Yesterday, I shopped the World's Longest Yardsale. I started in Signal Mountain, TN, and ended in Crossville, TN. I got a 1982 Eureka ESP, and a Hoover 70, both in deplorable condition for a dollar each*. I also got an Aerus Electrolux caddy with a hose and Sidekick for $10*, a 175 watt mercury vapor streetlight for $2*, and a 1962 Coleman gas lantern for $20*.

*The cost of the item is offset by the fact that this was an expensive 500 mile trip.

I've heard about this yard sale for several years now.I understand it continues clear passed Tenn.It would be fun to have a large panel truck and just shop and just fill it up with vac's and other treasures.Great finds.Hope to see them clean up and working.Enjoy...Michael

Thursday we had a huge rainstorm that saturated the 127 corridor here in Crossville & I can tell you mostly everything was not covered during the storm. There's a huge vacuum sale once you get past I-40 on the west side of the street that every single machine and rack of hoses was left out there in the rain so I chose no to buy anything.

It's just my luck that I would leave the sale just before I got to a vac sale. Still a shame they all got rained on.
