Well the snow is gone, and the flowers are starting to bloom. Which can only mean one thing, Garage sale season! So I started to wonder what machines you guys have picked up at garage sales and also what ones you will be looking for this year.

I got a Hoover Convertible at a yard sale for 50 cents! The light worked when I first got it, but I tried putting it in my Elite because my Elite's light is burnt out!

Also this year I'm looking for a Dirt Devil Broom vac along with many other 1990's Dirt Devils at yard sales!

On my end-not much luck for vacuum cleaners or other appliances so far-mostly baby clothes,toys,and baby furniture.I didn't go to the yard sales last week-cold and rainy-just figured I would be wasting time,gas and tire,shoe leather on looking at baby things.
