    if you get any dysons they are easy to repair once youve done a few and sell for $100 each, they usually need a new clutch or motor

    On Dyson and Bissels...well any decent brand...take the hoses, bin, brushes ect and sell on ebay for $5-20 a set...someone always has a broken this or that and alot cheaper than new ones. Plus they take up so little space and ship cheap and in smaller boxes. Scrap the rest...I pull the cord and I can turn the entire thing in, plastic and all for motor price. If you are REALLY industrious...search ebay for parts to that model and you can pull off some and sell...alot of repair guys get parts off ebay for appliances, vacuums and other stuff.

    I used to get alot of vaccums, motors are easy to brake down, it'll make your copper bin grow real fast. Good score!!
