Anyone that sells a blem ball thru this site or ebay should aleast state why it is a blem. It is a color blems, shell blems, air bubble blems, pin blems or whatever the case is.
I had the same problem on ebay were a guy sold me 4 balls,but in his written ad,not 1 place did it say there were blems. But I was lucky,as the balls were pin blems where they had pins all 5" or more out. So it worked out for me great.
But these people did not always tell the complete story about the balls they are selling. Yes anything with X-out should raise questions and at that point you should email the seller and ask him directly what the blem is?? And if he does not answer or says they can not look at all the balls,then I would take my business elsewhere.

If you knock down 10 pins always smile,no matter how they fell. An X on the 1st ball is 1 step closer to 300.

I don't know if he modified the description since this topic was started, but the description now includes the following, in large type:

X-OUT
 
THE REASON IT'S FOR  X-OUT IS BECAUSE THE COLOR IS SLIGHTLY OFF

Seems pretty clear to me...

The problem with sellers stating what the blem is...is that most times they themselves don't know for certain what the blem is.  When I buy a ball described as a color blem and find out that the mass bias is mis-marked by 4 inches....I tend to feel a little mislead.  If you pay them Chevette money, then don't expect a Corvette....plain and simple.  Easiest way to avoid this potential disaster is just dont buy a blem.
