Here is one of my first Yuman experiences: I wanted to buy a vacuum and didn't want to go to Wal-mart. So I saw this second had store down my street that had about 100 used vacuums all weather beaten and left out in the sun. But I went in anyway and asked how much for a vacuum. Twenty bucks the chain smoking guy said. I said great, do they work. Not a one of 'em he said. The he proceeded to tell me that they all had broken belts, brushes or something wrong with them and that he was going to have this kid come by and fix them all. I asked if I could plug them in to see whats wrong with them. Nope, was his answer. So, twenty buck for a vacuum cleaner kept out in the sun, that you know doesn't work. With guys like this out there no wonder Wal mart is so popular.
