One more thing

I don't care if they're broken or in very poor condition
I just want these

 

[dysonman1]

"preferrably free"

Get in line. Who wouldn't take a model 0 Hoover for free? You're going to have to cough up a LOT of money for many of the machines you want.

 

[KirbyCollector01]

I know

Free for the ones that aren't that rare
And I'll save up for rare ones like the model 0, model 1, etc

 

[rainbowd4]

Good luck with all that.

 

[KirbyCollector01]

Thank you RainbowD4

To be honest you're never going to get some of these. I'm not trying to be rude here...it's just the plain truth. Tom has been looking for a Model O Hoover for years for his museum and has had no luck.
Best of luck to you

Ihave a

Wireless Vacuette If I can find it.....

 

[KirbyCollector01]

Kenkart
Let me know when you find it

I agree with Andy

I can promise you that you cannot get some of the machines on your list. Plus if someone did had a machine that is on your list that is willing to give to you for free but is not around in your area, you would have to pay shipping. I used to have a 560, I got rid of it because that thing had seen the end of it's life after suffering from the basement flood from the previous owner's house. To be honest, I would have no problem giving it to you for free if I still had it but here's your problem, you would have to pay about $65 for me to ship it to you.

Otherwise, best of luck to you.

If you can get to St. James, Missouri

I have a mezzanine filled with machines, many on your list, waiting to go to another home. I'll give you some of them. The cavet is you must come get them. You can see the Vacuum Cleaner Museum while you are here (and what collector wouldn't want to visit a vacuum museum?). Talk to your parents about bringing you at Convention time, second weekend in June.

 

[KirbyCollector01]

Where is the convention ?

 

[vacuumlad1650]

Since we're putting out wish lists I might as well post mine...
I want a million bucks in large bills, but odds are that's not happening!

What he said ^^^^

Why're you guys being so rude?

This is a forum for people to share their love of vacuums, including things they're looking for.
Yes, Thomas's list is indeed one of rare vacuums. Do you need to treat the situation like you're the "mean girls" in high school? Considering most of you have not even entered high school yet?

No.

Be the bigger person. Tom at the very least offered to gift some if Thomas were to go get them. That is a generous gesture.

Learn from this young guys. Karma's a bitch.
I know i'd much rather see my Hoover Model O go to someone like Thomas who expresses actual interest in it over people who taunt collectors for piping up that they're looking for one.

 

[vacerator]

Yes Kyle,

you're fine. Don't take anything personal. We're all opinionated.
I remember you on the Ellen show. You were about 11?
Your folks raised you well, and you have a good education.
Best wishes, and much success.

 

[myvacsrock]

I do take it personally though.

We are a small community of people who understand how one another think.
We are the only people who truly understand WHY each of us collect and love vacuums. There's no need to take a small community, and divide it. Who cares if someone wants something rare? We all do. I get it. But in the end, they're vacuum cleaners, and there are plenty to go around for all of us.

Thomas

The convention is the second weekend in June, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. At the Vacuum Cleaner Museum in St. James, Missouri. It's always fun and a real learning experience. The only cost to you is for your hotel room (approx. $60 per night). No 'convention fees', no 'banquet' costs, just your hotel room and whatever you eat at the buffet restaurants we all go to. There is always approximately 50 other collectors, who share your passion, and can answer questions you might have.

I put the duplicate machines upstairs in the mezzanine section. There are probably 10 Electrolux cleaners, along with Kirby, Rexair, Hoover, etc. (I have a pristine duplicate 115 for example). You are welcome to pick out the ones you're interested in. With a few exceptions, you can have the ones you select for free.

 

[vacerator]

Kyle,

don't ever change either. You are very passionate.
Most of us do understand one another on collecting vacuums, but some disagree on other things.
I guess we're not expected to met each others expectations. If we happen to by coincidence, then even better.
