heavy odor means neglected maintenance.
- Confirm it is a genuine Dyson (label under the bin), not a clone.
