I wish I got the one in the pic. I got 4 of the older model black ones. The handle is a POS. The blue ones are built so much better.

How can a fan you can kick around the house and the carpets are almost dry when you leave, be a POS. :?

I was talking about the handle. Only 2 screws holding it on. Not rotomolded into the unit. The fan does what's advertised. As for using the POS handle, I can't trust it and don't carry it by because the fact that others who have the same "black model" handle broke while carring it in and damaged the customers property. I can't even stand it on one end like the blue one. I have to put it upside down so it won't roll all over the place. :D

3 feedbacks is not someone I'd want to do biz with. I've learned my fair share of those, even if it's a honest seller, I'd wait till he gets several feedbacks as a seller, unless the guy is within driving distance to you. I once had a guy tell me he would only ship the items yet I was 30 minutes from him, he had a low feedback score, and his shipping prices were outta hand too. :roll:

The reason they do that to the shipping is, They have to pay a percentage of the listing price to ebay. They don't have to on the shipping. That's why you see outrageous shipping prices for some things. That's the way around paying ebay more money.

I also do not do business with such people.

Nate, I was referring to this

cause it started life as fookin $79 CHICKEN COOP ventilation fan. (and that's retail at the farm supply store )
plastic magic lOOvers and legs don't add up to the $600+ price tag they started at.

It's in the same "gouge 'em" category as that cheezy plastic headed toy wand for $900

I know, I've been on ebay as a seller and buyer for about 10 years, I adjusted my shipping as a seller but not as much as some will do, but some people will deff put it up there.

The black one is definitely an over priced POS. Can't even use it because it takes up to much space in the truck. I have the blue model that I won at Mikey fest. It's better but still way over priced and if Drieze can't even put a decent cord wrap on a blower I'll never buy another piece from them.

Helllllooooo, the cost doesn't matter if you make your money back 5 fold on them each year. Read the book " Think and grow rich". After you get rid of this "I will only buy the cheapest shit for my business attitude" your business will start growing and so will your profits. The drying times are great! I have 3 and will buy 3 more when I get my new truck.
