Good catch! I just got a Harbor Freight flier a couple of days ago. That tumbler is on sale for $39.99 and from the picture it appears that the double barrel tumbler is blue.  This is a classic eBay sale thing. People buy stuff on sale at HF then put it on eBay for what it would sell at retail or more hoping some sucker will come along and buy it. I don't know if they have done anything other than change the paint color to improve the quality. Maybe someone should take one for the team and buy one and see. Maybe if I've got an extra $40 rolling around in my pocket after this weekend's show... |

Not on sale online or I'd buy one jut to get a couple more barrels. Even if they have not changed anything else thats a great price for 2 barrels.

Several months ago I took one of my worn out CE's back before the year warranty was up and the new one I got is black. Looks like they figured out nobody wanted the red ones,so they are apparently changing colors to try to fool people, in my opinion.

Would not a rose by any other color still stink?

Interesting! A few years back, ebay sellers would show a Lortone blue (as in color = Lortone blue) tumbler in the auction pictures and then state in the auction that the tumbler you receive could be red or blue. The were obviously bulk/stock descriptions, and I remember asking a couple different sellers about the color of the specific one that would ship to me should I win the auction. I also asked a couple times if I could specify that I wanted a blue one like the one pictured. Every single time they would then state that they "believed" this auction was for a red tumbler...
