    Nice to see cobras replaced by whistlers. How much was the 695 going for?

    We have two Wal-marts that I know of in the area that carry just Whistler.

    Opposite of your experience, another had a full line of just Whistler, started to carry some Cobra, went back a week later and all the Whistlers were gone and only Cobra on the shelf. When I asked why, was told the Whistlers weren't selling but the Cobra's were.

    All the other Wal-Marts in the area that I know of carry just Cobra. One even had the GPS model.

    At least some local area Wal-Marts carry Whistler. I think the XTR 695 is going for about $199.

    The Walmart in my small town still carries Cobras. Keep in mind that this particular store manager is an idiot. That may have something to do with it.

    One of the wal marts carried Cobras, I told someone in sporting goods that the cobra detectors didn't work well. He asked what I'd like to see. I told him Whistler detectors. I come back a few weeks later and they have a bunch of whistlers and the cobras are on clearance. I bought the xtr 695 from that Wal Mart instead of buying it online because I was happy that they got what I asked for.
