How frequent are blemished Reos?

[Vapolith]

Of course, I'm thinking of buying a fourth Reo. I have 4 RM2s and a 5th that I just placed an order for. How frequently do blemished Reos pop up? I've applied to be notified for several of them, but that doesn't stop me from checking the blemished page frequently.

Robert started making the blemished available when he began in house powder coating.

These are little mistakes that don't pass quality inspection.

We all wish for all the finishes to be perfect!

But, once in awhile................a blemish.

So, my answer is.......when 5hit happens! LOL!

So I need to make Robert more clumsy? Maybe I should ship him some adult beverages.

I haven't applied to be notified but in a couple of months of checking I've never seen one show up on the blemish web page. But I suppose that if they do come up they probably immediately get snatched up by people on the list.

What are the odds of one certain color posted have a blemished in a run? Your best bet is to check as often as you can.

I agree that they do get snatched up quickly. I have seen some and gone to write they are available then refreshed to make sure before I post. They are no longer there!

They go FAST even if you're on the list to be notified. I got an email from the site computer saying one was available a while back, and by the time I got there, it was gone. I'd say just keep watching. Also....I think that as Rob gets better and better (more practice) with the powder coating, there will be fewer and fewer blems. I like the idea of sending him a couple cases of "adult beverages"....but we'd need to dare him to drink it all in say, two hours, so we can see some results. Otherwise, he'd just simply enjoy them at his leisure. Thwarted!

I've honestly never seen one listed.

I have 2 Grands & 1 Mini 2.1 now..all were "pre-loved".

I usually check out the classifieds first, then get the re-build kits & RM2's from Rob to tune them back up to tip-top shape!

I love rescuing REO's!

Of course, as soon as the Woodies come back around..I'm going all in for that sweet,sweet timber!

....and when I get a VV Grand it'll need to be spanking new I think...like a Cadillac

They are only $29.00 cheaper than the non-blem's so I guess a bribe would be pointless.

 

[Raynman]

Yeah it might not be cost effective.

Yeah, it would probably cost me more to buy and ship the adult beverages than to just pay the difference.

After buying 6 blems, The money saved was the equivalent of a blem VV Grand. Wow, my blem VV grand was essentially free then

I like it.

Ya'll find out what kind of beer he likes and I'll whip up something that'll knock his socks off in two beers! lol We can make this work!!! lol

6 blemished reo Grandes would equate to a new VVReo I think. Replying to bsidb............

Yep. 6 x 30 = 180. See, it was free.

 

[Dturp]

Yep. 6 x 30 = 180. See, it was free.

AHA! You're wrong! lol It cost you a dollar! 6x29=174 Blem VV grand $175 lol


And if telling the wife it only cost you a dollar isn't the best argument ever I don't know what is!

 

[FeistyAlice]

One major reason the blemished go so very fast is, of course some savings, but most peeps who have gotten blemished have a hard time finding any blemish.

I stalk the Blems...
It's part of the game...
I know I want to buy a Reo, but if the "blem" page always displays "Out of stock notify me", I don't feel like I'm missing anything.

However that day when you refresh the page and a single "Add to cart" bubble breaks the sameness....

Pro tip: clutch heart with left hand to prevent it bursting from chest while you check out.



Have fun
I

Just ordered a non-blemished Reo Grand black wrinkle emerald green. I'm not stalking the blems anymore.
