There are a bunch of these on Ebay for sale, many new in the box with wrap,
and the best part is that they are for the most part SIGNIFICANTLY less
expensive than buying retail. Ive seen them for $135 and up on the III's,
and more on the plus'.

Fathers day is sure to drive up the prices, ie gifts, but I too plan to
look into a III from there after fathers day. I like the mapping of the
III and the speed indicator, not to mention the built in maps. Used a III
on a trip to baja in a motorhome, great device....
