Trade in your GPS at Best Buy

Hmmm, $74 for my Nuvi 200, which isn't really all that bad considering you can get them for FREE with a credit card sign up. Not that I am interested in selling it. I will have to go check my old iPods.

I went to see how much they would offer for mine (Nuvi 255W) but I could not find it. I wonder if it's because it's a brand new model? Not sure, but I am with Guttermouth I am not looking to trade it. Very interesting concept though.

$107.00 for a Nuvi 660 in excellent condition is a bit low IMO.

Return it to amazon for $150 store credit before $74 at best buy.

My Garmin C530 has "No trade-in value". However, they say I may send it in and they will dispose of it... l
No way, I will keep it. It is still doing its job without any problems.

My C340 was worth $45, but its worth more than that to me.

BTW, if anyone wants to dispose of their GPS units, you can send them to me for proper disposal rather than Best Buy. I will dispose of them properly (on ebay)!

Woohoo, I can get $19 for my Roadmate 760!

Do they resell them somewhere, or are they making enough on new units to justify the trade-in credit.

I would imagine they resell all of them to a second hand dealer.

They don't give you cash, the give you a Bestbuy gift card.
Hence, another way to get you back in their store to buy more stuff.

For a profit I'm sure!

$146 if in excellent condition...

My 6 month old 750 would get a $154.00 gift certificate, not in my life or theirs. I would rather give it away to a family member.

Come to think of it, maybe I should buy them all from Best Buy and re-sell them at Flea markets. I could then buy that home in Florida I always wanted.

No doubt they will attract some suckers. There is one born every minute.

This is to funny. They say my C530 isn't worth anything, and my Brand New 5 day old Zumo 550 is only worth $322.00. I just paid $600.00 for it.

Best Buy (Worst Buy) is one of the most despicable marketing fraudsters in existence IMO. If they're giving you a $322 in-store gift certificate, their out of pocket expense for that certificate is about $100. Then they'll wholesale it for ±400...that's a net profit of around $300 PLUS their over-priced profit margin on what they make off of you when you redeem your certificate.

Their pricing structure isn't anywhere near competitive. I've seen them price merchandise OVER the manufacturer's MSRP. Case in point...I recently bought an AT&T wireless phone system online for $105. AT&T's suggested retail price was $165 & Worst Buy was selling it in their stores for $175 (that's $10 OVER the full retail price).

For the life of me, I don't understand why anybody shops them & their brethern-in-crime Circuit City.

Best Buy is pretty bad price wise. The will have a few good deals but for the most part they are pretty bad. One of the best things about them is they will price match local businesses including walmart and other big chains.

best buy's a ripoff w/ these gps prices.

They are no different than a car dealer. You get tired of of the unit and buy something new then what to do with the old one? So this way you get new and don't have to worry about the old one. Simple I'll charge suggested retail give you 100.00 for old unit so new unit is 100.00 less. Unless you buy from Costco or Sams for less than what all that comes to. Confused that's the name of the game.

I don't think I will be trading in my 660 at Best Buy anytime soon. I would rather pass my old unit to my wife or keep it as a backup if I were to purchase something newer.
