I just sold my Harley road tech radar detector on ebay for $737.  Does anyone have any idea why someone would pay that much it when it retails for 299.99.? I tried to sell it at a local swap meet back in the summer and couldn't give it away.  I almost passed out when I logged in and seen the final price. Just thought I would share this with you all incase anyone has one they want to sell.

Was it an overseas buyer?  Occaisonally I will sell something for a unexpectedly huge price, and it typically is overseas.  Sometimes they don't have access to the same stuff we do here in the States and a big price to us is a bargain for them...

I looked long and hard for mine...no way I'd sell!  The detector and both styles (EG & RG) of mounts are discontinued and out of stock EVERYWHERE. I spent hours trying to find a detector and a EG mount, calling dealers through-out the US ( Trev Deeley,the official CDN importer of all things HD, would not import them even though some provinces allow detectors). I'm pretty sure that I got the last new one in captivity!!( Dealer network now(finally updated!!!) shows that NO-ONE has one in stock....mine came from NOS Parts..they bought the inventory of some HD dealers that went under.)

They fit like nothing else......a mount molded to fit the dash....neat and clean...no wires.

The guts of it are a Passport 8500...a high-end high performance detector that is updatable by sending Escort. It's also ruggedized, water proofed, left-handed with bigger buttons for gloved hand use, brighter and louder than other car-based detectors.

I think they discontinued them to try and fix the high-speed wobble issues on the '08 and older badders...LOL

I could understand if that was the case but it went to texas.

Paying higher than retail on Ebay for HD and some other items is a mystery that I have witnessed and don't understand either. Spent months searching and bidding on leather Road King tour packs that were being won by others paying a lot more than they could buy one at any HD dealer. Maybe it's the thrill of bidding or something... I don't know?
