This thread shall serve as a thread for my CF finds.
So the other day I was browsing Craigslist for ceiling fans in my area. I came across an ad for two new in the box Crest ceiling fans. I contacted the seller, and got both fans for $40.
One fan is a 2000 Series 36" model in White/Brass, and the other fan is a 4500 Series 42" model in White. I took pictures of both fans, they'll be posted tomorrow, they're on our family computer and I'm posting now from my MacBook. They were pains in the rear end to hang since the 2000 Series is a close-mount and the screws were hard to attach the canopy with since they had to be unscrewed from the motor to install the canopy, and the 4500 Series has where the canopy screws to the mounting bracket, and the hanger ball on the down rod hangs in the canopy, much like most modern-day Hunters. The boxes had some moisture damage, as the fans were given to the seller by a friend years ago and were stored in the seller's basement, but the fans are in good shape, except the 4500 Series has a small, hardly noticeable dent (factory defect) towards the top of the motor housing. But all in all, they're in great shape.
Also, a few weeks ago, I bought a box for a 2002-era Home Depot Hunter Low Profile at Goodwill for $20, but inside was unfortunately a 42" Hampton Bay Harbor Light hugger in PB. It did look brand new, though, surprisingly. A picture of that will come tomorrow, but it is made by Aircool.
