I hope this does not offend the moderators. I am not selling anything - just passing info along.

Last weekend I purchased an aftermarket Windstart electric fan set off eBay for $57 + shipping which I thought was a good deal. Before it even arrived I noticed that the same seller now has them listed at $34 each plus $20 shipping.

Seems like a great deal and better than a nasty fan that has been sitting on the front of a minivan for the last 14 years. The fan I received was made in Taiwan, looks good, and was packaged well. I have no proof, but would guess that Dorman and the others selling aftermarket fans might all be getting them from the same overseas producer and slapping it in their box.

Good to know, need a good auxillary fan I can try out for awhile until I trust it enough to eliminate the mech fan altogether.

Well that is good news for someone who is looking for something like the Windstar Fan. Best news is that they are NOT made in Mainland China. I assumed that they were Mainland China made. While I would like something made in the USA I gotta say that at least Tiawan has been industrialized for more than a few years. They GOTTA be better at making things than their cousins on the mainland.

Same seller, same exact product? I'd be calling them and getting the lower price!!!!

Same seller, same item. I contacted them about the lower price before I received my fan. Said there was nothing they could do as the distributor sets the price(???). Oh well.

Last time I checked the price was down to $31.
