Need to sell vacuums this year (2024)

[KirbyCollector01]

I have around 100 vacuums in my collection. I am going to be moving this year, and would like to reduce my collection by half before doing so. I am going to list all machines I want to sell below. If anyone has any interest, feel free to comment or email me, I’ll send photos and or videos, and then shoot me an offer.)

moving.

I moved about 65 machines from Texas to Ohio 3 years ago. its doable. even cross country. I wouldn't downsize just to move, find a place that can accommodate what you have plus a little extra. that's what I did looking for a place to rent. I was looking for a place that had the space for my collection, plus a shop. don't reduce to move, find a place that can fit what you have. look at duplexes and older single-family homes. rent is cheaper there. also stay away from property managed places and look for an independent landlord. you'll thank yourself later.

also a 26' uhaul plus a trailer could accommodate all that if you have even a moderate amount of other stuff as well.

I understand what you’re saying. But, made a promise to my Fiancé that I would downsize. I simply don’t want to burden her and overcrowd the house with machines. She said I would never burden her, but I’m doing it out of respect, and the money I make will go towards us getting a house. That is why. [this post was last edited: 1/15/2024-21:35]

Free Machines

At this point, I am willing to just give machines away. I’d like to sell a few, but I will have a large free pile of machines. Just stop by here when convenient to pick something up.

Update:

Dyson Ball Multifloor, Hoover Windtunnel (maroon Mach 2.1), and Hoover Tempo are sold. Rest are still up for grabs.

Reminder.

I’m giving away machines. Anyone who wants something, let me know.
