As the topic states, 90% of the ebay listings for most of these garmin models (660 specifically) are complete rip-off schemes. They barely state refurb (or use other wording) and charge you nearly full price that it costs to buy it on amazon.com I'm just thrown off that this behavior is accepted and the sad fact that people are suckers and buy into it. Ebay prices on these gps units sure seem to be slow with the cost of them from standard online stores. Amazon, Frys, Outpost, etc Refurb items costing as much as new, and new costing nearly 80-100$+ than anywhere else. Just making this topic so that hopefully someone who is about to buy one, researches and does not get ripped off.
wow glad to see I may have helped one person. thats more than I could have hoped for :D

I think common sense should rule here. Don't accept someone's "Manufacturer's site" listing of features, etc. Make them tell you about the "specific" unit you are about to bid on. And if their explanation sounds weak, then for God's sake.... DON"T BID!! Remember "caveat emptor" "Let the BUYER beware!!"
