I think a GD would be hard to do for this product. I got mine from Car Domain for $259 + shipping ($273 total)

Possible Deal? check it out

Ok guys/gals,

This is what I have done. I've emailed several vendors out there and got ourselves a deal on one vendor depending on how many people want in on this deal. I will paste the email on here and you can either PM me or email me directly. If we have enough people here to get these radar detectors, then we should go ahead with the deal. Please read on and tell me if you want in on this deal..

Hello Andrew!

Like we mentioned on our page we welcome group buys with open arms, they are great for us and yourself!

We give great deals for any of our items. If you are interested in solo 2 or passport we can give great deals if you buy in quantity, We get them in cases of 24 so we have them available if you buy alot. On the sr7 we can give the best deal on the net in individual sales since these are pricey items, retail like 1200!!!

We have done this before.

Here is what we can do. Our price on the website is the best you will find anywhere shipped by the way, so here we go.

Escort Passport 8500
Sales Price
> 5 266.95<------the best deal you will find anywhere SHIPPED!!!
5 - 10 265.95
11- 15 264.49
16-20 262.95
20 < 259.95 <----- NOW THATS A GOOD DEAL!

SOLO 2

> 10 318.49 <-------- The best deal you will find on these! SHIPPED
15-20 316.95
21 < 314.95 SHIPPED!!!

SR7

ANYONE WHO WANTS ONE GETS IT FOR $675

Tell me what site you will be doing this group buy so i can see how it is going as well as answer any questions.

Group buy offer ends on 3-2-2003, that gives you two weeks which is more than enough time to get the people you need.

Refer them to www.rgvnow.com

This is how we do the payments and counts.

Whom ever wants to buy a detector will send a deposit of one penny to reallygreatvalues@yahoo.com through paypal stating which one they want.

At the end of the two weeks we will make a count of how many were sold and the price you need to pay and display it on our webpage or whereever you are posting the group buy.

Once everyone pays we will ship out all the items at once. If anyone wants an 8500 for the 267.95 just buy it from our site or solo 2 do the same.

Make sure to state that we will only ship to USA confirmed paypal addreses. If you have any canadian buyers we will charge $13 shipping.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Thanks
Eric J.

Hello,

I was wondering if you do quantity of these Escort Radar Detectors by the bulk. I\'m part of an organization who deals with Nissan Maximas. We are constantly helping each other to get \'group deals\' on certain pieces of merchandise by quantity and of course by quality. Last but not least we are also searching for a reputable dealer who can give us the product at a good rate and maintain a good service quality with their cusotmers. Would it be possible for us to get a deal on 20 or 30 or even 50 of these if we can get the people together for this? If so, please let me know. Thank you.

Wow! Good job in wrangling a deal. I think its better to buy now through their web page vs. wait two weeks to save a buck don't you?

These are supposedly better than Valentine One.

There is a TON of debates on this subject of Valentine1 vs. Passport 8500. I just got this deal for the passport. Lets not discuss the quality of these detectors as you can find it via search, lets discuss just the deal.

But I think the wait is a good deal. Just wait and the savings would be worth it. I hope more people would get into this deal.

Thats a good deal!!!

These people have good feeback on ebay so you can trust them. Im in!

I'll probably buy it from the site though, since it is already a great deal.

I have been looking for a good deal on these because you cant find them cheap on ebay anymore besides finding a used one.

Thanks.

Its only $1 off for 5 - 10 people + 2week or more wait. I doubt you would get more people then that on the org. You might as well buy it from the site...or have him give better pricing.

I sell the Escort line where I work. I can hook up anybody on the Escort radar detectors. Only one catch, you have to have a Tweeter, HIFI Buys or Sound Advice store near you. The company does not allow me to ship stuff out anymore. If you know someone near a Tweeter store, see if he/she can pick one up for you and mail it out.

Escort 8500 (need I say more?)
$249.00

Escort Solo2 (cordless radar and laser detector)
$269.00

Escort ZR3 (Laser detector + Laser shifter)
$279.00

Escort SR1
$499.00 (discontinued, but a few left. Normally $599.00)

Escort SR7 (the ultimate)
$719.00 (normally $899.99. Replacement for the SR1)

Let me know what you guys think about the pricing. Again, this is pick up only at any Tweeter, HIFI Buys or Sound Advice near you.

check out their website for specs and details

sorry, I don't carry the SRX. Escort sells the SRX mainly to dealers. The SR7/ZR3 package is the SRX. I write up the sale at my store with the quoted prices. I call the store in advance to let them know you will be showing up. You pay for the gear at the time of pick up. Sales tax is added at 8.25% (San Diego County tax rate).

I just got my passport 8500 and was pretty confident until I saw this in my local paper last Sunday --

Store location is up to you. Stores in obvious states don't carry them.
