The MurderMyrtle Beach Habitat is the same way, it was absolutely disgusting.
The Philadelphia Habitat is hit or miss; some managers actually know what the hell they're doing and will price things cheaply, whereas others will price a used Hampton Bay 60" industrial at $60 (pretty much what they sell for new).. or, as you mentioned, try to pass off builder garbage at triple-digit prices. Again, disgusting.

When I moved away, my Habitat stopped accepting and selling fans altogether.

Ya, I don't get it either, unless there's issues with customers returning them because of mounting issues.. Alot of fans these places get usually has missing brackets, screws etc.. Sometimes even the blades and motors get mixed up.. I saw a lady recently have a fan motor in her cart and blades that would totally not fit, and I'm thinking to myself, that lady is going to get the fan home only to find out nothing will fit..

That doesn't make any sense either, but then again the way most of the Habitats I've seen take care of their fans is appalling. All the Habitats around here that I've been to for the most part just lay out the fans fully installed and pile them on top of each other, bending blades/blade arms. Over the past few months I haven't seen any fans at the Newport News Restore, I wonder if they've stopped accepting them too? They used to be the best for selection of neat fans in this area, now they have nothing. I'd have to say one of the best Restores I've been to is the Frederick, MD one, great selection and everything from what I remember was disassembled. The only problem with them was finding the blades, since a lot of them were all piled together in a few metal containers on one of the shelves, but at least they weren't bent! They also seemed to be reasonably priced too!

Thanks.. On the Shi Chen spinners, I was able to get the speeds working on the one fan.. L and 1 were in the wrong positions which I was only able to get continuity only on one position on the pull switch, which happened to be high speed.. Video coming soon..

My guess is Habitat for Humanity thinks it's a fire hazard to sell used ceiling fans and they don't want to get sued.

Adam, in the future, let me know before you get rid of any fans. If it's stuff I can use I'll happily send you shipping labels.
