back room vacs-You restore or use parts or I scrap

[maytag142c]

3 or 4 days drive? Do you drive 25mph? That would be like a 6-7 hour drive and it would be your choice to rent a uhaul. A car/SUV would do it for most as a uhaul would seem a bit excessive.
I understand why he doesn’t ship, if he’s giving stuff away for free or for small dollar amounts, and/or only charging shipping there’s the cost of the time for packing and fuel from going to where his stuff is located to the post office.

Time = money to any business owner

"He won't ship--"

Then why have I already packed & taped 2 boxes going 2 states away & found a box for parts going to Canada this morning?As well as needing to call for final arrangements of a vac going across country.As for a few attachments these could be in a few different places requiring extra time to find.Which is why I am sorting vacs & parts by model when time permits.
First of all I have a used book store with 1000s of books that is a full time job.I also do some vac sales,service & supplies such as the Sears/Panasonic UR that needed a cord & Dirt Devil service I had to do yesterday which can be another half to full time job.A job which I will let China & Mr Dyson do more of.EBay which I would love to be back on as with my full time EBay seller who became ill & died would be a full time job.Any EBay sellers here who want a commission on 1000s of items?!?Not to mention I am working out of 2 buildings 1 block apart which is 1 to many!
To clarity what I may have said before-If you are nearby or want a road trip to a nice part of the country put your shipping money in the gas tank and come pick & choose.Otherwise after we speak on phone(no EMail,no voice mail)and choose vacs & parts & I receive a reasonable price I can take items 1/2 mile to UPS(I may not always have time to pack)where you will pay packing,shipping & insurance as you choose.Or the dumpster,emptied daily, is across the parking lot & 3 scrap metal guys are standing by.

Rugsucker, hi I was wondering if you have any 12 amp Hoover Elite motors in your back room? Thank you.

 

[rugsucker]

Elite

Motors and fans have been used up from once common Elite customer service/repair.I will have some handles,cloth bags,bag compartments,hoods and possible cords but most of this will be second in dumpster,after Bissell,when I have extra time to to clear out.
Hoovers Elites were a good vac in their price range and I feel better than similar Eureka,Singer,etc.
