Auction house score this week

I was at the local auction house this weekend. Lots of people but prices were not bad. Anyway this vacuum comes up and I have a friend that had asked for me to keep a look out for one. Figured if it went cheap what the heck. I'm not a vacuum snob. I will by whatever is cheap and works. No one wants it so I pick it up for $5.00. All of the attachments and a large box full of bags. I get back to the store and start looking through the box. This thing is an Electrolux and the invoice is in the box. Someone paid $1138.67 for this vacuum in 1998! Needless to say my friend is not getting it and I have become a vacuum snob. Not making any money on this one but the floor in the store looks great.

Not making any money on this one

Well that sucks!
(sorry it had to be said)

Well that sucks!

LOL Yep the carpet right off of the floor.

I'm in the same boat.   I got that Hoover carpet cleaner for $12.50, retails at $359.   Plan was to clean my carpets then sell.

Thing works so well and is so easy I'm having a hard time listing it.  Want to keep it.

I am a little disgusted at how much dirt came up.....thinking out laying hardwood through out.
