I had seen a retail price of 1499 for the SRX, but I just looked at Escort and Bel's websites (which were recently revised), and they are 1199 so I agree. Not sure what happened with the price or the page I saw before, but thank you for pointing out the error on my part.

With regards to purchasing on EBay. Anyone with any EBaying experience knows that EBay is both a blessing and a curse. EBay is a great site and offers some terrific opportunities. However, there's also a lot of junk product sold in EBay. Most notably with electronics you have a lot of B-grade stock and refurbished items which are sold without full disclosure. EBay is frequently used to get rid of unwanted product.

So, my point is that you have to be careful about that. If a product retails for $1200 and you see it on sale for $300, you ought to ask yourself why it's so cheap. How is the seller making any money on it? Just something to be aware of.

LPPs are not US based,

I'm not sure what you mean by LPP not being U.S. based. Do you mean they are not manufactured here? Well, that is true. But is that a problem? If so, why? The clothes you are wearing are probably made in China or Bangladesh. Are you going to walk around naked because they are not made in the U.S.?

you have to pay for shipping, and you're not going to find them up on ebay.

Not true. DMI ships the LPP kits for free. Check our website. Direct MotorSport International, LLC

This gives you a monopoly of sorts as many would-be US customers are not going to buy from a reseller they can't trust until someone else has bought from that merchant, which gives the merchant to set the price.

There is no monopoly here. If you know someone or a company which would like to carry the LPP, I would encourage you to have them contact the U.S. distributor (Laser Protector USA).

I'm not sure what your issue is with trusting us or any other reseller. You mentioned buying on EBay, which is infinitely more risky. Our company is licensed, we have our own website, phone, etc. etc.

You can occassionally find an LPP on EBay for various reasons, just like many other products. We are contractually bound to NOT sell on EBay. I can't speak for any other companies' relationship with LP USA.

I believe the reason why you don't see the LPP all over the place in the States yet is because it's only had a U.S. distributor here for a few months. It takes time. Like I said, if you have a recommendation for a retailer or installer, I'm sure the LP USA folks would be interested in hearing it.

Another thought... if you buy from us you can of course take your product anywhere for installation. We will gladly work with any installer to assist them with tech support.

Most of us are not looking for JTG, we're just looking for something better than SRX or blinder that isn't going to co us, and is going to have LONG-term benefits. While the LPP may be a good jammer today, tomorrow a new laser gun could come out rendering it useless. That's why most of us just settle for BELSCORT/BLINDER b/c we know they'll sell us something cheaper soon enough

I don't know about that. How do you know they are going to sell you something cheaper soon enough? And besides, you get what you pay for.

If you want to drive a BMW versus a Honda, you will pay more. They will both get you to the mall, but the BMW - for some people - offers an experience for which they are willing to pay a premium for.

Likewise, the LPP is not for everyone. Compared with Escort's products, you are paying for a different type of protection, in a different package.
