look all the brand new ones are 400+
and you will have to wait for the other ones to end biding to see the final price. it not worth it after bid on it fro 300 get it then you have to pay shiping then you have to send it in for the better version and your well over the orig price. trust me i have been researching them on ebay for awile ive yet to find a good deal.

thats because you should look for a cheap older used one. Then you send it in and get a new one for the cost of the upgrade and the cost of an old *** v1. I have seen old modles go for 150 bucks and less.

Valentine v1's > anything else. They are local here in Cincy, and in their showroom, they will directly compare their unit with the only other real competition right now, which is the Escort 8500 X50. Valentine one has over a mile coverage, 360 degrees. On top of that, if the police come out with some kind of need detection method, you can send it back to Valentine, and they will upgrade your unit for free. Also the arrows are awesome too. If only they weren't so damn butt ugly though....
