    Last group buy for reference - https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/closed-garmin-group-buy.512810/

    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.

    the unit DOES NOT require a subscription to physically function. I use it off road with my GAIA app bluetoothed to the Ipad for offroad navigation.

    The caveat is...no subscription, no services like SOS feature, texting, etc. The GPS will still pick up a signal, BT still works so its essentially a super expensive GPS in that mode. I was just waiting to buy a subscription for when all the camping sites and offroad parks open up in WA/OR. I still use this on every outing I go on (pre download the map on my Ipad, BT this device and ipad together and I get a dot where I am on the GAIA app). Works great for that purpose, pin point accurate.

    I'm running it the same way but with the subscription. I'm going to see about also pairing it with my phone to run gaia. Hopefully it works just like the iPad.

    I fly with one of these. I pay a one time a year fee, unlimited messages. Two 406 ACR epirbs in the tail boom, one activated by water, the other activated by 5 g or more. Then the factory installed 122.2 ELT that is also activated by a g-meter. I would say I am covered.
