Recommended Posts

I am kinda new. I have already gone geocaching a little, and found some, but I need a GPS!!! I need it really CHEAP.....I'm talking like $20 maximum!! I'm only 15 and don't have a job, so i don't get paid, like some of ya'll do. Please let me know if you can help me.....PLEAZE!!! and if it's on E-Bay, don't post it unless it is close to the end, or it has a buy-it-now price.

 

Thanx

For twenty bucks, I think you're pretty well into the "dropped it off a cliff and now it doesn't work" category. :)

 

Even a well-worn Etrex yellow, from a very sympathetic seller, will run you $50 to $75.

 

Realistically, I think you're going to be looking at mowing a few lawns and saving your money, rather than finding one in your quoted price bracket.

 

Edit: I don't think I'd trust a GPS unit that only cost me twenty bucks. I'd probably end up tying a string to my car's bumper just so I could find it again when the unit died on me.

This might sound “cheesy”, but when I was your age I would talk to my parents, and even the neighbors, and tell them what I was trying to buy and how much. Then I would ask what “odd jobs” I could do to raise the money. Things have changed a bit since I was 15. Heck, this approach might not even work these days.

 

You can sometimes catch the garmin Etrex(yellow) on sale for $80.00. Good luck, if you lived around the Houston area, I could find some odd jobs for ya.

 

Good things come to those who wait.... and work to achieve them

Maybe if you spent a little time working instead of messing around with Halo you could possibly get some money. Hey just kidding but really I checked your website out and its pretty cool but you could spend a little spare time working or something couldn't ya. I was 16 when I got a job and I am 18 now and still have that job and love it. I value my free time a lot more however but at least I can get a gps, gas, a car, and a college education, now. Guess its all about how important things are to you.

 

Oh yea chances are you won't find a gps for $20, I know people who have not found any for $50, but good luck any way

Here is a Magellan GPS315 on ebay with a current price of $10.50....there is still 3 days left, but you might want to keep an eye on it. An older Garmin GPS45 just sold for $31. Keep an eye out!

 

3095765183 ...here is the item # for the Magellan315

 

I love buying old silver coins off ebay, I get some great deals! B)

Thanks....i will watch that one on e-Bay. I have tried to find a job, because, as you have probably guessed, i have a lot of free time on my hands, but I ust can't find a good job here in Sebastian. If you can find any more, tell me.

Be wary of buying a sub $50 GPS. Many of the older units have one less decimal so they won't get you much closer than you can get by looking at a detailed map.

 

I just don't want you to be dissapointed on spending what little hard earned money that you have on something that isn't going to be much better than going without.

I suggest that you cut lawns for a little while. I am only thirteen, this is what I did and now I have an eTrex Legend as well as a palm with cachemate running on it!

Just my $.02 :unsure:

lol i am 13 too and from cutting lawns fixing comps etc i have 132.00

i am looking for a gps that'll get me there within 3 meters for under 75.00

I now have 35$ I can spend!!! Big increase there. I have been watching that GPS on E-Bay, and it's already at $15

How much are you willing to give this week? I've got an Etrex Yellow with data cable that I was asking $110 plus shipping. I asked some others and they did say I was too high.....price wise!!! But $60 would be closer to the correct value! I have current pics if you'd like so see it. I can wait till you save enough if you are interested....Let me know. Jerry P

Hey thanx for all the replies guys. My parents have decided to go half way with me on a GPS, so I am thinking of either getting a Garmin Etrex Yellow or Garmin Gecko 201. Which one do you think would be best? I like the look of the Etrex better, but the Gecko is more accurate.

Either one would be fine. The gecko may have waas but a lot of cachers including myself leave the waas turned off because it doesn't help that much. I guess that you should get whatever feels better in your hand. I like the etrex series, I have a Legend and a Vista. They just feel more rugged to me than the Geckos. :lol:
