Default Barn Door Fan

Anyone know a great deal on one of these systems? A really great deal on a used one would be nice. I want to add it to my bag of tricks but don't want to drop the coin...

Anyway, I remember a used (but quite new, apparently) blower door for sale on this board a while back.

Have you done a search here?
