They're selling vacuum cleaners! They are the most over the top, pushy, hucksters you've ever seen.

I understand people have to make a living, but come on now! They come from out of town by the van full and spread out all across the city. If they get into your house you will NOT get them out without calling the police!

They want $1400 for a vacuum cleaner you could get at Wal Mart for $99. It's just ridiculous!
