EBAY = STEALBAY with their F'n fees.... it's the total you're looking at not the shipping.
Say you sell something for $400 on Ebay. You've got $330 into it. You've gotta go through PayPal for safety. Ebay charges .052% of winning bid not including shipping. that's $20.80 to them. Then, PayPal charges .033% (roughly) which is about $13. $12+$20.80 = $32.80 on G0D D$MNED FEES!... $400-$330-$32.80 = $37.20 profit instead of $70 profit. If you cut down on Winning price you cut down on Fees. Ebay says it may or may not be illegal to do because they want their F'n money for doing nothing at all except be a median.

okay superman
lol
all the ones i have seen, the radar hangs right below the mirror... warranting an obstruction of view ticket from the po po.
i guess if you dont have a concealed display and want the radar in your face all the time go ahead and mike it up.
My V1 is mounted with the windshield mount up behind the mirror where there is no way it is even in view unless you look up. the concealed display is right next to 8k rmp's.

You said the Mount itself obstructed the view...which it does not. And even if you are talkin about the radar itself, it DOES not obstruct any view at all. I guess maybe with your huge V1 it may be a problem, but not with an X50. And by mounting it up and behind the mirror you have it placed behind the dark tint film which you are not supposed to be doing anyways for optimal reception.
