hey guys.
so i went to the local flea market in daytona beach, and found this guy with literally a pile of vacuums, well...i came out with spending only twenty dollars on these two vacs that look just about new... one is a simplicity 5500 and the other is a blue eureka whirlwind, they both run and look great, the simplicity needed a new brush roll, belt, and bag, it has a sticker from a local vac shop "richards vacuum center" so i called them up, and took my tristar in for trade, and came out with a new brush, belt, and bottom cord hook.
the eureka needed a new belt, and will probly need a new set of filters soon.
oh...they were both clogged in the hose...i mean they were literally packed all the way through the hoses lol

I almost bought that Simplicity at that flea market a few months ago. I decided against it since I didn't want to drag it home.

 @ vacuumfreeke...we sould meet up sometime, im looking for vacuum collectors in florida, i just moved here, the flea marked dont have many vacuums.
@ vacman117, at the flea market in daytona? im suprised you didnt snatch it up, its a really good vac, the only thing wrong with it is the brushroll needed replaced, and the bag and belt were in desperate need of replacement

Hey there... yeah, I'd be glad to make vacuum friends in real life :o)  I've been in FL my whole life... where did you come from?  I'm Aleroluver on youtube if you want to look me up, I have several vacuum videos on there :o)

 

Is your last name Pierce?  I only ask because I saw your email address in the profile...

Cool...  we should  get together...  I'm already planning a get together with Fantomvacuumfan sometime soon... he's in St. Pete...  btw, my Simplicity looks a lot like yours with mismatched cord hooks!  It was missing the bottom one and I had to order it and it doesn't match the top one, but it's reversed on mine, the bottom is the dark one and the top is the light one...

 

Anyway, the reason I asked if your last name was Pierce is because mine is Pearce and that would be too funny if we had the same (almost, one is spelled right and the other is wrong LOL) last name...
