Hello MOLE:

In bad times like these, you have the business advantage over the big box retailers and new vacuum dealers.  Not so in good times when they can undercut your prices and push products at much lower prices than you can buy/sell.  Anyone can run a company in good times, it takes a smart business man to run a business in bad times, like these.  The reason I like the small vacuum cleaner store owners and operators much better than the big box stores for quality brand vacuum sales.  It's not about a one time purchase, it's about a business relationship.  You provide that to customers.  Not the big box stores. 

You don't specialize in one vacuum brand.  You sell and repair all brands including rebuilts.  Plus, you are a full service central vacuum store.  In bad times when people keep their vacuums longer, you survive on parts and service.  And even with sales of rebuilts for folks who don't want to buy new [can't afford] but want a quality vacuum for their money.   

Glad to hear and know that business is good.  Keep on keeping on.

Hello Venson:

Sorry to hear about your employment situation.  Hope and pray for the best for you.

WRT above Venson, vacuums have followed the same path as the rest of the household appliances.  From going disposable and non-repairable to all looking alike w/o any brand name differences.  Alot of the attraction for rebuilts is to hold onto the quality of yester year and customers' past preferences of name brands and makes.  Like the 'real' Electrolux.  Call it nostalgia, old fashioned etc.  It provides a viable business option to MOLE and others like him.  While also giving an alternative to big box store vacuum buyers who don't want to toss $200 plus on a piece of plastic that will get thrown in a dump in a few years.  What's old is cool again!  Like Drew who posted here with the new GE cann from Wal*Mart and TriStar Mg2 from the local vacuum store.  If Drew bought the TS Mg2 for $350, he got one heck of a good buy!

Thanks Carmine,

Things will probably work out.  Of course, if you see me on the strip in Vegas with a tin cup in my hand -- forget I said that.

Best,

Hi Venson:

Good attitude!  Adapt, improvise, overcome!

Now's a good time to visit Vegas.  Flights are inexpensive.  Gas prices came back down to earth from their lofty levels.  There's lots of deals and good stuff going on here for the Christmas and New Year's Holidays.  

Pax tecum
