So I finally got mine todayBig Smile [:D] About a 5 week lead time from order to delivery. Not complaining just informing.

They still are having the sale very limited selection.

Well, better late than never!

I think they were overwhelmed with responses. I'm kicking myself that I didn't get a couple of other airbrushes at the same time, and now they're sold out! 

So long folks!

A return mail from Dino was here when I got home.

My Feb 1st Garage Sale order will ship today or tomorrow via UPS.....better to have it coming than not to get it at all.

I appreciate that response  H3Nav...I mailed the Garage Sale addy after the first 10 days....Dino told me (in email) the lead time was 10-15 days, even though the site said 5-10 days....so I've been waiting....I went ahead and mailed him back tonight.

Thanks again!

Call Badger and ask to speak with Dino.  He is the guy running the Garage Sale.  I had the same situation happen with the four airbrushes that I ordered and he personally walked to the warehouse and shipped it out as we spoke.  Great customer service as they always strive to right whatever wrongs that happen.

I ordered 2 AB's, and the same hose BGrigg did....very nice prices.

I ordered on Feb 1st. Mail has arrived today...the 27th....no package from Badger yet!

Even with their 10-15 day lead time.....it has been almost 2 more weeks. From Illinois to Connecticut?

Is it time to bi*ch in an email? Of course I have my receipt # as a reference.

My 100G just arrived and it looks good. It has "100GB" x'ed out and "DEMO" stamped on the another side. Can't wait to try it out.

Update: I like it. It sprays better than my Richpen 113C.

Badger, thank you! Big Smile [:D]

My Omni 4000 just came in yesterday.  Mine has "Omni 5000 USA" xed out on it.  It also has a solid handle.  Not that it matters to me, but I though it had a cut out handle.  

Can't wait to try it out.

Just received my Omni 4000 (sweet!) and spare 100LG along with the braided hose with moisture trap (which I forgot I ordered, so it was a nice surprise!).

From what I can see what looks like a messy solder job where the cup joins the body on the Omni, and the word "Demo" is engraved in the body where I would expect "Omni 4000".

The 100LG looks perfect except the engraving is completed mucked up, I don't care as it's basically for the parts only anyhow.

Terriffic deal no matter how you look at it! 

So long folks!

OK, first off I need a name as calling you, "Dirtball" seems a little crude. Laugh [(-D]

PM me your name and address my friend and I will send you this hose I don't need if you want it.

This is the hose. Used but in good condition with no leaks.

What is the "Bear" you are talking about? Is that Bear Air?

I have an extra 6' braided Badger hose here I do not need if you want it.

Come on over. Laugh [(-D]

  The body is heavy metal, but the back piece that screws off for the needle is a light aluminum I believe, if thats what your asking

You mean an Omni 4000 right? Wink [;)]

It should be the same fitting as all Badger fittings. Do you have a badger airhose?

Paypal hit my Visa on the 23rd. Badger emailed today and said later this week or beginning of next.

Not too sure I like that. Nope, not too sure at all.Disapprove [V]

I went to the Garage Sale last Friday night. Bought a 100LH and a 200 SG. Pickings are getting slim.....but I was ogling the gold plated one alsoWink [;)]

Paypay grabbed my cash right away, of course and notified me that my order would be shipped in 1-5 business days via ground. I hope that doesn't mean bicycle!

But both brushes came to $42 before shipping. I'll take it!

I got mine last week.  I paid via PayPal and received the airbrush about 10 days after ordering it.  They never sent a shipping confirmation but I wasn't expecting one either.  By the way, it worked great and I really like it.

I don't understand why it would take 2-4 week for production when these are advertised as "blems"

While I can't speak for Badger, I do run a production shop. We have a 'stock' rack of items for sale at a discount. When a customer wants one, it's pulled and sent through the production line to ensure it's working as a new product. That takes time and I would imagine that they are doing that through their repairs shop. We also don't do anything untill the item is paid for. It's just a guess mind you, but an educated one.
