Finally there is a final answer! Thanks for letting us know Robert.

I guess that means that finding a good price for one in the classies will be hard to do, unless it's old and beat up.

All REO's in general hold their value well and resale prices are usually not much lower than blemished.

Some Mini owners might not hear that they are now discontinued and if they sell might surprise you with a low price. I have seen this happen with collectible REO's and even with the woods.

I'm in a quandary at the moment. I like the size of the 14500, and I run a 1.2Ω RM2 on one of them, which I like, but I suppose I would be better off going to a 2.1 for the batt size. I have one of the original mini 18490's which I also like, but because of the size, just not quite as much. So I guess it's decision time as to which I am going to be looking for. I do look occasionally at the blems in hopes of finding something there. So maybe a 2.1 if I can get one.

I'd be surprised if the prices went up. There should be plenty around. Once the cleaning person starts to nab them all, the price will reflect their rareness.
