+bittersweetinsanity Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 My legend finally crapped out and I'm looking at getting an Oregon 300 for a replacement. I have found some pretty good deals, but I'm worried about the actual sellers that are giving the good deals. Any suggestions on a decent priced (<$390) unit from a more reputable seller? TIA! bittersweetinsanity Quote Link to comment

TIA! bittersweetinsanity IMO, REI is worth the extra cost. The comfort of knowing they will replace it no questions asked for ANY reason is too nice. Sure, you could probably get Garmin to do it too, but REI is much less hassle. Kansas probably has no REIs, but you could order on rei.com. Quote Link to comment
+g-o-cashers Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I would second the recommendation for REI, you can't beat the return policy. But REI hasn't kept up with the latest price drops on the Oregon, they are still selling the 300 for $500 which you can find in the low $400's right now. If you want a good dealer with a lower price I would suggest GPSNow. GO$Rs Quote Link to comment
+GadgetMonster Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I second gpsnow.com I have had very good luck with them. They have good customer service and always respond to emails. Quote Link to comment
+Walts Hunting Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I have used GPSNOW for every Garmin purchase (5) except my Oregon 400t which I found for $535 on eBay (including shipping). Quote Link to comment
Barrikady Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Amazon has the Garmin Oregon 300 in stock for $393 with free shipping (and possibly no tax) Go HERE Quote Link to comment
BobbyC Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Do you have an eBay account? Paypal? Go to http://www.live.com/ and create an account. Search garmin oregon. At the top of the page, you'll see a link to ebay for 25% off any Buy-it-Now option. Read the fine print but basically, you have 60 mins from clicking off live.com to eBay for any BIN listing with a max of 12 purchases. It takes 60 days to get the cashback. live.com is a MS site if you didn't know. Quote Link to comment
+bittersweetinsanity Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 I ended up getting my Oregon through Amazon.com with an 8gb Micro SD, shipped for around $405.00. I'm pretty happy with my purchase and I'll be spending the new few days (after I receive the dang thing) uploading/updating/playing! Thanks for all your help and suggestions! I really appreciate it! I'm really excited for night caching in Kansas! Quote Link to comment
yogazoo Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I have seen a sneek-peek at a flyer for Sportsmans Warehouse and on Black Friday they'll be selling the 400T for $335.00!! If you live somewhere where you have a Sportsmans Warehouse I'd be in line EARLY!! Quote Link to comment
