This past weekend I went to a bunch of estate sales in KC and didn't find much except for a couple of Hoover Constellations. The odd thing is they were at the same house. They were priced at 4.00 each but it was half price day so I thought I'd be paying 4.00 for both of them. When I went to pay the person taking the money must have not understood me or something and said it would be 2.00 for both of them. So I got a pretty good deal on the lot. They looked like most all the attachments were there too and there were extra bags. One is a model 86 and the other is a model 858. The hose on the 86 isn't in very good shape but I just happen to have another Constellation with a bad motor but a good hose so I can just use that hose on this 86. It even had a Hoover plastic bag, probably from the local Hoover store that is no longer open.

What a lovely find, and "such a deal!" The Constellation really is a fun and fabulous vacuum cleaner. Smile

Me neither!


I have never been to an actual estate sale. Only yard sales.


Greg Nunn always goes, and he finds the most amazing machines ever. He found a garland green and gold trim all original hoover 6?7?, and a constellation 82 and attachments and all, and so much more!


UGH!!!!! GREG, next time you go estate sailing, take me! :)
