+ApK Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Are airfares as cheap there as they are here? Come visit, buy 2 (or 3) eTrexs at Best Buy, hit few caches, go home, and sell the extras on eBay....free vacation! quote:Originally posted by Nia: I've been tring to buy a cheep GPS on e-bay so we have less arguments when geocaching.

dawnrazor Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 I've given up with Ebay, seeing as the only European ones seem to be German and hte translation stuff I used did not fill me with confidence. "Please be asking any queries before bidding for all errors not belong to me" I am going to Hong Kong with work - See previous thread asking for help - and am going to try and pick one up there as Eddie's ageing Magellan is causing a bit of grief when we cant decide whether to give up cos a cache not there or because we are too inept to find it. If I find a cheap one I'll put a post on as I think I'll be going back really soon Peta (Mrs DR) Quote Link to comment

+Lost in Space Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Find a friend or fellow cacher in the US. I got my Etrex, at Fry's, for $79, (~£55). Even with P&P it will still be cheaper. Quote Link to comment
