Recent Estate Sale Finds

[kc_kirby]

This past weekend I went to a bunch of estate sales in KC and didn't find much except for a couple of Hoover Constellations. The odd thing is they were at the same house. They were priced at 4.00 each but it was half price day so I thought I'd be paying 4.00 for both of them. When I went to pay the person taking the money must have not understood me or something and said it would be 2.00 for both of them. So I got a pretty good deal on the lot. They looked like most all the attachments were there too and there were extra bags. One is a model 86 and the other is a model 858. The hose on the 86 isn't in very good shape but I just happen to have another Constellation with a bad motor but a good hose so I can just use that hose on this 86. It even had a Hoover plastic bag, probably from the local Hoover store that is no longer open.

I have never been to an actual estate sale. Only yard sales.


Greg Nunn always goes, and he finds the most amazing machines ever. He found a garland green and gold trim all original hoover 6?7?, and a constellation 82 and attachments and all, and so much more!


UGH!!!!! GREG, next time you go estate sailing, take me!

glad some folks are saving older machines after meeting some online

who are destroying old vacs to make their machines more valuable


Blessed Be!
