Why does everyone else charge 500 for a valentine 1 when valentine 1 only charges 400

I just wanted to know whey every other website that sells valentine 1 radar/laser detectors sell it for 499 when you can go direct to valentine 1's website to buy it for 399? Am I missing something? Is there something less you get with ordering it from V1? Are they out of stock?


Edit- Also....for all of you that have a V1, where did you get it from and how much was it?


Thanks.

From my research Euro LEO uses different radar and laser signals/frequencies than in the US. Can someone confirm this is correct? Does this mean that V1 euro edition will catch US and Euro frequencies or just Euro frequencies?

^^The V1.8 with Euro mode and POP2 will work in the US just fine, these are extra features added to make it more $$. I got mine on Ebay for 258$ plus 25 for a hardwire kit and 25 for "Mikes mount" best money spent IMO

My understanding is that Valentine Research is the only actual place to get a V1 (think of how Dell was a few years ago) so anyone you buy it from had to get it from VR first. I got mine direct from them. Oh, just one note: they shipped mine FedEx and required an "adult" signature, and by adult they meant 21 (or maybe it was 25, i don't remember) and since I was only 19 at the time, FedEx wouldn't give it to me.

I don't know anything about the Euro version or anything.

I thought the ONLY place you can get them is off the website, soooooooo....

The guys selling them fro $500 are just making a $100 profit cause they buy them there also.

Pro Tip: If you call and ask for Refurd version, you'll get 10% off. But you have to CALL and ASK for it
