Hi Jimmy,

The red striped Hoover outer bag.
Is that new or used?
Would you be willing to ship something light like that?

Thanks,
Barry

So tantalizing, yet so far!!

Is that Black and Decker canister a Eureka rebadge?
Love the Kenmore Duopower and the little Dirt Devil PN canister and the Celebrity
Who made that little blue canister at the left in the last photo?

replys

Barry,
"Hoover bag"--They are used,mostly good or better.There are many more.(Pictures so far are only a SMALL random sample of what is here!!)Shipping on these would not be much of a problem.
fan-of-fans,
"Black & Decker"--These were sold in this area by furniture stores in early 90s.Don't seem to be Eureka.I should have attachments if not more vacs as I continue to sort.
"little blue canister"--Was sold by Sears.I have another similar,smaller vac complete in box.
Others will know more on these.

Jimmy,
Does your polished Fairfax nozzle have its label still? IF so id be interested in that nozzle and the grey panasonic power nozzle

 

[kirbyvertibles]

Also a Fairfax preco nozzle

Phillip

As I recall the Fairfax electric nozzle is very nice and has no PN outlet Fairfax to go with.You are first to ask about Panasonic nozzle.I may keep the Preco nozzle to go with a complete Fairfax(I should have original boxes,polisher & even 'Fairfax'fragrance).May use in a 'clean your home with chrome' display or offer as the most complete one.There should be at least 4 Fairfax,not all complete but most or all with original std hoses.

Hi Jimmy, hey I have been meaning to call you about the Regina Canister vacuuums that you have. One thing. Would you be willing to ship? I unfortunately would not be able to make a trip to you at this point and time. I know you mentioned you might consider shipping if the buyer paid for the cost to have the item professionally packed and you just dropped off the item at the UPS store.

I know you are busy and just wanted to check with you so I don't waist your time.

Just let me know your thoughts.

Hope all is well! Best, Richard.

Richard(& all),

As to SHIPPING--
--After I get a reasonable price for an item I would be glad to take it to the nearby UPS and instruct them as to the value,age,possible fragile parts,parts that can be disassembled,etc.and have the buyer call UPS to arrange packing,packing materials,insurance,cost,etc to their satisfaction.(I have done this with 2 vacs that went to western states with no problem.)In the case of some small items such as a Hoover zipper bag I am holding for a possible buyer I might pack and mail without wasting half a day and worrying if it will end up broken.
But for those with time and a convenient location I would suggest putting the UPS money in your gas tank,call me and come pick and choose.

Sadly you're 575 miles away from me. A 10 hour drive (or an $800 one way plane ticket) yikes!

Also as a tip - if you want to take care of your vacuum bags (outer bags or large lots of packaged bags) that people want to buy, you could get rid of them pretty quickly in a USPS medium flat rate box. The narrow type ones. I think it's like $8 to ship. Local post office has them, self sealing, stuff the bag in, scrawl your name and the buyer's name across it, give them the postage money, and away you go. It can't break because it's just a bag.

 

[bvac6]

Jimmy! Do you have any Regina uprights, the later Housekeepers and so on? Looking for attachments and such also. Thanks! I can call you if it's easier for you to text me any pictures.

 

[rugsucker]

huskyvacs,

Good information on the USPS box rate IF they do not lose it without a trace AS THEY DID with a box of rare Kirby parts I sent to the northeast.NEVER give them a box without a tracking number!
Bvac6,
Only Regina Housekeeper is probably an early pink one with the then optional attachments in box.I do have literature including service/parts manuals and should have small atts & short wands in at least blue and gray and maybe misc parts.

 

[bvac6]

Very I interested in the Regina and the assorted extras, I'm certainly after attachments. Can you provide pictures? If easier you could text them to me? Thanks!

 

[rugsucker]

"attachments"

Just now continuing to sort some atts.So far mostly Elux,Hoover,Kenmore,Eureka but will get to others soon.

Jimmy

I wish I was closer!
I'd love to see if you had the correct color on-board tools for my 75th Anniversary Epic 6500.

Also, speaking of Hoover:

Any chance you might have this furniture/upholstery nozzle?
It's for my Hoover Portable.
This one is broken, and the red rubber nubs are missing.

Thanks,
Barry

The Haul.....

Oh my goodness! What can I say, Jimmy has a TON of stuff...words (or photos) can’t begin to scratch the surface! I basically stood in there staring in awe!! Jimmy is such awesome host and a valuable wealth of knowledge!! I can’t thank him enough! I’m loaded down with vacuums, parts, hoses, bags, etc! Very VERY reasonable prices, and of course amazing bbq! While Ridgewood was too busy, I tried another one and was extremely impressed! Anyway, enough talk, time for photos!!!

"-Hoover--nozzle-"--Yes.Would like to complete some of my Portable/Slimline/Constellation but should still have extra.

Hello Steve,Goodbye Vacs,

As above Steve came with a truck and took about ONE PER CENT of what is here.Vacs going to a new home were as old as a 'coffee can'Hoover and as new as Rainbow E and a Dyson.Also some parts vacs and parts such as correct color hoses for many different Elux.We started at new location and after plan B on lunch continued at the old.Note-the above pictures show some of what is moved to new but NONE of what is left at old.
Who will be next?!?

Clean outs

Hello rugsucker and All,
I am sorry to say the only vacuum I find of interest is the GE 111. I understand GE had also made a Model 111-A with a light, this I have never seen pictured nor in person.
I have had to clean out 2 shops for their owners and most machines went in the big dumpsters this was before the Internet and eBay.
I have repaired a number of the machines I see you have and a number of them I really hated working on.
About 40 years ago took 20 of mine to the dump which left me with 4 vacuums and now I am back up to about 28 or so.
I even sort of stupidly just bought a Hoover Baby Model 103 and a Hoover 105. Not really sure why I thought I had to have them.
Good luck to you and good luck to all you haulers,
Pete

Steve.....Thanks so much for all the pics!!! All I can say is WOW!!!!!

Thanks so much! -Payton
