Just a thread Im starting and may develop over time of the photos i've taken at the thrift store, to see what y'all think of their selections. These two photo however are from several months ago, but I figured i'd still share. There's a vintage Kenmore canister that was in the corner on the second trip.

I see two Hoover canisters of interest. Thanks for posting. Everytime I go to thrift store I forget to take in my camera. I've got to start doing that. | ||

Hoover300
The selection at Island Thrift are 1000x better than the Goodwills here as well! I've seen so many 80s and 90s vacs that have caught my interest here (i.e. Hoover Dimension TurboPower with DirtFinder). Thanks for letting me know also that was a Swivel Top and not a Kenmore. The much more vintage ones im not as familiar with.

Pics
The first pic the 2 cannisters are good. There is a 80's Hoover and top right is a simplicity. The simplicity you could buy and resale for a profit.
2nd pic. The Dyson if cheap enough could make a profit. The vacuum with the dark purple base looks good. The Hoover in the back is good. 3rd pic. The electrolux oxygen is good, mighty mite is good, the shark navigator is good and easy sell. The top left is a lightweight vacuum. If it's anything but an orreck would be a nice buy. Les | ||

The last Electrolux I saw at a thrift shop around here was my Genesis LXe upright that I bought for $8 about three years ago. That particular store closed about a month late and that turned out to be my final purchase there. Mostly what I see at thrifts around here are plasticrap vacs I wouldn't take a second look at if they were free on the curb.

Thanks! And yeah it was just dumb luck I found one cheap - but sad story about it. Seller tried to do good by washing it, but he lost the plug for the back, and then the handle smashed in shipping. I need to spend an hour with some Gorilla Glue and carefully put it all back together.
My original thread about it is here: www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bi... I got a Z400 now too last month so it has a friend :) | ||

"Thrift shops were allowed to reopen sometime last month but I have yet to darken the door of one. Just feeling the need to take a break from my acquisition addiction and enjoy what I've got."
I'm with you. I have been to Goodwill a couple of times and another thrift store a couple of times. But I haven't bought anything. I feel the same way you do, enjoy what I have instead of getting more. I don't need anymore stuff myself anyway. | ||

Another Trip
Nothing really of interest this time except for an old red and white Craftsman shop vac, a Bissell carpet cleaner (PRIOR to the Big Green) and a Hoover SteamVac Spot.
