Magazine test winner. Detects X, K, Ka(Gatso), Ku & Laser. All bands are selectable, making it great for European trips. Front & rear detection. Digital voice & LED text warning of band & signal strength.

Boxed & in perfect condition with manual, case & all accessories.

I bought this in February 2000 for £395.00, I am now selling because I've changed my Scoob for a family 4x4.

Location: Bridgwater, Somerset

Offers?
nick@nickhill.net

 

Ill start the bidding @ £100

 

I'll give you £150 for it.

 

Thanks Guys

ptholt is the highest offer so far, I'll keep it open until the middle of this week (Wednesday).

 

To keep everything straight, I'll post any email offers on here.

Current best offer is £160 by email.

 

the £160 is me

 

To answer a few questions I've had by email.

The detector can detect X band, however X band is not in use (by the police) in the UK & is switched off. Any band can easily be switched on or off.

The digital voice warning is a bit of a sales gimmick. It can be disabled if required. (I currently have it disabled).

The is a dim & dark option for the display. There is also city & highway settings. However, on the Bell, the city setting keeps K detection at full power & just cuts X band. As X band isn't in use by the police here, city mode is not much use. However, we all keep to the speed limit in the city, right?

The detector is good enough that I can trust it to overtake past a Gatso - you know - the ones on straight bits of road....

I am not a dealer, I am selling the detector that I used without problems for just over a year. The detector was perfect in use & I could trust it every time.

If anyone wants to discuss it on the phone, I can give you my phone number by email.

 

Sale closing 12:00 midday Wednesday. The best offer of £160.00 is from Dom.

 

I've got the Bell 980(no ka band) and have been very impressed by it's accuracy. As Nick says, so good is it's detection of Gatsos that I no longer slow down just in case (in the right circumstances). On average I expect around 200 to 400 yds notice. Certainly saved me a couple of times.

Steve.

 

Will offer £185.

£195

 

Hmmm - not sure what happens now

its still 11.59 by me

 

Sold to Rich Curtis for £195.00

Thanks to everyone for being good sports & congrats to Rich (email on it's way).

Sorry you missed it Kim, get the Bell 550 or Valentine 1, but shop around for them.

 

that'll teach me for having to pick up my son from playschool, ah well maybe next time

 

What a bargain!

I just paid over 300squid for the Bel550 which is virtualy the same model. if you can wait until thursday i've got a m8 was was also going to get a 550 and would definitely be interested in yours for that price.

btw. is it just me or are most of the gatso's not working?

haven't got enough confidence to blast past them yet.

 

Thanks Richard, but I have promised everyone a Wednesday close. My aim is not to eek out the most dosh, but to be as fair as I can.

You're right - most Gatso's don't work apart from special areas when they're almost always active.

Steve, I think that it's Ku that your's can't pick up. Ku is those nasty mobile Gatso's. Thanks for the support Steve.

I had a slightly higher offer (than Dom) via email last night. However I will only look at offers on the BBS which I think is more fair for everyone.

 

So whats the current bidding?

I'll go to £165 if thats still a relevant figure.

 

Scoobylover

Any relation to ptholt?

 

yes, he was supposed to be buying this for me but said it went too high.

(he's already bought another device and I didnt want to be left out).

 

OK Di no problem.

Scoobylover is the current highest bid at £165.00.

Future bids in lots no smaller than £5 please. If there is a flurry of bids towards midday - the winning bid will be the one just before or on 12:00 midday as per the Scoobynet timestamp. Even if there is a higher bid after 12:00 or by email, I will still take the bid just before or on 12:00 exactly. Is that fair?

Payment either by cleared cheque, or cash. I will pay for postage & insurance. Or you can collect & I can show you how it works. (It's not rocket science though..)

- Nick

 

oh well..

 

Why the grumpy face Dom?

Too rich for you, or something I said?

 

i'm in 2 minds whether to continue bidding or buy a Euro550....

 

Oh OK Dom, no probs.

I hear that the 550 is practically the same as mine. So you'd be fine with either. Whatever you do - don't go for a cheapo one - they're a complete waste of time. Bell is good - as is the Valentine 1.

 

I've 99.9% sealed the deal for the Whistler..
Is this any good?

Mail me for "offline" comments if you want

I don't know. Try & find someone who has one. Is the RRP less than £300?

 

Dom

Email inbound to you, Ive got the 980, exactly the same without ka band (not used in the u.k) Chris borrowed it to test with all his on board gizmos....I will try and find his email...

Jase

 

Am I too late with a bid for £175

My m8 lives local to you (Brean)and can pick it up at the weekend if thats ok so you can save on the hassle and cost of postage.

 

well how can i resist, i can't have hubby having one for his car and me getting nicked by a camera so i'll give £180

 

You're not too late Rich & currently the leading offer!

Oops - pipped at the post!
