In about 10 days my son and i get on an airplane and say good bye to San Diego for good. At this point i don’t have time to sell off my vacuum collection and so i am giving it away to anyone and everyone who shows up. No shipping at all whatsoever, sorry no time. I really just want to save as much from the scrapper as possible. Contact me if you can be here in the next week or so. Mostly i have vacuum from the seventies on up....Kirby, Hoover, Sanitaire, Oreck, Fitter Queen, Electrolux, Panasonic, Kenmore, Interstate, Simplicity, Riccar, on and on....canisters, uprights, not to mention my favorite...commercial vacuums! Probably 150-180 vacuums in all. |

I'd love to come by and grab some. I don't have a lot of space, so I can't take many, but still. I'm up in Vista so it wouldn't be too bad a trek for me. |

Any "House Clearance" outfit will clear them for you.
Those guys have the time, transport, and energy, to clear anything that'll make them money. They often take away scrap stuff as part of their deal. You may even make a buck or two! The vacuums will end up on eBay, Craigslist, Boot fairs... Certainly no need for the scrapper! |

I will give to charities if i have to, but ever since i donated a (at that time) recent Filter Queen minus attachments, i hesitate. What happened was i donated my items at the thrift store and left. Not long afterward i feared i had left something in a suitcase i also donated. I returned just minutes later to the thrift store. They directed “out back” where i was stunned to find both the suitcase and the lovely FQ already in the dumpster. “We don’t have room for everything” they said. I believe it. |

We have some customers, “frree” reduces the haggling a good amount. Still haven’t gotten near the bottom of the pile (cough Kirbys cough). Feast you eyes on these: |

The pictures start after most of the vacuums had been loaded. There were about 8 Filter Queens, a dozen each concept 1 Kirbys, royals... Decade 80’s, Convertibles, so many more. Keep on top of your hoard kids...it depends on circumstances and situation, and my situation changed... and so doing turned the source of great joy into the source of a great burden for me. Now i feel free. I hope these vacs ultimately find a good home. I can say the gentleman who put 3 times as many vacuums in the rental truck than o thought possible was a god send and will be as good as anyone for the job of distributing them on to the food homes i mentioned earlier. Peace out |
