+FitzgeraldFamily Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 So I've been a avid 76csx user for years now and had recently looked into getting either a Colorado or Oregon but the cost was to steep even for the amount of ease and features it would add to my geocaching experience. Last night i was browsing my local Best Buy (Gulfport, MS) and found a Colorado 400T for only $319, i thought it must of been a mistake but the sticker read down from $599, oddly enough the 400c was next to it at full price. There was only one on the shelf so i grabbed it up and headed to checkout half expecting for it ring up different and having to attempt to get a manager to honor the sticker price, but sure enough it was only $319 still 180 bucks cheaper than the 300 without maps sells for and 280 bucks cheaper than buying the same model would cost online at say oh i dont know, BestBuy.com. Any who i figured id share in case its like this anywhere else, maybe i just lucked out who knows, if you want to call ahead to check the SKU is 8828664. I just cant wait to try the paperless caching feature out in the field, i know this model has some bugs but at that price who could pass? Quote Link to comment

That appears to either be a local price or a sale that ended on Saturday. Their website is showing full price. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 That's a good price. It's $349 on Offroute.com and $379 at Amazon. Quote Link to comment
+WN1E Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I was at Best Buy yesterday and the had 2 Colorado 400t units for sale at a marked down price of $349. The box did have a note saying they were either a floor demo or reconditioned units. I almost snagged one, but was a little weary. Quote Link to comment
+FitzgeraldFamily Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) This wasn't refurbished or a floor model in fact i went back today because the back doesn't snap all the way on so i went to get it exchanged and found out they have a bunch more atleast 5 id say, the problem seemed to be with all of them though, if its even a problem at all. Snapped a photo this time for the heck of it. Edited March 15, 2009 by FitzgeraldFamily Quote Link to comment
+jthomp000 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 That's a fantastic price for that unit. I have mine and love it. Sadly, I must admit when I bought mine from Best Buy that had it on the clearance table tagged 159.99. HAD to buy it, couldn't say NO! Quote Link to comment
