acquired 40 vacuums
assembled them in my garage
ran down the battery life with which they were shipped  (10:16)  
gave away 32 to the detroit zen center and 8 to family and friends
 Gary,
 
   What if I ship you 40 units?  That is the best that I can do  free of charge.  If that works we can get it out shortly.  The  only thing that I ask is that you become a big Dirt Devil fan:)

Gerhard,
   
    This sounds really interesting!  I'm an Andy Warhol fanatic,  so of course I would love to participate.  I would have a  difficult time selling a full donation of 50, but how would  you feel about a donation of 25 and 25 at wholesale cost?  I  would guess that wholesale is about $35.  The problem with the  "restocking" is that legally, we cannot sell a product as new  when it has been removed from the box, etc. It would be  considered "refurbished" and would need to be closed out.
   
    Let me know if this works.
   
    Thanks!
   
    Jess




 Gerhard,
    
     Good morning.  Could you please outline the details of the  art project for me?  I would appreciate it.
