garmin etrex shortage?

[+Tsegi Mike and Desert Viking]

We recently moved and cannot find our gps unit. We are considering getting a cheap(er) etrex 10 to use until we find our other unit. The usual stores that carry handheld gps units do not have it in stock. Even garmin's website shows it is out of stock. Is there a supply issue with garmin? Or is it no longer being made? Anyone know?

Black Friday is practically every day until Christmas day itself this year.     

GPSrs are used by a lot more than just this hobby.  I remember a few years ago where folks were buying demos because GPSr sales went nuts.

Cabela's often has some good sales on models much better than that basic etrex 10, for the same price or less.

There's a global shortage of electronic components at the moment which is affecting a lot of manufacturers. The UK head office of the company I used to work for was recently quoted over 3000 pounds for a chip that used to cost about 40 pounds, and many suppliers are quoting delivery dates in 2023 or later. It makes me glad I'm retired now.

Have you tried Ebay? There's plenty there.
