+YuccaPatrol Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 I have been a long time member of REI, but their prices are incredibly high when compared to specialized internet GPS sales comapanies. Even with the dividend, REI is too pricey for me. Quote
+Renegade Knight Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 Their prices are high even if you are going to get the 10% back for being a member.... Quote

+crash331 Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 (edited) I got mine from adventurestation.com. It was like 400 or something. I found one that was cheaper, but I didn't know the retailer. You have to use the link on the geocaching.com webpage to get to adeventuestation.com. The reason I payed $10 more was because it said a percentage of my purchase went to geocaching.com edit: i just looked and the link has changed to an REI link on the front page. You need a store ID to get in the website, so I am not sure if you can get to it anymore now. edit2: Is adventurestation.com the right website? I cant remember now. THere was a link on the front page and that was the only way I could get to the online store...and it said 5-30% of my purchase went to geocaching.com Edited September 13, 2004 by crash331 Quote
+rokclimber Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 try offroute.com they always seem to have great prices! Quote
+CapnJackSparrow Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 dickssportingoods.com - national chain, good reputation, and excelent prices! Quote
+Blaidd-Drwg Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 I've spent the last two evenings coveting a 60CS. The cheapest place I could find is Amazon.com and the price includes free shipping Quote
+Team DEMP Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 SOme of the following are places I've dealt with or others here have reported good results with. http://www.compuplus.com http://www.gpsnow.com http://www.tigergps.com http://www.getfeetwet.com http://www.gpscity.com http://www.tvnav.com and there are many more. Get the cost, shipping and if in your state you'll need to add sales tax. Since others have had good experiences from the above, you can probably just go on total cost vs worrying about the etailer being legitimate or not. Quote
+Team DEMP Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 I've spent the last two evenings coveting a 60CS. The cheapest place I could find is Amazon.com and the price includes free shipping There are some things that ship from Amazon but many ship from partners or Marketplace partners. The 60cs at Amazon is actually shipping from Office Depot. I bought my 76CS from Amazon this past week because I had a $130 gift certitificate and they finally had a decent price on one, which actually was fufilled through TigerGPS. Paid for standard shipping and it showed up within 2 days (though they are in the next state from me). Quote
+wornout Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 Got mine from GPSCity and very happy with them. Free shipping for online orders over $400. No sales tax unless you live in Nevada. The 60cs is 399.99 so add something to the order like a Lanyard, a case or a windshield mount and get free shipping. By all means GET THIS GPS, you will love it. Quote
Delaypat Posted September 13, 2004 Author Posted September 13, 2004 WOW thanks guys!!! Offroute says $398.95.......Not bad at all compared to REI and $500.................thanks all..................... Delay www.myspace.com/delayedsleep Quote

When it's an Amazon partner the free shipping doesn't always apply. Quote
+TandGG Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 CompuPlus.com. Good prices and fast delivery. Quote
+Sputnik 57 Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 I got my 60c from CompuPlus and was very happy with their price and service. I got my maps from GPS Now and was very pleased with them as well. Quote
Delaypat Posted September 14, 2004 Author Posted September 14, 2004 CompuPlus.com sounds like the way to go...$388+$14.95.........I think I might do that....I really want to, but then I think about the fact that is $400 and maybe I Shouldnt.....grrrrrr.......But then I think about this...I have just quit smoking pot(yeah yeah I know, drugs are bad, thats why I quit), and will be saving a lot of money just from that....Ahhhh choices!!!!!!!! LOL............... Delay Quote
+Sputnik 57 Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 Pot smoking leads to low ambition and indecision. As your system clears up, you'll be able to decide about your GPSr, and have the energy to go find some caches! Good luuck. Quote
Delaypat Posted September 14, 2004 Author Posted September 14, 2004 Oh tell me about it, I was smoking for along time...I'm so glad I quit...It was really easy also..I can feel my head getting so much more clear...its been 6 weeks.....Thats why I want a GPS, to get out of the house and do something..I mean I make lots of music, but Other hobbies are great....I would like to get out and start going with my girlfriend so we can bond even more...Anyway, Sorry to post my life story...LOL........take care!!

+NavySparksandtheMrs Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 Hi Everyone, I purchased a Garmin etrex Vista C from offroute.com about a month ago. Called them on the phone to see if they had it in stock....no phone menu...just a very helpful guy answering the phone who had the info I needed. Ordered it then and decided for FEDEX overnigh delivery. Something I would normally never do due to the added cost but could not wait to have the little critter in my hands. Called at 1100 and Mr. FEDEX man was at my door at the about the same time the next day. Super service and outstanding price that was within about five bucks of the best price I could find surf'in the Internet. I would put them number one on any of my GPS type purchases. I see that geocaching.com has dropped them and now has REI and I agree with previous posts about REI being VERY EXPENSIVE as far as GPS units are concerned. Quote
