+WxGuesser Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Does anybody know if GPS units usually go on sale after XMas? I've only been geocaching for about 7 months and I want to get a garmin 60c. But i'm wondering if i should wait til after XMas? Do gps units usually go on sale after xmas? Also who can find me the cheapest price on the 60c... please put the web link in your response. Quote Link to comment
+VisionQuest220 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 It has been my experience that vitrually everything goes on sale right after Christmas as retailers try to get rid of their extra stock. If you're not in a hurry, it can't hurt to wait a few extra days and see what happens. Quote Link to comment
+Ltljon Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Somewhere down the board there's a post about the 60cs at Amazon for a very good price. Cheaper than what I saw on ebay. Might be worth looking into. Quote Link to comment
+eureeky Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Somewhere down the board there's a post about the 60cs at Amazon for a very good price. Cheaper than what I saw on ebay. Might be worth looking into. $366.89 - For a 60cs - $30.00 - (for signing up for an Amazon.com Visa card and using it to charge your purchase.) = $336.89 for a 60cs out the door! Free shipping too. Whatever you do, DO NOT use the link to the 60cs being sold in the "Sports & Outdoors" store. For some reason the price there is $487.49 Be sure you buy it from the "Electronics" store.

+G O Casher Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 You can get the 76CS for around $435 and Garmin is offering a $50 rebate which brings it to $385. Great unit with alot of memory and it's very versitile. If you add city select you can use it in your car, and it's the same size as the 60CS for geocaching. Quote Link to comment
+WxGuesser Posted December 10, 2004 Author Share Posted December 10, 2004 does the 76cs have the geocache feature? Quote Link to comment
+G O Casher Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 does the 76cs have the geocache feature? Yes, it definately does. It has all of the features that the 60CS has, but alot more memory. Checkout the Garmin site and you can do a side by side comparison. Quote Link to comment
+G O Casher Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 BTW - The best price that I could find from a reputable on-line dealer was $435 from GPSNOW. They are an authorized Garmin Dealer (listed on the Garmin site as 4X4Books), and included a seperate receipt and rebate form. Quote Link to comment
