vacuum cleaner, anybody?

[she-of-emeralds.livejournal.com]

I no longer need my upright vacuum cleaner. It is in good condition, not very heavily used, comes with a package of extra collection bags. Full disclosure: I have cats so there could be cat dander in it, but I will change the bag before you come get it. Also, it's a nice color combination--red and black--in case you care about that kind of thing.

$40 or best offer.

Ron, my apologies, I couldn't find an appropriate tag.

Really, ext_1771774 ? Why? And how is the Bromfield Road fire at all relevant to whether we can host international travelers in our apartments?
