Garmin - Group Buy?
This one is going to be a little different.
Please read the first and second post very carefully.
This is for the Garmin In reach Explorer+
Nothing else.
No other Garmin, no accessories.
https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/561269
Pricing:
MSRP - $450
If you are interested in this:
Sign up by replying to this thread. Don’t chicken out. You are either in or you aren’t. NO maybe, no waiting on the wife, gf or bf to get permission. There is enough time to make up your mind or find a doctor to sell your kidney or pawn your wife’s jewelry. If you are on the fence to see if it’ll go up to max discount before you jump in, you are HOLDING the group buy back. Don’t be that dude.

So after talking to a Garmin vendor, he can cut us a deal.
They must be shipped to one address. The vendor is not willing to ship separate orders at the moment, he just doesn't want to deal with it.
I MIGHT be willing to purchase the bulk order upfront under the following conditions:
1. I get 15 commited members, plus 5 backups.
2. You pay shipping - You can save shipping by combining orders.
3. Paypal funds and you pay the paypal fees.
The discount would be $80 OFF MSRP for the Garmin Inreach which is $450 MSRP. That is about 20% off, the normal group rate discount.
The vendor is in California, so the California guys would be saving on the taxes.
I would pay for the bulk order upfront via credit/paypal. Once I get the order, you pay me and I distribute it to you.
I will NOT take your money upfront.
I know a few of the T4R guys are up for it.
I am still thinking about it, if enough interest is put together, I am willing to do this.
IF I can find another vendor that would be willing to ship each one individually close to the same pricing, I will go that route.

A little speedy upfront, but I'm more than happy to pay that annual fee once a year, along with the 3-4 30-day contracts I'll probably purchase a year, if it not only saves my life but allows me to communicate 2-way as well.

By monthly contract - do you pay for the Inreach services AND GPS features?
Or
The inreach services only?
What I am trying to get to is - what happens when the monthly contract is over, can you still use the GPS feature only (no INreach).

My understanding is that the monthly contract allows you access to the texting & SOS features, while GPS should always be functional. I have read this same consensus elsewhere online as of 2017, but have not personally confirmed it -- http://www.gpscity.com/questions?qid=65629
I always have my iPhone on me when I'm in the backcountry, in Airplane Mode, which still gives you GPS coordinates and allows me to use my favorite app Topo Maps. It's rudimentary in some ways, perfect for me, and allows you to download all the older & superior USGS Topo Maps in advance of a trip -- http://topomapsapp.com
I've cancelled my upcoming backcountry trips in Northern Nevada due to general hunting season so won't be able to really play around with the new Garmin unit until things cool off slightly down in Death Valley. Wish I could give more info!
