+scottywentzky Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 (edited) Does anyone have any PDA's they are looking to get rid of that would be good for paperless caching? I've seen a few go for $20.00 or less on ebay, but I have to admit I'm not that knowledgeable about PDA's and would hate to get one off ebay that could not be used for geocaching. Thanks, Scott Edited January 25, 2006 by scottywentzky Quote Link to comment
+fireman121 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Just an FYI, I bought My first Palm IIIxe off eBay, it was a knock off product that used the Palm PDS programs. It only lasted a little more then a month, before it bombed out. Also it was a battery hog! I suggest going to a store and buying a unit from them. I purchased a color Palm Z22 for $89 from a office super store. it has a 32m of memory along with a lithium rechargeable battery, the one draw back is the screen is a little smaller. But so is the unit. Quote Link to comment
+I.R. Geonut Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I bought one on these forums for $20.00 and it's awesome! Do a search on eBay for PEG-S360. It's perfect for what we do and fairly inexpensive. Make sure you read the description and check the seller's feedback of course. That Z22 by palm is pretty awesome also. Quote Link to comment
+scottywentzky Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 I just got a Palm M105 off ebay for $10.00. I think that was a pretty good deal. I figure even if it does not work for geocaching I can give it to my girlfriend for keeping track of her confused life. Is there any software or other tips/advice that you can offer about using one of these? Thanks, Scott Quote Link to comment
+Poidawg Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Check craigslist, I got a palm XIIIx for $40. If you dont see one right away, check again in a couple of days. I found the one I got in the third try. Good luck Quote Link to comment
+geognerd Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Check craigslist, I got a palm XIIIx for $40. If you dont see one right away, check again in a couple of days. I found the one I got in the third try. Good luck For that price and a IIIx, the factory-refurb IIIx on Overstock.com for $36 is a better deal in my opinion. No dealing with auctions, private sellers, and the possibility of getting a unit that is too "used." Though I just bought a IIIxe for $10.50 on eBay. Like scottywentzky, I figured it was worth taking a chance. Hopefully my gamble will pay off next week when I get it. I'm not the type to buy something used. Quote Link to comment
+Ballooner Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I got this one on ebay and it should arrive tomorrow: Palm VIIx PDA, gently used, in Great condition, Software and instruction booklets, Hotsync Cradle, Portable keyboard with software and case, Leather case for PDA, and a CD-ROM: "PDA Power Training". Original box and packaging. All that for $30.50 including shipping. Will this do OK for paperless caching? Quote Link to comment
