<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;"><span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">Dear VacuumLanders,</span></span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;"><span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">On August 24th, 2014 something happened that</span></span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;"><span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">changed the Oreck Restoration Facility</span>.As I</span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">am the CEO of the facility,I decide what </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">machines come in and out. Now, I have been </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">restricting all machines to Orecks. The last</span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">machine that came in that wasn't an Oreck was </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">a Eureka Boss Ultra and I got that many weeks </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">ago.Yesterday which was Sunday, August 25th </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">2014 I went to  garage sale with my Grandmother.</span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">Before I went to her house, I scowered many </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">websites and the only one I got a result on was</span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">CraigsList. I found an ad that said: </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;"> </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">Many items for sale!!! Lawn Mowers, Lead blowers, </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">grills, vacuums, a truck load of stuff all for </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">blow out prices!! </span>


 


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">I knew that I had to stop at this yard sale. My</span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">grandma and I both love garage sales and estate </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">sales so I knew that there was no convincing to </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">go there. When my parents dropped me off at my</span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">grandmas I ran up to her and told her about the </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">garage sale. She was just excited as I was to go.</span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">After a while me and my grandma set off to go to</span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">the garage sale which was just up the road from </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">where my grandma lives. When my grandma parked </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">her 2013 Cadillac SRX I jumped out and "casually"</span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">walked up to the sale. I noticed that there was a </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">great amount of vacuums for sale. A Kenmore Magic </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">Blue, Eureka SmartVac, Oreck BusterB, Bissell </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">Steamer Cleaner, Filter Queen Majestic, Oreck </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">Restaurant Edition and some more little vacs. </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">I meandered around looking and soon I got eager so</span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">I asked the man how much the Oreck Restaurant Edition.</span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">The man was very rude about it. I asked if he would </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">take $20 for it. He claimed it was "brand new" which</span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">it wasn't. He wanted around $200 for it.</span><span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">The Filter </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">Queen I wasn't interested in</span> <span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">but I did leave with </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">something(s). First I found an iRobot Roomba then I</span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;"> found a vintage Hoover Convertible which wasn't for </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">sale. Then a plot twist occured. It turns out the grumpy</span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;"> man's</span> <span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">son was a vacuum collector just like me! I was very</span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">lucky and he said that he was going to give me the </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">Hoover for free! I was so happy. As I was still browsing</span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">I watched as the grumpy man's son came from inside house</span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">carrying what seemed to be some more vacuums. He put them</span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">down and walked over to me and said,</span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;"> </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">"I know you liked vacuums so I remembered that I left these</span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">down in the basement. You would probably appreciate more </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">than I do" </span>


 


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">I was so shocked! One of the vacuums was a Electrolux </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">Upright, the other one was a Eureka StickVac, the last one</span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">was the Hoover Convertible which I mentioned earlier. Also </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">I got a....</span>


 


<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">-----------------------------------------------------</span>


<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">Incident Report Summery:</span>


 


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">I left the garage sale with five vacuums in all. The Roomba,</span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">Hoover Convertible, Electrolux Upright, Eureka StickVac and</span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">wait... Did I forget to mention that by the Kenmore Magic </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">Blue there was a mystery Kenmore? Ah yes the Mystery Kenmore.</span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">I know nothing about it. I know DesertTortoise would like it. </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">DT, if you want to see more pictures of it let me know. The </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">Kenmore is very different looking. I've never seen anything</span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">like it. Let me know if you guys know anything about it. Not</span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">to mention that I got the Kenmore for free! I only payed $5 </span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">for everything because of the Roomba. </span>


 


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">That's how the Oreck Restoration Facility aquired 5 non-Oreck</span>


<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">vacuums.</span>
