Endora's incantation

Let's see now, I believe Endora's incantation will go something like this...

She raises her arms high in the air... incantation chimes now begin.

'Blow ye winds...and thunder crack...'

Gusts of wind start along with thunder and lightening.

'The time has come to get you back'

'For those who have punked me on this site'

'May your collections of machines disappear tonight!'

She waves her arms again and everyone's collections disappear from their homes.

Oh, here's my want list, if it's not too late!

Oh, if it's not too late, put me down for the vintage 70's boxes of Oxydol and Cheer on the back wall. I need those for my collection. Heck, just box up all the detergent and send it to me... Thanks!

[veg-o-matic]

Wow Don, what a haul! Don't you love it when people decide to change what they collect? I understand the former owner of all the washers is now going in heavily for Precious Moments figurines instead.

[veg-o-matic]

Hey, you guys did a great job clearing out that messy basement--you even pulled up the floor tiles. I'll bet the owner loves the clean, smooth look of concrete.

I understand it's hard to get parts for some of those old Frigidaires that don't work. What're you going to do with them? Chuck 'em? I think the price of scrap metal is on the rise again, so it might be worth your while.

Isn't it amazing what you can find when you go to estate sales? I also like getting a little intimate peek into the life of a total stranger. For instance, the former owner must be a terrible slob--look at that piece of dust on the floor. And talk about disorganized--those detergents should have been in alphabetical order. I also see that he installed one of the machines is .27 degrees out of plumb. Loser.

[aldspinboy]

You guys are really reducing shipping cost drastically, What the outer cab in the hotpoint & low end whirlpools are about 20 pounds . You forgot about the frigidare one knob machine water temp on the dial, two water levels . A little simpler then the super -unimatic Who's got the super-unimatic? do you think he will adjust ?

I take back the Velva Powered Thing

Comment. You're all horrible!! I'd never do anything like this
to Robert. Gansky, you're the worst!!! Shame on you!

 

[jmirawm]

something ?

Is there anything left at all from this fabulous sale ? I think I heard there was a fabulous collection of coffee pots upstairs....<p>Even one that lights up! I am sure it is no good at brewing coffee anymore. <p>I would love to dismantle it, disconnect the heating device, reaasemble it and put colored water in it. <p>What a fabulous night light for the kitchen - Maybe I could even convert it somehow into an awesome lava lamp!!

 

[sudsmaster]

Now, now, calm down Darrel. It's not as if we're not trying to replace the collection with some appliances of equal or lesser value.

For example, I propose the following unit to replace all those ancient washers with clashing colors. Sure, this one is a bit of a project, but think of the hours of fun Robert will have tuning it up!

 

[mrmaytag]

Anyone going to videotape his reaction?

Hey guys, I have to admit in all the years I've been a member of this site, this absolutely has to be the best prank I have seen yet. Does his partner have a video camera that he can use to capture the glorious 'Kodak moment' when he gets back home? Now that's some video I think we all would like to see!!! LMAO!!!

Dennis

 

[brettsomers]

I found some weird old TV upstairs. Obviously too old to work. This is much better...

 

[jetaction]

FYI

"Does his partner have a video camera that he can use to capture the glorious 'Kodak moment' when he gets back home?"

The partner went with the sale. The Poor Dear.

I Turn My Back For One Little Moment

Oh thank god those stupid machines are gone. To be honest all the work its been taking to keep them running smoothly (with the exception of the Unimatics of course, but that goes without saying) was getting a bit annoying, it will be so nice to get rid of them all. Bye Bye washers, don't let the door hit you in the ass. Even the modern machine bye bye, I'm just sick and tired of doing laundry anyway. So for now on I will be sending the wash out to be done, now that's what I call automatic! YAY. Don't forget the dishwashers too, delicious power bars and bananas don't make dirty dishes anyway!

Now for those of you who have been following Vacuumland you've seen that I just become a member of the VCCC. Now I that I have more space I can concentrate on my new found love of vintage Vacuums! YAY Hoover and Electrolux. Oh and since I'm done with washers you know what that means for aw.org, starting on Thursday when I get home, the website will be closed!...

Hmmmph.

Some People Have All the Estate Sale Carma

WOW Don,

What a Jack Pot!!!

You definitely have "the carma" when it comes to spotting great estate sales. And this one was set up like a show room. How inviting!! Sounds like everyone piped up and all great finds are spoken for. Now that's my luck!! You better keep me in mind for your next great find!! There probably won't be another quite like this one!!

Pat

 

[peterh770]

Oh! Thank God! If I had to hear one more time about Greg chronic oversuding of his d*mn precious combos, I would just pull the rest of my hair out! Or Jetcone's gushing endlessly about his lovely Bendii! Or LightedControls endless machine give-aways! It's just maddening! Maddening, I tell you! I'm so tired of this site! Close the site please so that I can spend more time on other sites! Maybe I can get some work done! Uff Dah!

 

[sudsmaster]

OK, everybody give Robert back his washers, dryers, dishwashers, and whatnot. We can't let him off that easily!

 

[wringer_clean]

Hey Sudsmaster

Wait, are you sure you want to give it all back?? Please, give it a second thought. You know, finders keepers, looooosers aaaah something. This is no time to make a rash decision. Really!!

 

[hooverwheelaway]

***Tears welling up in eyes***

Oh... Gee... Thanks!

I'm sure you are all wishing that Robert had turned you into artichokes!!

What could possibly be worse than "Closed Permanently?"

:-(

But, on the flip side...

Robert~ I can see it now; you can lay a new floor with black tiles, Hoover red tiles, and Electrolux model G turquoise tiles.
((Thank goodness the kind souls at your estate sale took the liberty of gutting your basement))
Of course, you'll also need some carpet down there.
Big flashing neon signs **Hoover Gallery** **Electrolux Gallery.**
Row after row of chrome shelves, holding hundreds of vintage vacuum cleaners.

It'll be fabulous!

It could even look like this someday:

This too:

 

[wringer_clean]

I Think There's a New Vision on the Horizon

Go Fred,

Yeah,

Robert, do you see it??? You have to!! It'll be sooo grand. It just might be the collection and display that sets a completely new standard. You'll be the envy of all vacuum collectors, WORLDWIDE!!! Do you see it???

Chrome, Lights, Color and miles of carpet. VACUUM HEAVEN!!!
You have to start on it now!! IT'LL BE THE BEST, THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!

 

[veg-o-matic]

I for one can't wait to see Robert's Wall O' Dirt Devils.

veg

 

[chestermikeuk]

Well

That went better than expected didnt it!!!!!!

AND, at least Robert you will be starting your vac collection WITH the ellusive APEX!!!!!!!!

 

[sudsmaster]

I still think Robert's basement would make a wonderful bingo parlor.

 

[toggleswitch]

In that cold climate the bodies just won't decay!

It also makes for great catacombs to hide the bodies when he murders us!

 

[sudsmaster]

How about a "Wall 'O Euro-Pros ?"
