Okay I was at a thrift store yesterday here in my town and saw an Electrolux Tri-vac in the brown Olympia color. It was in good condition, sounded great and had great suction. The price tag was $22.00. I think that's a little too high for a 30 year old stick vac however it is a rare one. We asked her if she would come down but she said the only thing she would do is give me the bags for it for the $22.00 instead of selling me the bags seperate. She got the bags out of a drawer and I saw the Tri-vac box of bags BUT the bags inside were Hoover Convertible C bags. Itold her these were Hoover bags and she went all Bitch mode and argued with me about it. It said Hoover on the bag yes, but it said Electrolux on the box, therefore they were Electrolux bags. So my question is what would you do? I really want the vacuum but don't want to pay quite that much.

well she is the owner and the only one working there. She is a very well off older lady that owns a fried chicken place and does the thrift store as a hobby, no charity here.
I really do want the vacuum, at this time I will hold off but I know it's not going any place soon, I will post pictures of it. Thanks for the info. |
