[gps-talkusers] Re: Announcing Holux M1000

Because the online vendors are selling thousands of units and Sendero
may, at most, sell a few hundred.  They're offering it more as a
convenience to their customers who may not have the time or web
expertise to look for a bargain. Kind of like buying from a local mom
and pop store rather than the Walmart Superstore 20 miles away.

That's a ripoff! How can online sell cheaper than sendero? I don't get
it either!
