+hybridgeek Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Hey folks, Does anyone know what is up with buymagellan.com? I ordered my Topo3D software from them nearly a year ago, but their website doesn't exist anymore. Does the company still exist? It's a little disconcerning when a company you've ordered something from disappears so quickly, especially if they keep customer/payment data. Does anyone know anything about what happened to them or whatnot? I assumed this forum category would be broad enough since the site sold units and software, but if not, please move this thread. -Hybridgeek Quote Link to comment
+embra Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Was that the official Magellan online store? (I never paid too close attention since Magellan's prices were always so much more than other online vendors). If so, you can now purchase things directly at the Magellan web site. Perhaps this was a reorganization that happened after the Magellan division was purchased from Thalles. Or perhaps I'm mis-rememberin' again. Quote Link to comment
+IV_Warrior Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 No, it was run by the cacher Joelmart. I sent him an e-mail with a link to this thread. I didn't know the site was down until I saw this thread, hopefully, he'll pop in and give us the answer. Quote Link to comment
+JoelMart Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Howdy Folks! I owned and operated the business BuyMagellan.com as a second job (and to promote geocaching!) for 5 years so my wife could stay home and start raising our family. She went back to work in May so I had to close up shop. Not enough time to do a good job of running a business along with each of us working and 2 kids. It was a great experience and I had the pleasure of meeting lots of wonderful people. Thanks to everyone who remembers me! Quote Link to comment
+hybridgeek Posted October 1, 2006 Author Share Posted October 1, 2006 (edited) Joelmart, That's too bad to hear. I was looking to pick up a good priced bike mount for my explorist 600. You had the lowest price out there! It's good you have your priorities straight; family comes first always. Thanks for running a good honest business while it lasted! Thanks for popping in here and letting us know. Happy caching! -Hybridgeek edit: In retrospect, I have really bad grammar... Edited October 1, 2006 by hybridgeek Quote Link to comment
