Thanks for the story and the pictures. That must have been awful about your collection. I am sure in no time, you will come across some more gems. |

Thanks fantomfan and icee! Yeah, it did suck big time when I came home and my collection was gone, but I guess in a way it was a good thing. |

I would be upset but also I would be relieved lol I've told My wife to help me go through and question me about every model (with the exception of a few that under no circumstances ever go) and make me tell her why it's important to me and if I can't come up with a reason then it goes. This doesn't help because when we get to one that can go SHE then says oh I like the color of that one or oh well i'll use that one.
I will say I've done pretty well this year thinning out the herd and parting with things i've had for years. Mostly ones that have been waiting a spa treatment for several years. I still have a crap ton of vacuums but I've pretty well pulled out all I plan to part with. Maybe in a year I can go through and thin out another 50. I can say if I was to come home and find most of them gone (after I get over a fit of rage) I would accept that the collection is now small and I'd be done with collecting more. |
