Thanks in advance for you input. In my opinion, It really depends on how much caching you're going to do and how 'serious' you're going to get about the activity. I found my first 1000 caches with my little yellow extrex and loved every minute of it. at the very least it'd would be worth picking it up for the price alone (assuming it works, etc...) - and if you don't want it, let me know where you found that price, I'll pick it up!

+StarBrand Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Easily worth $30!!! Has a serial interface and tends to lose signal uder heavy tree cover but not a bad GPS - great for beginners. Quote Link to comment
+Kohavis Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Good price! There are several selling on Ebay but there are no "Buy It Now" Etrex units cheaper than $65 (free shipping), only auctions. And you never know with those. Quote Link to comment
+Jeep4two Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 If you can get it for $20 or $30 it's well worth it. Great beginner unit. . . and will easily bring that in a year if and when you decide to upgrade to a better one. I still use my eTrex Legend as a backup (or wife uses it along side me and my Oregon). It has the same receiver as the plain yellow eTrex and can still lead me to a cache. Quote Link to comment

Thanks in advance for you input. I´m using my little yellow since one and a half year. I don´t have any problems about it. If you can get it for $20 or $30 take it! It depends not on a cheap or expensive GPSr to find Geocaches, it depends on your imagination and inspiration. good hunting and we´ll meet in the woods Quote Link to comment
+BDstarcachers Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Found my first 1500 caches with my E-trex yellow!!! Good unit - simple - uncomplicated Quote Link to comment
