Most will go this spring and summer.
So far this is today's trash and scrap.

Hey, Jimmy,

Wow. That's a lot of Electroluxes that you'd think someone would want to save!
What's the deal with the Kirby G3/G4 nozzles in the cardboard box? Are they pretty beat up? It's hard to tell from the picture.

Hi Jimmy,

gottahaveahoove's profile picture

I think I asked you about \a few items before...boxes, lenses, etc.

 

But, I can't travel there. :(

"--you'd think someone would want to save!"---

---If so let me know.That is only 1/4 of Elux that will go.More tomorrow if weather is good.
"-G-3/G-4 nozzles-"They could have been easily cleaned and serviced.Any G-3,4 will GO.Also MANY accessories.
"-a few items-"I will try to group by brand and model and picture items before dumpster.Hoover brooms & Elites are going as soon as time allows.
This year any kept from 2 buildings must fit in 1.I will keep some favorites as a much smaller collection.Some with higher value/better condition will have reasonable price.

Thanks, Jimmy.
I forget whether or not you're willing to ship smaller items.
Like John, I'm simply not able to get there. Believe me, if I could, I would.

More rare parts and vacuums gone. I think this website will be done in a few years because there will be no vacuums left to collect because nobody has any parts to fix them anymore. I can't even find parts for vacuums from 10 years ago let alone 40. I've had to hire high school kids that do 3D printing to get a lot of parts made (they ask a lot of money).

Those same Electroluxes in the photos go for $50- $80 all day long on eBay for just the unit alone with nothing else - no hoses - no tools - nothing. The Renaissance units are especially pricey. There's at least $700 in stuff there that sells on eBay all the time.

"--willing to ship--"

Yes!UPS is further than the dumpster and closer than the scrap metal yard.$5.00 minimum to me if I have to ship along with possible charge depending on item wanted as well as any UPS charge.
"--$700 in stuff there that sells on EBay--"
If you know an experienced online seller that can handle 100s of items at a commission let me know as I can not find one and have no time for EBay with 2 buildings and a full time book store.You or any here would be welcome to have the previous load or future loads at a reasonable price which would allow you a nice profit or new items in your collection.More hopefully going today and every day as I remove first layers to see what else is here.One example-I just put 15 Compact/TriStar in one area.They will ALL go OUT of my building.To collectors or scrap metal yard???

How much are you asking for them?

Les,

To add to what I said in Reply 6 there is much here and if anyone wants vacs or parts there are 2 ways to get them--
--If you are within driving distance as a collector from Maryland was last week call and make the easy 4 lane drive.You would find not only vintage vacs but it could be a nice road trip or family vacation.I am in a historic downtown with great antique shops and food as well as a car show and live music on Sat nights.You would get my full attention and pick and choose whatever your vehicle would hold.Or--
--Call as a collector from Mich has and ask for parts in pics or other and after I get a reasonable price (minimum $5) I can take to UPS where you would pay all shipping,insurance and packing for larger items.I do not have time and supplies for packing.UPS does.I would take vacs to them with parts such as handles removed and explain any special handling.
(If anyone goes to Elizabethtown I don't know what you would find as I am in Elizabethton.)

Wow! I’m sure there is a New In Box Eureka vacuum somewhere in Jimmy’s Treasure Chest! I would need to drive all the way down Interstate 81 from Ontario to pick it up. I guess it’s a two day drive with a sleepover in Harrisberg PA. Might be a worthwhile trip for me! I’d have to get moving fast as I know the cleanout needs to be completed soon.

"it's a shame"--

--that my meaning was not understood.vacs here will go out of my building.The golden rotomatic Eureka with original hassock and attachments is too good for scrap or trash.It can wait for a reasonable offer or be part of my much smaller collections.Vacs here range from scrap, parts vacs,easy restoration, good and very good.If collectors have a need or want I am posting here as I hope I am "free to do".

Tom,

You,more than some,would understand that in addition to being a collector having a vac store includes getting trade ins from DTD dealers,customer trades,abandoned repairs,etc some of which sell quickly,some trashed,some for NLA parts and the more interesting kept.After several years in one location this adds up.I now find as I group brands together many good and complete vacs,many for scrap and many in between.Most are available to collectors.For me a smaller collection would include 50s,60s canisters,Electrolux XXX,G & others,various Eureka F&G styles,Hoovers of different decades and a few others.Many could be complete including original boxes and bags.If you know serious Kirby collectors there is MUCH from 50s,60s,70s that MUST GO soon to make room to sort others.
Chris,
I have been mostly working in the front of the upstairs.When I move to the middle there will be many Hoovers including Celebrity.The Electronic is in the back room of new store and not easily found.

Les,

Not the Dual Deluxe which was the first and ultimate Sunbeam.I have only had 2 with one turbine nozzle.Nozzle was sold and there may be one vac downstairs.They later had a good,better,best line up and added the different shapes and styles.Even though they added features such as cord winder,tool storage and magnet lids they were never as good as the Dual Deluxe.
