Ive found a lot of the E-bay auctions for marine electronics to be shops that are doing advertisments.I wanted a second screen for my furuno nav-net 1732-c nt radar/ plotter. I was finding rediculously low prices on whole radar unit that the sellers had(0 ) feedback and most bidders were also with (0).I started checking the bidders that had feedback and one that I lost for a 1832c nt unit was some old lady on MT Washington that never bid on anything except for knitting and crochet items.The prices they were winning the stuff for was still way below retail.I started asking if these were real auctions but never got any replies.The stuff I knew I could win wasnt any kind of a bargin but was like you said almost full retail.A lot of the stuff is old outdated Pre- DGPS never mind WAAS.I think there was a lot of shill bidding to drive the prices up.I saw one unit the 1900cnt that was a demo and someone supposedly won go back up for sale by the same seller after a couple of weeks and when i questioned it He said it was a different unit.I wondered how many demo units for one item he really had??????
