Buying V1
Should i order the latest V1 from their website for $399.99 or eBay? I noticed they are selling for over $450 on eBay. What's the difference?

Re: Buying V1
The difference is that the people selling on eBay are doing two things:
1. Playing middle man for Europeans, who cannot buy direct from V1
2. Ripping off Americans stupid enough to pay fifty extra dollars

Re: Buying V1
Nuff said. Buy from Valentine. You will have the latest and greatest and full warranty. I watched Ebay for a while before I bought mine. They usually bring more than new price or need a serious upgrade. Nothing better than getting it new in the box.

Buy it from valentine.
If you call in, you can get a discount off that 400$ price too.
Anyways, shy away from ebay unless that is your only option. For the US and Canada, you can order from Valentine directly, and you should.
Anyways, eBay isn't guarenteed to be legit either for the V1's... alot of stolen ones end up on there quite a bit.
