chadx Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Hi all, Not sure how many guys do back country hiking/boarding, but I'm selling off one of my GPS. I guess this is getting into a bit of a grey area in regards to it being "snowboard related equipment", but I guess the moderator gods will strike me down if this is too far of a stretch. Until that time, here is my sales pitch... Brunton MNS GPS - Multi-Navigator™ MULTI-NAV Used four times (twice in yard and twice in vehicle. Not carried hiking or boarding). I have another GPS that I use for all that since I already had accessories for it. Note that this has way more features than just GPS, like True-Magnetic electric compass that works independently of GPS (read: works with GPS satellite tracking shut off to save battery), Weather Predictive barometer, Altimeter, etc. Note: This type of GPS does not give "driving directions" and "street addresses". I originally paid $399. They have since some down to around $300 - $350. I’m selling for the low, low price of $189.99 + shipping (remember, this is a sales pitch and it's a well known fact that everyone thinks they are getting a better deal if I say $189.99 rather than $190.00). If no offers, as the week goes on, I'll be more open to offers. I'm selling to buy motorcycle parts (unless another board, that is a 'must buy' comes along). Note that Brunton is well known for customer support. They are great! And, as noted above, you are getting SEVERAL tools in one. Not only a GPS. Thanks for looking and my Bomber mail is enabled so you can email me through here. From Bruntons literature...
