Default OT: looking to trade/sell 6 day old Escort 8500, details inside

Sorry for posting sale stuff here, but the marketplace is a ghost town compared to the forum.

I bought this locally because I needed a radar detector for driving up to NJ from Orlando. I wasn't in the market for one so I want to get cash back. I get return it to BestBuy and get hit with a 15% restocking fee, or try to sell/trade.

Cost at BB last week was $284 (sale price). Which came to $302 after 6% FL sales tax.

Looking at eBay now, there's a bunch of brand new ones on auction and the highest is at $250. I'm guessing it'll go to around $260-265, then $13 shipping, so that's pretty clost to the sale price I paid at BestBuy.

...So, I'm looking to get $280 total (that's shipped to your door), OR, a trade for something of like value (or more value + cash).

What I have in mind for trade would be A4 Euro projectors, since that's something I'd like to get next for my car. So something to the effect of 8500 + $50 would be an even swap in my mind for euro projectors.

I'm also potentially interested in the new model (smaller) V1 as a trade + cash deal.

Default Here is the difference...

The model on the left is newer than the model on the right.

Another view....

Both are laser models, both identical spec wise. They moved the laser "window" (that little dot) up into the display under the "Valentine One" logo...
