    Default Want Valentine One

    I'd like to purchase a Valentine One and need your input. When I do a web search for "Valentine One" I find there are many places from which to purchase. All but Valentine charge ~ $500, but if I order directly from Valentine the price is $399. What's up with that? Why would one pay more than $399?

    Thanks in advance for your help,


    Bill

    VR does ship to Canada as well, but only in the provinces where they are legal though, plus shipping is $60 to $70. I just received mine today. I can't wait to try it out tomorrow morning.

    Sssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Is that a question that nobody is suppose to ask because it makes certain website backers look so so?

    It just doesn't make much sense to me. I asked the guy at VR about it and he urged me to buy diect from them. He said VR did not sell the units to Amazon and all the other people selling them. Well, they came from somewhere. I thought I had it figured out in that some of those selling them are included an extended warranty.

    As to the politics of the matter, I'm not trying to raise anyone feathers. Just trying to understand something that seems to make little sense, unless it is the fact, as has been stated, that VR doesn't ship internationally so these other guys are filling the void and making a few bucks in the process.

    LOL I consider Canada part of the US
    Lol. In many ways I wish it were. Prices on most things in the U.S. are still a lot cheaper than here, even though the dollar is pretty much on par.

    VR: you have 30days to return it in case you decide you dont like it for whatever reason and you know you will get the latest version.
