Figured I'd start documenting all my finds, and what better time to start than a new year? Today at the ReStore I got 3 brown Originals for $40 per fan. Yes, they're import Originals but they're still quality fans. They're also missing their U-brackets and rubber grommets (of course), so I'm gonna have to order some (most likely) overpriced replacements from Hunter. I plan to keep one fan for myself and sell the other two.   |

Nice finds,, the motors look really nice,, the blades not so much.. $40 is pretty expensive for a restore.. Personally I wouldn't pay that for an imported Original..

I'll take one if you sell them for a reasonable price, maybe both.

Those are some decent finds so far Cullen! What are the fans dated?
Nice finds,, the motors look really nice,, the blades not so much.. What do you have against the blades? $40 is pretty expensive for a Restore.. If you find that expensive, you should check out the ReStore in Phoenix. Fans that literally sell for $70.00 at Home Depot were priced at $128.00 (and that is no typographical error on anybody's part)! For my local ReStore, I follow Jon's pricing strategy - 30 to 35 percent of retail for used fans and 50 percent for new ones. |

Even 50% of retail seems steep for something you get for free I actually just had a customer covey a rather similar message. Albeit true that nearly every item has been received at no cost to the ReStore, there are certain expenses that are present, for the better or worse. Rent for a spacious commercial building, electricity and employee wages all have to be accounted for. And, of course, money that goes towards Habitat For Humanity build sites. |

I've seen worse there when it comes to overpriced fans. Once they had some cheap Harbor Breezes on display at the front of the store for about $125 APIECE!!! However, all the fans in the normal fan section had regular prices on them.
And yes, the blades are scratched. Not to mention one of them has a price tag sticker on it. I guess they'll need to be re-stained.

However, all the fans in the normal fan section had regular prices on them. That sounds quite reminiscent to the Phoenix ReStore. Which models were they? I am willing to bet that the price was due to their "fancy" looks. And yes, the blades are scratched. Not to mention one of them has a price tag sticker on it. I guess they'll need to be re-stained. From my experience, Varathane gel stain is excellent for re-finishing. |
