hopester:

are the blue royal attachments seen in picture #I (capital "i") still available? if you have the crevice tool and brush too that would be great (i see a brush in pic #9). And would you be able to get a shipping estimate to US zip code 22182 if they are? Thanks!

post from hopester

will get back with every one in a few, my internet has been down all day, sorry guys.Here are some more pics, this might give you some idea of what I'm working with, and it's just me trying to make things come together. This is not my house were all this stuff is. When I became homeless some good friends let me put all this here, but now we are dealing with code enforcement and my storage is full, and the bill is still due. So please, everything needs to go. I hope I can ask for more time. Hopester


More pics.

Let me first say that my name is Hope Isleman. I have been reparing vacuums since I was 23 years old. I have been on my own since I was 14 years old. I have one daughter, who is 30 years old, and 5 grand children. Just thought I tell you a little about my self. I ran the Kirby Service Center In Ontario Ca. for 15 years. The owner wanted to retire, so he gave me every thing in the shop. The shop had been open for 38 years. Soon after I bought a storage unit that belonged to a distributor. Then I worked for a man that had been the top Kirby sales and top sales and distributor for years. I also did repairs for Bob Harr owner of Kirby of Redlands until he passed.

So what I am trying to say is Kirbykid that you could open your own small repair shop, with all the stuff I have. I will pull it all out for you and take some pitchers for you. I will ask for $1000.00 for every thing, think about it. I will also say that it would be best to rent a U-Haul and have a friend, yours, mine, along with me to deliver them to you. I will also say to you that I will teach you all I know, through emails or web-cam. You have my word on that. Peace Out for now get back with me after you talk with your parents. Please let them read all of this thread. Hopester

how would i store all those kirbies without them geting damaged or paying 250 a month. and ontop of school. and im only thirteen. i could probably make the $1000 by the end of this year with christmas and the deli. the deli is where i work. make about $500 a week if my parents are working full time and i need the cash. but i have school and i need to get ready for school. so the next couple of weeks i cant work and if so, off and on. do you think you could store it all for that long?
 
Regina's, etc

I emailed you earlier, but I figured you may see this before that. Do you have any regina housekeepers (color doesnt matter)or spare attachments? I would also be interested in hoover single or twin screw type brush strips or burushrolls. Thanks you!
