    Default Radio Shack: Cobra sales through the roof

    So I stopped by radio shack today to get some batteries and all that good stuff. While browsing through, I saw an Cobra XRS 9640 hanging up on the shelf.

    When I went to pay for my batteries, I brought myself to ask the question: Do those POS Cobras really sell? His response: We can never stock enough of them. (There was only 1 left).

    So sad that all these people have $150 ticket notifiers (and V1 agitators) in their vehicle now.

    Just thought I'd share that.

    Well it serves them right. They are un-informed and they think they can travel 15-20mph+ with one of those. Too bad for them

    I know some one that works at that hell hole and he asked me which RD he should sell people because he feels bad about selling them a worthless pos..so i took a look at what they had and....its all CRAP

    he said he had this lady buy one for her husband and i quote " he doesn't speed...he just doesn't wear his seat belt and maybe one of these can give him a heads up when there's a cop around"

    Classic....

    Just 1 of the 80% of RD owners who don't understand why they are called Radar Detectors, as opposed to Police Detectors.

    Cobra must get more calls from poor schmucks who still got a ticket than they do for sales and support. Then again, it serves them right for their false and/or misleading advertising. They market them similarly to that of an Escort or a Bel.

    I heard Cobra has a new feature for their RD's. A turkey temp indicator that pops up when you get pulled over
    Ask about the upgrade at your nearest Radio Slack.

    Nah, that won't be a best seller since most users will forget to reset the popup indicator.

    And you're going to believe what some minimum-wage punkass salesman at Radio Shaft tells you? This guy probably just lost his sales job at the car dealership and is working for Radio Shaft because they will hire anybody.

    The most likely explanation is that they only ordered one to begin with, and the one you see sitting there on the shelf is the same one they've had for the last 5 years.
