edmicman Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 I know there was a previous thread posted requesting a GPS unit, but I thought this was more specific, so I apologize beforehand... I'm looking to get a Garmin eTrex Legend for geocaching. Its MSRP is ~180 or so it looks like, and I'm trying to find the best deal I can. I'm thinking if there's a way I could get it for ~130 shipped that would be awesome, but it looks like I'll probably be going with about 150 shipped. I did a search on froogle and there's a number for ~135 or so, but a lot of them are after rebate, and I'd prefer not to have to deal with that. I'm thinking maybe checking out eBay, too...I've seen some nice deals on refurb units, but I'm not sure how much I am willing to save to get one over a new unit. I thought maybe someone here might have some more ideas or know of a better place to look. Thanks!
Brad Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 The cheapest I found from a reputable place is $147.68 with free shipping from Vanns: http://www.gottadeal.com/deal.php?store=vanns&sku=465249746 There shouldn't be any sales tax or anything. There were a couple places on Pricegrabber a few bucks cheaper, but I'd rather deal with Vanns than any of those places. I see I posted a deal back in May for $129 after $30 rebate from Amazon. Kind of surprising it hasn't dropped in price in the last 9 months. They must still be selling good.
edmicman Posted February 28, 2005 Author Posted February 28, 2005 Thanks, I'll check out. It says their sale ends tomorrow - does that mean this is gonna jump back up then?
Brad Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 probably. looks like they have a lot of their GPS units on sale through tomorrow.
edmicman Posted February 28, 2005 Author Posted February 28, 2005 Well, I bit on it :) I probably could have been miserly and saved maybe 10-20 through ebay or something or dealt with rebates, but I think I'd rather go through a reputable company and also get a new package to boot. Thanks!!
