Thanks...its not available locally so I would still have to pay shipping...gosh that sounds like alot of money for such a little thing :) :)

Shipping is free (you do have to be a Sam's Club member - or know someone who is, to order it for you.) It does seem like a lot to pay for a small item, but that is a good price, and it helps keep your GH temps a lot more stable. I wish I had ordered one (or two) when I ordered my GH, but in my hurry, I didn't. I'll most likely order at least one in the next few weeks.

Thanks Terry... I am a member but my local club doesnt stock them.

I will HAVE to buy one because otherwise I will cook my veggies too soon :)

If you order it through their online site, the shipping is free ;o)

Take a look on eBay -- there is a supplier in UK selling them -- along with airmail shipping they are going for prices cheaper than they sell for here in the US.

Yes...I was curious about that but know "nothing" about ordering from overseas or the shipping...will have to look again :)

What if you wanted to return it ? Overseas !

yea...I kinda thought about that too :)

That's the one thing with eBay -- you usually can't return something like you can at a store. Shipping to and from most countries is not that bad -- you do have to contend with customs forms, however. We sell on eBay and we now sell most items worldwide.

Thank you all...for the advice. Guess I'll just have to save my pennies :)

Charleys Green houses has a few different kinds, I think the ones I bought for $39.95, the Univent control. I haven't put them in yet. I also got the auto floor vents too from there. Those are in. here's the address.

We just received the one we bought via eBay. Shipped direct from the UK. Says it was made in Denmark. Will hopefully be installing soon so we'll see how it is.

Let us know how it does for you! I think these things are a great idea!

I bought 2 from ebay and they were also from UK -total price for the vents was $80 including shipping. Took about a week to get here and they work great. Was very happy with the purchase.

I bought mine from The greenhouse store for 49.95 free shipping.

The auto vents that I got to go with my Rion suggected not to use the auto vents in winter only in the summer.

Wonder why....if it gets up to 80 here ...something has to give :)

depends on your winter temps I imagine.. wouldn't be good for the stuff inside to freeze

Dont these things start to open when the temp get over 60...could be that in some climates you might not want to loose any heat during the day...

I would think you would not want to mess them up lifting a load that is to heavy like snow or if the vent iced down it would hurt the openers trying to lift something that will not lift..........Sandyc

Sandy....you are so smart...I bet that is it :)

That's a good point also Sandy
