    New ALP Prices Effective 8/1

    Please note that since we starting carrying the ALP's our cost for them has gone up around 10% but we have keep prices the same. On 8/1 we will be raising some prices to offset the price increases to us.

    Current Price for AL Systems are are $499.95 for a Single System (1 CPU & 1 Sensor) which is $249.95 Each Component. We have been doing each additional head for +$200
    New prices as on 8/1 will still be $499.95 for the Single System but it will be +$249.95 for each additional sensor. All accessory prices will stay the same.

    Before looking at an Escort Radar Detector you should really check out Uniden Detectors.. Uniden R1 & R3 are the best performing radar detectors for the money.

    I take it that there will be no adjustment in price here in Australia from Tim @ DGC? They are already 500$AUS a sensor retail, I Dont think too many people would want to pay any more than 500$ for just 1

    don't kid yourself im guessing when the dala reaches Australia and ALP is the only one to work well we have no choice but to pay ..I think for me I would rather pay the speeding fine as at the moment I only see 1 handheld once a year infact its been 2 years since my last handheld attack

    back when they sold the G9 they where also 500 for one head (this was head only no CPU )

    tim already told me once he has imported all of his stock and payed for the duties he isn't making much so yep im guessing this will also affect us

    I dont think Tim will raise prices. He still has some nice margins. We held the prices the lowest we could to try to get the product moving and competing in the US market. We are only raising the sensor prices on additional sensors. We were already selling the heads and CPU's for $249.95 ea. (Single Kit was $499.95) but we discounted the additional heads to $200 and that is the discount that is going away. So on a Dual the price is only going up $50 from $699.95 to $749.95 - We would love to keep the prices low but its not possible. Our costs are very high and I am sure we are paying probably 30% if not more in costs then the competition pays to import their products and we are running on very low margins.

    I said this before. The more you praise them the more you will pay. Cost should go down, not up.

    If you have nothing nice to say you can go troll elsewhere. We have been selling the ALP at the lowest price worldwide. The ALP is a very high end product and its worth every penny.

    Current 2 Head price is $699.95 and after 8/1 it will be $749.95 which is still the lowest price in the world.

    Here are some examples:

    2 Head System in Australia $1195 (Approx $1100 US)
    2 Head System in Canada $849 Canadian (Approx $800 US)
    2 Head System in Germany $899 Euro (Approx $ 1200 US)

    We have just been selling them at razor thin margins to allow the product to enter the market, We could not do that forever and there is a reason the products cost as much as they do worldwide because they cost a lot to produce. The ALP is made with the best components available at the highest standards, The engineering and R&D that goes into the product is very costly. Its by far the most advanced system on the market and its worth its money.

    Classic, Tom offers to work with a prospective buyer on price, then gets a low blow in the next post.
    This is why good retailers with great CS are a dying breed...they eventually get burned out and do something less stressful and more rewarding.
