ThunderandRain Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Frye's, if you have one in your area, has the Magellan Exporist 100 on sale for $59.00. Although it doesn't have any bells and whistles to speak of, it WOULD make a great second GPS, for something for a Struggling College Student or someone else on a tight budget. Just a heads up!

israelcb Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Just called the one in Atlanta and they are $119. I wonder if that is just a local sale. Quote Link to comment

israelcb Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 What's a "Frye's"...Where are they ?? Do they have a website..?? Please advise..Thanks. They are an huge electronics store. From what I can tell, they don't have very many locations. They have a website (see the link) for information only about their brick and mortar stores. And, apparently they are teamed up with Outpost.com to sell via the web - where the Explorist 100 is showing for $99. Fry's Electronics Quote Link to comment
+Miragee Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Their sales usually start on Thursday . . . so maybe that is when the price will drop. Quote Link to comment
+Wacka Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 It's Fry's and they bought outpost.com. They are in the SF Bay area (where they started) Southern Cal and Ithink hey have a fw in Arizona and Texas. Quote Link to comment
+Marcie/Eric Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I have one by me. I think my ad's are local. Fry's was formerly known as Incredible Universe. They are owned by Tandy Corp. (Radio Shack) Quote Link to comment
ThunderandRain Posted April 19, 2005 Author Share Posted April 19, 2005 OK I just called our local store (Indianapolis) and it's a local, grand opening sale....sorry for the mix up!!!! Rick Quote Link to comment
+Wacka Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 (edited) Fry's is not owned by Radio Shack. The Incredible Universe stores they bought may have been owned by Tandy at one time. The father had a chain of supermarkes, which he eventually sold. The sons used some of their weath to start the electronic stores. Started in the SF/SJ area. One of the Fry brothers owns the San Jose Sabercats in the Arena Football League. Look at the ads on the boards. Most of them are for computer related stuff as compared to Al's Towing, etc. in other cities. Edited April 20, 2005 by Wacka Quote Link to comment

+maleki Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 They sold them for the same price in the Chicago area a couple months ago. I was going to buy 2 but they were 1 per customer. Quote Link to comment
