    Radar Detector : Escort 8500 - who wants one?

    I am very close to ordering a couple of these gizmos from the US and save bucks on the NZ retail price, but the cost difference between shipping 2 and shipping 3 is US$10, so who out there in KB land is keen for one?

    here's some guff:

    NZ site/shop : NZ$1200 +GST

    US site: US$299 (NZ$500)

    US review site:
    http://www.radartest.com/article.asp?articleid=1026

    if you compare their ratings to the well known Valentine 1, the Escort kicks ass

    shipping for 2 is US$89, 3 is US$99

    they will attract GST/duty tax on the way in, so the approximate price per unit if 3 are ordered may be a bit over NZ$600 each.

    payment details will have to be worked out of course, my credit card has a very low limit and wouldn't stretch very far... (4 or 5 units)

    PS. I am keen to order ASAP (by end of week)

    PPS. I could always buy 2 for myself and sell the 2nd for profit, so if I do this expect an ad back here for atleast NZ$800
