Huskyvacs
Hey there!
Yes, I completely understand and I’m on the same level. I’m a vet tech for a living - none of us are in it for the money, as the money is pretty much non-existent. The vacs I own have all been obtained and restored by me, exceptions being the 2017 Avalir and my recent D80, but they both were extremely low priced (I was lucky and I realize that and I’m confident my luck won’t continue, as I’ve always been the “last in line”). I completely understand what you mean with regards to the LA hipster having no idea what he’s doing to such a nice machine...maybe that’s why I dislike it so much. At the same time, I can’t expect for others to consider such things when making purchases on antique items. I’m guessing the person who ruined the Kirby in the original post probably doesn’t know anything beyond Kirby being a vacuum manufacturer. It sucks, but it happens all the time, and yes, Bisons are a great example. It’s sad.
I think, for me at least, this further proves how annoying hipsters are.
In any case, I hope you have a good evening. Also, I have 2 D80s... one of them does not have any accessories, but if you are interested, we can figure out what shipping is and subtract that amount from what you can afford and it’s yours. Email me at: trajemoi25@aol.com i can send you pics of it if you want.
Take care.
