    goodwill was good to me

    Wow! Not to shabby at all!!! Just wish the Goodwill stores in this area had vacs like that. I stay away from the Goodwill now beacuse of price, and the fact they RARELY have vacs and when they do, they are newer ones with a hefty price tag. Congrats on a great find!
