Geo-Frog Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Be careful buying a Garmin from e-bay as the Garmin website says it wont honor rebates from auction sites. Quote Link to comment
+NimravusHSSR Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 It has to be from a Garmin Authorized Dealer. So ask the seller if he is a Dealer and confirm it with Garmin so you won't be out the $50. Quote Link to comment
+Desdinova Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 I dont know about buying it on Ebay, bought mine retail. As for the unit itself I have had mine for like a year and half and it has worked great for me the whole time, which is impressive considering how i beat on any equipemnt I own but esp. outdoor stuff ( i tend to fall into rivers and a frighting rate ) Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 Vista's a great unit. But as the others said, make sure its an authorized dealer, or you won't get your rebate.

Chase the Cat Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 I bought mine from GPSDiscount.com for $239 after the $50 mail in rebate. Quote Link to comment
+CrimsonWrath Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 I got mine as a gift and absolutely love it. The unit is quite straightforward to operate and it is difficult to get confused with it. Here in the Pacific Northwest, it sometimes has a rough time getting a lock on the sattelites with the thick tree cover, but so far it hasn't stopped me from caching! Good luck in your search!

Stallion-7 Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 That's not a bad price w/ or w/o the rebate since they avg 350 retail. I've had mine for about 2 1/2 years and love it. With learning all the features & playing around get yourself some rechargeable batteries though!!!! I used mine for hunting & Military duty the last 2 years in the NW and love it, been Geocaching since around Feb and it works great. Stryker-6 If you hide it, I'll find it!!!! EVENTUALLY...
