    Dyson-- nothing but cheap flimsy plastic headed to the junk yard in a couple of years. Kirbys -- still going strong after more than 60 years. Nuff said.

    Expensive goodwill finds.

    Expensive finds You can always talk to the manager and make an offer. Most times they will dicker just to get rid of product. Next time try it. You got nothing to loose. Also, with Goodwill if you donate anything they will give you a 20% off coupon on your next purchase.
