I didn't actually check the current price for one, just took a stab. But
with all due respect, your advertised ones are most likely refurbs with a
"recertified warranty" (their words), and the seller doesn't say what they
come with for the advertised price. So, for example, are the case, car cord,
windshield mount, and external charger included? I'll bet you not- that by
the time they get through with you, you'll be nickel and dimed for a lot
more than $66.
For example, they're selling the windshield dash mount for $17.00 alone. My
unit comes with that. Again, I'll bet that advertised price doesn't include
that part.
Also note that the large words FREE SHIPPING are qualified by the smaller
words "on orders over $200". I'm including shipping in my sale- they're not.
Add at least $10 more onto that $66.
Add up the car cord, the charger, the windshield mount, and the OEM case,
and the shipping and I think you'll find those items alone are worth close
to the price I'm asking.
That's a sucker's site, designed to loss-lead you into their net. I know
your intentions were good, and you are right about electronics losing value,
but again with due respect, I do suggest you study the things that you post
more before you step on a guy's selling toes.
