Recommended price for USED garmin 200 or 500

[fergy1987]

Hey guys,

I am looking at purchasing a Garmin 200 or 500 depending on what prices I can find, and have been looking around on ebay etc.

What would you suggest was a good price for these products used (assumed in good condition)

Cheers

alternatively would I be better off with something like this

seems like a good deal at half price?

I think you can get the Mio 105 for around $95-$100 on eBay (unit only). The plus I see in getting the 105 is that you can add cadence / hrm etc on at a later stage if you want.

How do the mio units compare to the garmin? Mio are essentially Magellan right?

There's usually no warranty on Garmin/other device purchased via eBay. Also, if you buy from c r c or other o/s bike shop and you have a problem with the unit (as bike computers are notorious for...) then you are up for postage back there. Warranty usually doesn't usually cover this. This applies in Australia too but it is obviously a lot cheaper to send stuff around Australia than o/s.

So esentially buy from LBS?

There are some Australian online shops that do some reasonable prices.

Garmin Ege 200 is $131.97 at Evans (o/s) and $138 at 99 Bikes (Aust).

About <$130 for an edge 500

Ended up picking up the edge 500 for 165 from 99 bikes.
