Some of these people could even wait a week or 2 and could buy the premium unit when they get restocked.

^^^ Yep they sure are. That is why I decided that if could not get a premium either at launch or shortly there after, then I will buy the core unit and just upgrade that. There is no way I was gonna pay the outrages prices that they are going for on ebay.
If you look in the Black Market section on the forum, then you will see that someone is trying to sell a core unit for about $600.

Acura of shreveport are like the retarted red headed step children of the third kind... I'm suprised they didn't mount a new ECU in my front windshield and say they gave me a new radar detector (although nothing really shocks me with them, and thats coming from ME)
