  1. #1

    Default good deal?

    hey guys, i have oppurtunity to purchase a unit with v1.7 for less than buck 50.(dunno if i can express actual amount for fear of rule violation)

    And we all know it cost a certain amount to upgrade to v1.8 Would you say its an alright deal?

    I would def take it. That is EXTREMELY cheap. Even if it is dead on a couple bands, the cost to upgrade it plus the cost to buy it is still less than a new V1.

    Check the serial # with VR to make sure it's not stolen. If it is they will not upgrade it.

    i checked the serial..used the upgrade option to check. It says im able to upgrade to v1.8. Should i be looking elsewhere to see if its stolen?

    If the serial number checks out, then you are good to go. Just be sure to call VR again after you buy it and register the V1 under your name.

    Call or email them to check and make sure it's not stolen.

    cool thanks guys. Does it really make that much of a diff..v1.7 and v1.8? Pop mode and the likes? I realised u do get alot new things added on with the upgrade.

    You want to upgrade from version 1.7 to 1.8. You gain more than POP detection by doing so.

    Contact VR by phone, the serial # must be on the unit and you need a clear verification the unit is not stolen.

    Then if the unit is in good working condition, go ahead and buy it.
