I was on my way back from doing errands and decided to stop at Goodwill,there were no vacuums in the front,I was looking at an old GE electric skillet when the gut from the back said I have a really nice grill that I'm bringing out,so I said do you have any vacuums back there,he said yes and showed me the Wal-Mart junk they had,I looked past that and saw a Kenmore upright handle sticking out of a bin,he said those don't work and will go in the trash,Isaid thats what I'm looking for,I pulled it out along with a magicord canister,the whole time he was saying you aren't supposed to be back here sir,so he got the manager to price them 1.99 each,I didn't know they threw anything away,I let them know I want the discarded vacums,he said what do you want with that,I checked out the dumpster,it looks like the keep it locked,I'm sure they don't mind getting a couple of bucks for the items instead of trashing them.

Good score Mark, I say give the stuff a chance before they pitch it! I'll post a pleasant exchange I had with an employee today in off-topic site in a few minutes.

I just took them out of the car this morning and tested them in the garage and they both work fine the upright even has a belt thats not broken,they must just want to put the newer junk out and toss the rest,I'll post some pics,I need to charge my camera batteries. Mark
