Good luck.

Yeah. Just happened to my friend. Cop estimated she was going 80 to 90 in a 60. She said she was actually doing about 100.

Potential bad news for the people who took advantage of this "deal"

From

http://www.radarbusters.com/products...onics/rx65.asp




Overstock Selling USED as NEW!



The following is a "Live Chat" between Radar Roy and "Rodney" who is a customer service rep with Overstock.com

Welcome to Overstock.com's Live Chat! Your estimated wait time is 0 minutes and 7 seconds.

Welcome to Overstock.com, you are now chatting with 'Rodney'
Rodney: Thank you for visiting Overstock.com's secure live chat. How may I help you today?

Radar Roy: Escort and Beltronics tell me that you're not an authorized dealer and that I would not have a warranty if I buy from you, is this true

Rodney: I would be happy to help you with that.
Rodney: Than you for staying online.
Rodney: Thank
Rodney: This item is factory reconditioned.

Radar Roy: Ok, so these are NOT new units?

Rodney: It has got 30 day's warranty.

Radar Roy: What happens after 30 days?

Radar Roy: And what happens when there is a software update? Can I still get them?

Rodney: If the item is defective you can return.

Radar Roy: After 30 days?

Rodney: Yes.

Radar Roy: How about software updates

Rodney: This item is fast selling on our web site. Once sold out don't know when it when it will be in stock.
Rodney: That's a great choice.

Radar Roy: Ok, just don't want to get stuck with a product that I cannot use if it breaks, as it is a used unit.

Rodney: Download from the Net

Radar Roy: No you cannot, it has to be sent back to the factory for this and they said that they would not do it as you're not an authorized reseller

Rodney: Factory-reconditioned products maintain high quality standards.

Rodney: Each item is checked at least twice for proper working condition and quality. In fact, reconditioned goods have a very low (2-percent) rate of return.
Rodney: The price you pay for a reconditioned item is much lower than at retail (sends link of 30 day warranty)

Radar Roy: Reading that page, says nothing about if I need the unit upgraded and how to get it upgraded through that plan. So if the factory is the only place I can get updates, and they will not honor the units that you sell, then I am basically screwed?

Rodney: You will have to download from the net and upgrade it.

Radar Roy: They don't have updates on the net! The unit has to be sent in to the factory for the updates!

Rodney: May I please have the catalog number for the item you are interested in?

Radar Roy: http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2....d=2178262&AK=1
Rodney: So that I will be ableto give you more information.
Radar Roy: When I read this page, there is nothing about the unit being factory reconditioned!

Rodney: Thank you for the link.
Rodney: Are you referring to the Escort Passport 8500 X50 Red Radar Detector at $279.95?

Radar Roy: Yes

Rodney: Thank you for the confirmation.

Rodney: And this does not have our website warranty.
Rodney: However, you do have a manufacturer warranty and you can go for our Platinum Protection Product Plan.

Radar Roy: No, Escort says that it does NOT have a factory warranty as you're not a authorized dealer

Rodney: I will assure you that if you purchase the Platinum Protection Plan You have the warranty for two years. if you have any problem with the item you can contact us.

Radar Roy: Ok,so I pay an extra 30.00 for your warranty, then I paid more then what I can buy it new with a factory warranty. I spend an extra $10.00 for a used unit. Doesn't make sense to me, but ok, thank you for your time

I just received and installed my X50 yesterday. I did not see any reference on the overstock website about the units being reconditioned. I also does not indicate anything of that nature on the packaging of the unit. I have previously owned an X50. this unit looks and performs as well as my previous unit. I tested K-band sensitivity last night.
