Warehouse clean out-Losing Lease-Vacs WILL GO!!!

[rugsucker]

I am losing lease on my big warehouse SOON.This is at a time that I am doing extra things in addition to my vac store.I have 3 antique mall booths with furniture,kitchen and more items as well as starting a book store in a mercantile and antique mall in a former sewing factory building across from WalMart and shopping centers.I have just shelved 1000 books with a 1000 more to follow.I also continue EBay with some interesting and rare vacs and other items.This is also a time I wish to simplify and downsize.
Out of HUNDREDS of vacs in warehouse I may keep 5% as future EBay or personal collection.OTHERS WILL GO!!!Scrap metal yard,dumpster,folk artists with welders or collectors.If any interest best to call 423-297-6918 BEFORE your favorite vac goes across parking lot to dumpster.
More later.
Pics later.

Would you happen to have any green Kenmore canisters? Or earlier type with attachment opening on top in blue/gray. Also I am still interested in a green Hoover Slimline, hose and attachments. Also maybe a green Hoover Convertible.

Hi Jimmy..

I will try to come pick up that Kenmore soon, also I still want to find more round 50s Kenmores in good shape..Hans

Jimmy,

Please let me know if you have a floor/rug tool in tan G colors and how much you'd want for it. I'd also be interested in a manual.

In addition, I have a Sidekick (model 1562) but need a wand and cord for it, so that I can use it with my non-electric hoses.

Thirdly, if you have a spare plastic PN-1 wand (the second version after the gray Model F one) I need one.

If your prices aren't too high I'd like to patronize you.

I was also going to ask you if you have a list of Electrolux machines with their names and model #s (and any other information)--particularly since the Model 1521s. I am trying to complete information for a possible collectors' book.

warehouse vacs

fan of fans-Green canisters?Yes but not grouped together yet.Blue/Gray?At least a very nice blue with smaller blue PowerMate.Metal can,late 60s ?Green Slimline?So far found an olive type green color but warehouse has a row of Slimline/Portable including'regular' green.Green Convertible?Almost any Conv both metal base & plastic.Many green/white plastic.Various conditions.Every plastic and most metal base Conv will go!
kenkart-Sooner the better.Many round and square 50s.Then many 60s,70s.Older and nicer-more value,others-less.
paul-Should have rug/floor and PN 1.List?Not yet but have much literature to keep and continue organizing.

Hi Jimmy, I am sending Hans to see you with a very short wish list:

1. I have a Eureka Model 9 that is missing the screws to attach the handle to the machine. Need those screws.

2. Original bag for a Hoover 26, or a 28 will do - as long as it's brown.

3. Brown plastic halo & ivory cord for Electrolux economy model 4153.

4. Bare floor tool for my Green G.E. Swivel-Top.

5. Hoover 913: original black pinstriped bag

6. Royal gray dusting brush (plastic head with chrome snout)

 

[paul]

Hello again, Jimmy,

Here are some more items on my wish list:

1. Several teal and ivory cord end holders (see photo) that snap onto hose

2. 2 metal swivel connectors (teal tipped wand locks preferred; white would work)

3. White wall brushes and dusting brushes (Model G--aqua and tan)

4 Rug Washer (tan G colors)

5. 2 teal cords for PN-1 teal sheath

6. 2 teal Rug Washer trays ('60s)

"short list"

I will be glad to fill orders on short lists but also need people with long list,big truck & moderate amount of $$.For some small items I need to move out dozens or hundreds of vacs(to dumpster,scrap yard or collectors) to begin sorting small items.
Electrolux 137-I am most likely to have-28 bag,brown halo,Royal dust.
Paul-Have many Rug Washer.Not sure of tan.Some small items will be kept and sorted later.Some are in attic that I have little time for until warehouse is EMPTY.

I do understand your dilemma, having been through a major garage clear-out myself when I had to move about three years ago from the place I'd lived for nearly 20 years. I wished people would have shown up with trucks but no one did. I'm just hoping that when Hans comes out there he will bring his big truck and fill it up, leaving just enough room for the small piddley stuff that I want.

 

[paul]

Jimmy,

I also understand your dilemma. If there were a carpool going from the area, I'd be interested in going to help you clear out.

As for the rug washers, what is your asking price? I really just wanted the tan, but wouldn't mind having all the colors.

 

[kirbykid]

Ill buy any kirbys you have, and ill pay scrap value for any left over ones so they dont get scrapped.

 

[opelgtkarl]

If you have any GE uprights ranging from the 40's to the 70's I would love to find some. That and if you have a Constellation 87 with the electric hose and anything Sunbeam.

warehouse vacs

Paul-most RW are 1205 or newer.Some new in box.Prices might start at $15.
Kirbykid-Would love for you or someone to have a pile of Kirbys to sort and rebuild but is there a practical way to transport to you?Most are Heritage and newer.Some Omega-Tradition.Very few Sanitronic.Very,very few 50s.But many boxes,att and box,butler,polisher,etc.
Opelgtkarl-Some 40s GE including tan and black/red colors.A very few 60s/70s style.A very nice,complete 87 but sort of my personal collection but might sell at some price.(Most warehouse vac prices could be $1-$20.A few higher depending on rarity,condition,etc.)Several Sunbeams-various models,mostly canisters.--P.S.One of my Elux managers had 2 Opel GT in his driveway for 2 teenage boys.One painted his a custom black/gold.Looked as good as many Vettes.

 

[fan-of-fans]

I guess I should have asked if you would be willing to ship anything. I would be interested in the blue Kenmore canister, a Hoover 1020 Convertible and matching lime Slimline if so. I know it would be a lot of work. I would come if I was nearby but I'm in FL.

 

[opelgtkarl]

Hey Jimmy! I was wondering if you could email me some pictures of some of the 40's red and chrome GE uprights and the sunbeam canisters. My email is [email protected].
Thanks!
-Karl

Warehouse vacs

fan of fans-"willing to ship?"-YES,this means that I will take vac to UPS Store(closer than scrap yard,further than dumpster)after I receive a small or reasonable payment based on rarity & condition.I will put vac and parts (taken apart if needed on a particular vac) on counter with your phone number.It will then be you & UPS deciding on packing,supplies,insurance and shipping.
opelgtkarl-Will try to have pics soon but a few of these vacs are at main store and most time now has to be spent at warehouse until empty.The black/red GE was painted black,not polished,& black bag with red emblem,red bumper.Pretty vac!Sunbeams include round/flat,Courier and Challenger.Many should be complete or nearly after parts are sorted.
All-Will be willing to ship as above,but if you or someone in your region has truck and is ready for a road trip where the days are longer and the snow has melted now is the time before most(95%)are GONE.We started a scrap metal pile that so far includes AirWay 55,Elux XXX & LX and chrome top Rainbow.

 

[paul]

Jimmy,

That sounds like a fair price for the rug washers. When you find time, let me know which colors you have.

All,

If anyone is planning on a road trip that is somewhat close to southern Minnesota let me know. I'll help pay for gas.

 

[kirbykid]

The shipping is the easiest part of it all. I give the people at PODS a phone call and they come and pick it all up and deliver it all. Paying you is the problem. How much would it cost for them all? could I see pictures?

 

[constellation86]

Do you have any flat top Compacts or Revelations?
Thanks
Nicholas
