FS: Escort 8500 X50 Radar Detector

This is the red model.

Used for about 2.5 years. I have everything from the box, manual, cover to the box, suction cups, holder, smart cord. EVERYTHING


This unit is great, showing really no wear whatsoever and has saved me a million times. I really can't imagine life without a unit this good.


$210 shipped.

Who cares.... it's $150.... pretty darn cheap.

I'm gonna order Sharper Image gift certificate soon from my Discover card (twice the cash rewards).... and then buy one from Sharper Image in DE when I'm there.... so it'll be 100% free for me

You can only use one Sharper Image Rewards card per purchase only. Unless in Deleware, there's some special rule (to which I'd be very interested in knowing about).

You're right

But hey... there's eBay.... where I'll likely be able to get 90% of the value.

So... w/ $360 worth, I think I will still be able to get one for free
