I was trying to find a Garmin GPSMap 76 for cheap online. I was wondering if anyone knew any web sites that would have this product discounted. At West Marine, it sells for $350. I know there must be other places that sell it for much less.

I've had good luck with using the merchants that come up on Yahoo Shopping. I do search on the item, sort by price, and go from there. Also, Boatersworld.com will match any price you find. They look at it, calulate the total including shipping charges and adjust their price to match.<br><br>GARY

Many things can be found for reasonable prices at http://www.ebay.com Just make sure the seller has good feedback. I have made most of my online purchases on ebay for the last couple of years.<br><br>

When searching for my last GPS, I found that there are a lot of people willing to pay more for their technological equipment than can be had for new elsewhere on the internet. Buyer be knowledgeable about the best price.<br><br>[color:blue][b]Jake

I'm sorry, but I must disagree. Here are my two cents worth.
<br>
<br>I am always drawn to ebay because I feel like I'm going to find a bargain. I have yet to. When the final hours of an auction arrive, I see used merchandise selling at or above market value. I have seen used items selling for more than I know they can be had for new - retail.
<br>
<br>If this were the case in a open and fair auction, I would say that market forces were at work. But I wonder... Invariably, the reserve is set high and thus there is no true auction. Or, in No Reserve auctions, there always seems to be some one-off user who has the highest bid, and I wonder if this is not the seller just running up the bid. Hey, if Christies and Sotheby's, large 'reputable' auction houses, are guilty of price manipulation, what keeps these ebay jokers from doing as they please?
<br>
<br>Surely not all ebay auctions are this way. I have purchased from ebays sellers, and I got a fair deal. But I find that too often ebay is crowded with sellers who make their living pushing garage sale merchandise at a premium.
<br>
<br>Buyer beware!
<br>
<br>Know what you are looking for and shop it aggressively on the internet. You will probably find the item for less.

Try www.gpsdiscount.com with my Zip code in the Shopping basket my Price for the Garmin 76 was $305.00 plus $1.53 Insurance. They are Running Free S&H for a limited time.
