$103 at Amazon, only item close is the PENCOM for $65. Hey if it fell off a truck hopefully it is in good working condition!

 

[Budzbuddha]

Congrats ( if legit piece ) …. Probably “ fell of a truck “

How can one check authentication? Blue lab use any identifiers? It might of fell of a truck but it came. Wonder how many fell off?

 

[Budzbuddha]

Open box and pebbles fall out

 

[bam0813]

Lol ya I bought some stuff before that seemed sketchy and to good to be true but thankfully checked out at warranty registration

 

[Budzbuddha]

What’s the strain ( s ) photobombing you from the rear ?

 

[xtsho]

Probably spoils from those looted trains.

I think they are either old stock or refurbished. The little sponge thing stuck to the bulb when I pulled it out. The bulb also was fully hydrated, but I can't remember if that's normal or not. It calibrated fine and seems accurate, so whatever. Someone's loss, my gain for hopefully long enough to get my money's worth.

On the left is Gushers OG, in the middle (you can't see) is Gucci Links and on the right is Slushers, which is straight fire. All Cannarado genetics.

I mean it works and it was cheap. It doesn’t have any sort of wear and tear that I can see and the bulb is clean. So it’s probably reconditioned. If it last half a year it was worth it really. Bluelab pens are expensive right now. This was a bad time to need one.

I’m also in the middle of buying a ton of new equipment, including a nice par meter and a pricey automated watering system. My last pen of 6 years died right after buying the par meter, so whatever. It was a gamble and we’ll see if it pays off or not. So far so good.

It could be a bargain it looks fine to me.

Bluelab has a excellent customer service send them a email with the serial number they'll tell you how old it is and confirm it's authentic.

That would be my guess too, bought out from somewhere that closed shop, old stock, etc. If the bulb was wet and it calibrates it's probably good to go but calling BlueLab would be smart too. Plus if there IS something shady going on, give them a clue so they can shut it down.

when they start getting old it seems like they take longer to settle on a reading.

I just noticed that it was a lot faster than my previous 6 year old pen. So it’s at least not that old. Ha.

 

[Star Dog]

I tried to contact them but apparently my @GoogleMail address is invalid, if they posted to the UK I'd buy one at that price.

I don't need one atm but its one of them things I know I'll need to replace at some point.
