    Yes, but cost much more to obtain one that doesn't need replating itself than replating one that's in such shape to need it. :p

    I had heard that RE outsources their plating services, so that makes sense.

    Fake news. I go down there all the time. I've seen the plating room and watched them working on it.

    Or old news, as I have not had experience with them in several years, perhaps bringing the plating service in house has helped them improve their business model?

    I suppose it's possible they outsourced early on, but I know they've been doing everything in house since at least 2015.

    I would have to go back and look, but I had referred a buddy to them quite awhile back. He lives in Phoenix, and was having some issues, and when he went to the shop, he was told it was out for plating. Their reviews lately have been stellar, so if a business can adapt and become better, that's great news.
