My latest thrift store find!

[msalisbury77]

I have always like those Electrolux uprights, very well designed machines. Fred, you did a great job cleaning it up, almost looks new!

Miss Asquith, are you really so stupid that you can't figure it out? Wait, you work in an Oreck store, only the dumbest of fucks would be so supid and desperate as to do that. I can actually work on real vacuums! HA! And Miss Nelson, I hope you get that dildo stuck up your ass!

...uh oh, competition

Several days ago I received a response to my "GE Roll-Easy vacuum wanted" ad on the RDU Craigslist site... I couldn't open that email fast enough, I had found a Roll-Easy!!!

NOT... it was just some guy asking me why I wanted one and how did I know what a Roll-Easy was, lol.

It was Fred

I was wondering where all those vacs on my mental 'wait n see' list were getting to lately, lol... usually they're still sitting there in a dusty corner of the thrift store when I come back for them in a few days.

Welcome to the neighborhood, Fred

...oh and btw

Fred, since you know how to repair vacs, you might be interested in this Epic on Craigslist

If the repair estimate she got was right (seems high?), there's another Epic listed right below it for $15 that you could cannibalize for the motor

Here's the url to that one

Hey there!

Glad to see you posting!
Thanks for the welcome to the neighborhood!!

I saw that Epic a few days ago, and e-mailed the seller... it's actually right in my neighborhood! I haven't heard anything back; just e-mailed them again.

I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Great to Discover Another!!

Fred,

So cool that you connected with "someone in the neighborhood." I bet you'll have alot of fun. Is Guy (vac-a-day) related to the Craig's list story you told me on the phone the other night?? Seems right!! Whatever ...

Enjoy!!

Pat

Hey Pat~

Yep, that's him!



And I got an email from the seller of the other Lux on Craigslist; the machine had already been sold.

Oh well, there will be more!
