Guess what?

Floor Guy was actually Kirby Salesman Guy.

He was a sensible sales guy, and was a very good sport about doing my entry and stairs even though I told him straight off that I was 14 grand in debt and not about to upgrade or trade in any time soon, and didn't push doing the whole sales spiel.

Of course, at the end, when he called in to his manager, I had to explain with some firmness to the manager that no, I was NOT trading in my 20-year-old Heritage II model for a new one, no matter HOW cheap it was after trade-in.

I did take the sales guy's card, and wrote down the prices of the ZippBrush (wonderful tool, but I dropped mine and the housing broke) and the Turbo Sander kit, and I'm certainly going to call him and let him get some commission once I can afford the accesory packs. He was a nice guy, and he did polish my floor for me.

Now I just have to move all the furniture BACK!

I think I wrote about the Kirby sales pitch I got a few months ago. I got a nice clean dining room carpet out of it, and I was actually impressed enough by the whole thing that I bought one. But not from them. I looked it up on ebay while they were working, and I got it for about half what they were talking about.

Yay for a nicely polished floor!

I hated that. I felt totally taken. =(

But, at least, I stuck to not buying anything.

Heh indeed. My vintage model cost me less than a new Dirt Devil on eBay. Like, 10% of the cost of a new model. For that, I can live with one that's heavier to push.
