How to Get a Bel or Escort Radar Detector from an Authorized Dealer Below Authorized Price

Here's what happens: You go online looking for a high quality Beltronics or Escort Radar Detector and find a wide range of prices. The Authorized Dealers (the legitimate guys) have their units listed at full price while the Ebayers and Unauthorized Dealers are turning these out at prices that are sometimes below dealer cost (???). There's a reason that the Authorized guys are listed at those prices - they have to!! Why? Because Bel and Escort have an IUMRPP program that states that if anyone is caught listing below the retail price that they will no longer be an authorized dealer.

But here's the catch. Authorized dealers CAN and WILL sell below retail, giving you a better deal and you can still have the full warranty and serial numbers. How will they do it? Call them. That's right - they cannot advertise a lower price online but they can sell at whatever price they want! But don't haggle them too bad. If you get a good deal take it - so what if it's a little more than the unauthorized punks - it's legit!

By the way, I was on Ebay today and noticed that there are a couple of Authorized Dealers on there. You may be able to throw an offer their way through ebay and see if they bite. It can't hurt to try. If you get a good deal let me know and I will let people know where you got it.

In the meantime...I gotta get back to busting the Bad Radar Guys! I wonder if Bel and Escort are ever going to do anything about it.
