I too have purchased several items on Ebay but they were under a $100.00. I don't get that warm fuzzy feeling on Ebay as opposed to dealing with a "known" reputable dealer. You pay more, but more importantly, you have recourse if something isn't correct. On Ebay, buyer beware. Personally, I would not plop down that kind of change and take my chances, so to speak. Ebay, just doesn't do it for me, too many risks involved to mention here.

Maybe I misundstand your statement here. I can buy any Garmin product at an authorize dealer, e.g. http://www.tropicaero.com, and install it myself. Thanks.
