You might want to check Best Buy That's where I got my Yellow Garmin E-Trex For
the same Price 89.99. But you need to make sure the Download cable comes with
it. I didn't and the cable, I think is another 35.00 dollars.

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.
