Elite 5 FF LOWRANCE -- $350

[Honcho]

Upgraded to a Elite 7DSI so I am now selling the the ELITE 5 FF. I had the unit for a little over a year and it has been washed after every outing. The 83/200 transducer is brand new and has never been used.

I'm looking for an Elite 5, was holding out for a big sale this fall from the already low prices available. Not to knock your price but this unit is available for $359.40, free shipping, full one year warranty right now at Digital Oasis. I'm thinking we might see below $300 this fall.
I am interested in saving a buck, but $350 is a bit high for a used unit, no warranty.

Appreciate the info Mark. I bought the unit ~$499.00 year and half ago. I agree I wouldn't buy it for $350 either. How much would you pay for a gently used unit?

Understandable, these FF change quick in updates/prices. My biggest concern with a used unit would be the following, did it get dunked in the salt water. Reason being, even though they are supposed to be water proof, these units are known for getting water through the micro SD card slot. Hopefully you sealed this opening before any unforeseen role in the sea.
With the premise that the unit didn't see any salt water leakage and being it is out of warranty. I'd do half of what you asking shipping included here in U.S. If you don't get any better offers, let me know, I'm looking to buy this unit before I return to Costa Rica this fall.
Good luck
P.S. I've now set the basement price for ya.

Thanks, I'll keep you in mind, just don't hold your breath. BTW, I looked up digital oasis site and couldn't find the unit, odd.
