HDS 7 touch sale

I saw this looking at all the different sales going on right now. They have the 7 touch marked down plus an additional $300 mail to rebate on top of it

Read reviews before you buy. I bought a Motorguide trolling motor from them and it took over a month to get my money back.

Keep in mind most retailers to pay for postive reviews and "likes". Lots of fake reviews everywhere (mostly Yelp). Deception is everywhere online...(imagine people paying for Youtube subscribers and Twitter followers)...Just buy locally lol

I could be wrong but I think they're trying to clear out the old HDS DSI's etc. to make way for the new Gen HDS 7-9-12. Notice the change of screen size. Now the screen sizes are actually "true to size" which was my complaint about the HDS-7, it was actually a 6.4" screen, so I bought an HDS-8 DSI because it was a true 8" screen!

Wow, The reviews for that place sounds like a nightmare. I have a buddy that sells on amazon, and he gets emails all the time from the dark web advertising to sell him good reviews for his products. The fake reviews are a reality.

Places like this are why I don't mind paying the sales tax and fork out the extra bucks for a local warranty -- to avoid the wasted time on phone calls, shipping and other headaches of dealing with non-local businesses.

Good bit of advice here. However, in some instances dealing with after-purchase care through an online retailer is reasonably easy and pain free. I find that if the company has a legitimate social media presence i.e. you can engage with a human in conversation in the DMs, or without having to navigate through touch tone menus and use code words like "agent" to get to a person on the phone, theyre usually pretty good. for example I purchase stuff from J and H tackle in new york pretty regularly because as you mentioned no sales tax at time of sale across state lines and generally with a 10% discount I typically save a significant amount of purchases of reels etc. But they are really easy to get ahold of and the product specialists are actually guys who work in the store not a call center.

Good point. For non-electronic items that are less likely to need a warranty, the
web is a great place to shop.
