Nice to know there is ONE out there for sale at an AD. Sorry but I would have had to purchase it. I would get some flak but it would be worth it.

I’m pretty shocked that you didn’t buy it. Even priced super low to flip extra fast you’d still make great money.

You probably could have told your BLNR for more than the AD purchase price of the BLRO if you wanted.

To each their own. The next guy will sure be happy. I bet there’s folks on this forum calling every AD in Kansas right now.... how many can there be?

Well played, sir!

This is either going to happen at an AD in the mid western US or at an Airport AD that doesn't take lists.

Goodwork and congrats.

...I think a new wife would be easier to source than the chances of stumbling across another SS BLRO that's not reserved right about now..lol

Nice, you did the right thing!

I'm very, genuinely, incredibly happy for you that you just happened across one in an AD's case and not at all jealous or upset that my AD says mine is still over a year out even though I texted them within 2 minutes of release and have spent a lot of money with them... *screams into pillow*

In all seriousness, that's an awesome find, congrats, and enjoy it!
