Where do you buy your Cy-Visors for under $800?  I saw the previous
message on the list mentioning you could buy them in Singapore for around
$750, but where do I get one now for under $800 new?  There's a used one
on ebay, but I'm a little skeptical about buying these things used.  It
looks a little worn and the description doesn't mention a battery..  I am
bidding nevertheless.

Best,
Erastus
