[rugsucker]

Most will go this spring and summer.
So far this is today's trash and scrap.

Hey, Jimmy,

Wow. That's a lot of Electroluxes that you'd think someone would want to save!
What's the deal with the Kirby G3/G4 nozzles in the cardboard box? Are they pretty beat up? It's hard to tell from the picture.

Hi Jimmy,

I think I asked you about &#92a few items before...boxes, lenses, etc.


 


But, I can't travel there.

"--you'd think someone would want to save!"---

---If so let me know.That is only 1/4 of Elux that will go.More tomorrow if weather is good.
"-G-3/G-4 nozzles-"They could have been easily cleaned and serviced.Any G-3,4 will GO.Also MANY accessories.
"-a few items-"I will try to group by brand and model and picture items before dumpster.Hoover brooms & Elites are going as soon as time allows.
This year any kept from 2 buildings must fit in 1.I will keep some favorites as a much smaller collection.Some with higher value/better condition will have reasonable price.

Thanks, Jimmy.
I forget whether or not you're willing to ship smaller items.
Like John, I'm simply not able to get there. Believe me, if I could, I would.

More rare parts and vacuums gone. I think this website will be done in a few years because there will be no vacuums left to collect because nobody has any parts to fix them anymore. I can't even find parts for vacuums from 10 years ago let alone 40. I've had to hire high school kids that do 3D printing to get a lot of parts made (they ask a lot of money).

Those same Electroluxes in the photos go for $50- $80 all day long on eBay for just the unit alone with nothing else - no hoses - no tools - nothing. The Renaissance units are especially pricey. There's at least $700 in stuff there that sells on eBay all the time.

"--willing to ship--"

Yes!UPS is further than the dumpster and closer than the scrap metal yard.$5.00 minimum to me if I have to ship along with possible charge depending on item wanted as well as any UPS charge.
"--$700 in stuff there that sells on EBay--"
If you know an experienced online seller that can handle 100s of items at a commission let me know as I can not find one and have no time for EBay with 2 buildings and a full time book store.You or any here would be welcome to have the previous load or future loads at a reasonable price which would allow you a nice profit or new items in your collection.More hopefully going today and every day as I remove first layers to see what else is here.One example-I just put 15 Compact/TriStar in one area.They will ALL go OUT of my building.To collectors or scrap metal yard???
