One day my husband came home from a yard sale with an old, really old, vacuum he had gotten off the *free* pile. He said it was an antique. I told him it was a good thing he didn't pay anything for that piece of junk.
So he did a little research on the internet and called the Rainbow company and asked about his special little vacuum. Turns out it was a pre WWWII, with a low serial number. He tinkered a little on it, cleaned it up and it ran. Too bad I told him, get it outta here.
THEN the salesman called. Do they have radar or what? So Hubby says yes come on over I want to show you something too!! The Rainbow salesman comes in, all eager beaver to sell the best ever vacuum to Hubby. But NO, he doesn't even get to demonstate. Hubby takes out the antique and does his own demo, shows the salesman how good this thing is even though it is older than dirt he is vacuuming up! Tells him how much he NEEDS this vacuum for his demos, to show the longevity etc. In short order the salesman is writing out a check for $100.00 and leaving with the *free* pile vacuum.
I bet his wife was ****ed
