huskyvacs,
To help all better understand this let me add-
I have had a vac store for 30plus years after working for Electrolux as well as having a long time interest in vacs as most here have had.I have had the bookstore (1 block away in the center of our small town) for 6plus years after having books in antique mall booths as well as having always read(starting with Tom Sawyer & Huck Finn)and collecting books.
I still have long time customers with 'real' vacs that take some of my time.I hope to never rebuild another motor or see another Dyson with clutch or Shark.I will use my Mo G with 4 ply self sealing bag and if the rest of the world wants to dump dry dust out of a bucket and hunt and clean filters they may.I could back up a dumpster and have someone with no vac knowledge 'throw away all upright vacs'.But here that would include AirWay Dirtmaster and Hover 825 and more that would require more time I don't have or as I have asked for any collector who may want a rare vac.
I do want to downsize and continue the bookstore as well as downsize the vacs to a personal collection.Yesterday book customers asked for dictionarys,books on southwest,local books,childrens books,mysteries set in Europe and more that I had and they purchased.I am using a Mo G but would also like to service and use my Roll Easy,Hoover Mo 65 with original deluxe attachmant set and others.
As to adding things that is the way of used bookstores.I may have enough of some books and not have books on beekeeping or Foxfire books or others that are frequently asked for.I don't think I have added 6 vacs in the last year.One was a NICE 1952 Eureka upright.If I drive down the street and see the Retrovac being discussed recently at a yard sale I will stop.
As for retiring would that mean I stop reading or vacuuming the floor?People who do something they like or understand seem to not really 'retire'.
