Actually, I did.
Instead of eBay, I got one for even less $$$ via best-vacuum.com. They're located in Chicago and are listed on Dyson's site in their "Where to Buy" section. I got a refurbished Animal DC14 for $399 out the door with free shipping and no sales tax (since I'm not in IL). I ordered it last Thursday and it was delivered on Friday when I was home at lunchtime! Talk about fast! The mfr. refurbished ones come with a 6-month warranty from Dyson (instead of 2 years if it's not refurbed).
