I would be wondering where they came from, I have been pricing Garmin for a year and NOWHERE was I able to find lower than $99 for the base E-Trex, sales, internet, amazon, e-bay.

Just be careful.

Good buy otherwise.

BTW can I get one?[:D]

Did they "fall of a truck"?

I'm not sure what the model 190 is, but the most basic eTrex usually sells for around $110 retail. How many do you have? If you have one or two that you want to sell, send me an IM.

Sorry about not responding right away ,i posted and then ran out to the Gym,i will check with my buddy tomorrow morning and IM you and anyone else who wants one.
I really don't think they are hot,the other guys uncle owns an electronics outlet and dumps stuff that is making room for the new stuff.
Last year i bought a brand new GE profile refridgerator that was selling everywhere for 2 grand for $850.00 it was an end of the year deal.
The GPS unit probaby costs the uncle the 50 bucks so he breaks even on his old stock and buys new models.

Is this the little personal yellow one or is it a Legend or Summit model.

The 190, if I recall correctly refers to a series of Garmin handheld GPS's.

By the way, is that spelling correct? Is it printed GARMIN or how you spelled it GARMIM...lol.

Anyway, I'd be interested in one too if it's not the little yellow base model one. I have it and it's great little unit but I need a few more features.
