Ridgid 12 gallon Shop-vac (Westmont)
Works fine, but does NOT include a filter (which you can buy at any hardware store). Hoses and attachments included. Well-used but works as it should. Used mainly in a wood and metal shop for cleaning up dust and chips. Not particularly clean, but it's a shop vacuum.

Dirt Devil light weight vacuum (South Elgin)
Like new. As a vacuum, it does not work very well. But it detaches to become a portable and that part works well. I used it for my car only.

Cabelas vehicle seat cover (Downers Grove - South)
Sorry- terrible picture. Nylon bench seat cover. I previously used this cover for a back seat in an Explorer. It wraps pretty well providing good coverage. I have weathertech seat covers for my dog and I think this covers better, but it does not fit in my current vehicle. I had to cut a few straps to allow faster install and removal.
