received used V1. Not detecting jack

Related to this thread.

I searched Craigslist and found a V1.7.........the guy was asking $250.

I ran the serial, upgrade is $189 and you do get a brand new unit according to V1.

I got him down to $200, we shall see if the deal goes through.

Luckily he's local, so I plan on showing up and plugging his unit and making sure it works.

$200 + $189 = $389. That basically saves you $10, then you still have to pay to ship it to VR. Why not just buy a new one?

Well, I don't have to upgrade it immidately, plus I might sell it to a friend.

I also notice that on the list of things included in the upgrade, you get all the mounting hardware, manual and a bunch of crap I don't need, so maybe I can talk them down on the price.

so pissed! FedEx told me this AM that they wouldnt try to deliver the (sig required) V1 until AFTER noon, so I went to work with that in mind. Then I checked the tracking and saw that at 9:50AM they tried to deliver it, and left because I wasnt there. Now I'm waiting (for an hour so far) for them to contact the driver so I can meet him to get it before the holiday. Closest FedEx place (where theyd have me pick it up) is an hour away.

Thats why I always get crap delivered to my job.

If the driver won't come back, my bet is you'll drive the hour

Kinda hard when you work on a Navy base. DoD doesnt really approve of allowing FedEx on base. Especially for a radar detector.

True. But I won't have to. I met the driver and programmed it in the parking lot. I just got back. Falses werent too bad compared to the 9500i once I programmed it, but I didnt have any real encounters as of yet. Its amazing how many bogies it picks up in a shopping center. I had 6 or 7 I think.

I'll enjoy the next 4 days testing it out. I think my favorite part of the V1 will be having arrows at night when you can't see where one is hiding..

But my 9500i (blue) is FAR from replacement at this point.

Why not just order a new one from VR, you are only saving $11.

That looks like a new rev. I think you might have the first one of these. It certainly is brand new.

more new revs man it sucks my v1 aint brand new no more. I wonder what did they change this time.
