Hi...I have a Valentine One that I'm looking to unload. I haven't used it in years and it defintely needs to be upgraded. the serial # is as follows...SN# 9777380446.

It needs a new cigarette charger as the one i have is not working. But new accessories are included in the upgrade from Valentine.

Im a trusty seller..check out my Ebay ID, couturejeweler. I sell Rolex watches, and I have impeccable feedback. Please contact me directly at bradd.mellion@gmail.com.

Thanks,
Bradd

I have a ' vintage' Valentine One radar detector if interested. Came in the glovebox of a used Porsche I purchased. The owners manual indicates a purchase date of 1998. Seems to work fine, but the little holder clip tab on the power cord is broken....seems to stay in fine even without the tab. No idea what it's worth.

Ceenit, since yours is quite old, for someone to make good use of it you probably have to sell it for really cheap because the next owner has to pay a lot to have it updated. E60oholic I used to have an Escort Passport 8500 x50 and I always want to try something new so I'm gonna go with a V1 this time

Drove down to FL this week from NC, and used the old valentine one just to see if it still worked. Must say, I was pretty happy with it. Worked great, but now i have the bug to see how well a new model works

Just remember regardless of how good a radar system is (like my V1), if the cop hides behind a concrete wall then your screwed.
How I got my ticket a few weeks ago, lol.
(btw he clocked me going 66 in a 60 on the highway, asshole cop)

I would only buy them new, you never know if they have been dropped or not.

Yes. I don't rely on the radar detector as I've proven to myself that my eyes are the BEST detector versus any V1 or Escort radar out there. I bought a used V1 to swap out for a new one so I don't have to worry about a broken detector that a person might have dropped or something.
