    Default Price??

    hey all, this might be a stupid question...but bear with me, im a newbie here

    How come online vendors and ebay have V1's priced around $499 and in the 500's when going to V1's actual website it is only $399.

    Something doesnt make sense here....

    Your right something doesn't make sense. Don't believe any of that crap on fleebay. There is an explanation but since your new I won't go into it. Don't buy it from there.

    It might be from vendors for $499 you get the carrying case and from VR for $399 you get just the RD. I'm not for sure but maybe somebody else will commit on this.

    haha, thanks

    i wasnt planning on getting one from ebay, i want a new one. But you would think that other online sites that sell electronics would price them slightly cheaper or discounted so people will buy from them....instead of just getting on straight from the manufacturer

    VR only sells to the US, if your overseas and want a v1, ebay or other vendors are the way to go.......the other vendors know this and as such can charge more.............is atleast one reason why

    I contact the e bay seller ,selling so called"Programmed" V1 for $499
    and here is reply
    I asked him ,how come programmed v1 cost $499??

    "I still don't know what your problem is. Anyone can program a V1. I even incude the program guide as a hard copy. There is no one else selling a Valentine cheaper to and within Europe than me. Valentine does not ship outside the USA (but you know that already). And I carry the risk if a Valentine gets lost in the mail or is confiscated by customs (in most countries outside the US radar detectors are not permitted but you probably know that too) and I even refund the customs fees. Nobody has to buy a Valentine from me. There are plenty of choices. "

    It has to be the overseas sells. Why buy from ebay if the price is even close. Trust me, I buy and sell a few RD on Ebay. It only works with Escort. One of the beauties of the V1 it holds its price forever. If you want a V1 suck it up and buy from Valentine, the latest and greatest with full warranty. Save 50 bucks somewhere else.

    Simple. The eBay sellers are trying to rip off people who are new to radar detectors. Most people have no idea how much a new V1 costs and think they can find a good deal on eBay.
