Welcome to the group!
If you’re looking for a lot of vacuums to kickstart your collection, I’d recommend a trip to Elizabethton Tennessee to see my friend Jimmy Martin. Take a look at the thread “Vac Shop Clean Out and Downsize” I was there yesterday and posted over 60 photos of some of the vacuums he has that he want to sell. I came home with a pickup truck loaded down with vacs, parts, hoses, bags, belts, etc. he’s VERY reasonable on prices, and there’s some awesome BBQ places to eat at while you’re there. An added bonus, if you like to read, he has a bookstore as well that’s busting at the seams with neat old rare books!

Welcome! Cool to see some younger collectors finding this place!
If you haven't already, I am sure you have, check thrift stores weekly for vacuums. I've seen vacuums a lot of time at Goodwill I was just about to pay way too much for on eBay and got them a lot cheaper. Just have to be patient. Other than that there's cruising around the city on trash night looking for those plastic handles sticking out of trash bins and piles. Maybe ask around local vacuum repair shops if they have any un-repaired or un-refurbished used vacuums they could sell you cheaply. Searching for specific models though is pretty tricky, yes. I have quite the list too. | ||

Plastic handles sticking up from garbage bins-If I see a METAL handle in the bin-will stop to check it out-if its an all plastic handle-I just keep going!Exceptions may be for Kirby handles.Most of the vacuums I have seen in garbage bins lately have been dead,dirty,bagless ones. | ||
