Waldo Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Hi All, Been checking out the magellan explorist 400 GPS from ebay and the prices seem almost too good to be true, has anyone had purchased one of these off ebay? Good or bad experiences? They look so tempting! Waldo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman_DJ Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 It could be a fake mad in china that just won't preform. It could also be that they don't intend to import it thru the normal channels, rather send it as a gift and mark it's value as something low like $10.

Waldo Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Just been doing a bit more research (thanks Greg) and am starting to lean towards a garmin GPSMAP 60. From ebay only really saving about $40 so will probably support the local community and go to a shop (at least that way I can ask stupid questions in person). Cheers, Waldo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
len Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 The explorist range has been superceded that's one reason why the price on them has dropped. I have just bought an explorist xl in a travel pack at a very discounted price because of the fact that magellan has changed the range - I love the big colour screen on the xl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
