Hello! I am a GeoCaching newbie, have only found a 1/2 dozen so far. But, my family love to search for caches!
I just found an Oregon 300 brand new in box at an LL Bean store very reasonably. They are having a 50% off sale at the stores only and I bought mine for $150 plus tax.
Check it out and maybe call around to locate a store near you. Good Luck!
