Been looking at getting one recently - specifically the HDs 7. I figured that with the Gen. 2 models taking up store shelves and online sellers (way out of my affordability & price range), you'd think that the previous HDS units would still be out there, and perhaps marked down discounted.

Been having difficulties finding the first gen. units both online and in person.... Maybe I just missed out on those discounts by fishing too much this year, but not sure.

Help would be much appreciated!

If you do find one sitting on a shelf somewhere, be sure to check serial number on how old.many of the first ones leaked, including two of mine.

$150 rebate on the Gen 2 now. I think you are a year late on the Gen 1.

Yea, I bought two Gen2 units in April of this year and the Gen1 units were gone already at that time. I was able to find a Gen1 side imaging unit luckily--but not the actual Gen1 HDS units themselves.
