    Congrats on the finds. Experience will help you find more in the future. Most people start out small in any business. Best to you, Mike

    Just an FYI SMP, if you pick up vacuums always check to make sure they are not just clogged up with crap. I have been picking up vacuums for quite sometime and about 70% are just clogged up, Flea Markets and CraigsList is where they go. The vacuums I've been finding lately are higher end Bissell's which sell for about $150-$200 new. So I flip them for about $30-$50 each. Just make sure you clean them up, a little soap and water go a long way.
