Default the only retailer for new ones is valentine1.com

so you gotta find a used one.

ebay maybe, although I don't know anyone personally taht has sold one after buying it. They're pretty solid and thus you don't see a ton of em being sold used. If you do see them, they usually are posted pretty close to new price.

that said, I haven't checked ebay for them since i got mine this summer, you might have more luck now with finding a used one.

You could try Ebay, but why not spend the extra 20-30 dollars and buy one from Valentineone.com?

Default if you call v1 directly, you can ask for a refurbed unit.

Its pretty much brand new, its just that someone bought it and returned it within the 30-day refund policy.

Default actually, the way it works is that you can be put on a list to receive a unit

and the list was 13 people long in august. They average less than 10 returns a month. also, you only save like 30 bucks.


don't know how the holidays play into the whole scheme.

the bottom line is that it's really tough to find them under retail.

Default Be careful on Ebay ...

If you get an old unit you will spend just as much getting it upgraded as having bought the new unit in the first place direct from Valentine.

Default Ebay can be good and bad.

Most people are paying almost full retail to get it on ebay. Why not have some piece of mind and get it from Valentine.
