Wierd. I remember asking a sales guy at Musicians Friend exactly what "blemished" meant and he said that they (in sales) never really know the extent to which something is blemished. So I picked up my second EDP as "blemished" with the same savings and it took me a few days to finally find the almost invisible scratch on the bottom that landed the unit on the blemished shelf. Other than that, it was mint. Glenn > -----Original Message----- > From: David J.
