    Default Something I found interesting on Amazon

    If you look on Amazon at the 8500 X50 it shows you what customers acutally bought after viewing that item.

    After viewing the X50, 79% buy it, 5% buys the 9500i. Less that 5% buy the V1.

    But after customers view the V1, 38% buy it, 26% buy the X50, and 14% buy a Cobra! how do you go from considering a V1 to buying a Cobra??? :shock:

    Also, the X50 is $237 on Amazon

    Don't forget there are various dealer links on amazon, so you could of bought it from a different dealer. Amazon is not authorized, so you are taking your chances.

    Probably people who do their "research" via Google... they punch in "radar detector" and hit the first site that comes up (Amazon perhaps), then look at the items, they see V1 and think "too expensive", then see the $30 Crapra and say "that's more like it!" :shock:
