Hello List.
Earlier today I was going through "my" Amazon Gold Box offers and the Garmin
Etrex Yellow came up for $89.99. That's $10.00 off the "normal" amazon price
but it looks like it qualifies for free shipping -- which is what, for Amazon,
makes this a deal. When we first started pricing Garmins, Amazon was less in
initial price but made up for that by it's notoriously high shipping --
bringing eveything back to the same price range.
Yesterday it gave me a $24.00 compass -- today an eTrex -- who knows what
tomorrow will bring.
