Ok,
You know I have said how I dislike Chartplotters. I have an opportunity to get one... I just need to come up with a fair price.
The 540s comes with a basemap, but has the lower resolution display... it does draw less then the OLED models. so there is that.
I see the 540s has been discontinued by WM. They say the last price they had on a new one was $479 (with xducer)
I have a friend who has one he is upgrading from. WHat is a fair price for a used 540s with out the transducer (the transducer will cost $129 to replace.
Please take a swing, any help would be appreciated. It is a friend so I don't want to rip him off, or pay too much.
THanks,
Marine eletronics are somewhat like buying a new car. Once 'off the lot'...they rapidly depreciate. I know you want to be fair...I feel 1/2 price is more than fair for a used pce....then take off the needed transducer. Just my opinion

SO you are saying that
Was: $599.99
Now: $494.99 /2 = $250? I was thinking more like $400....
More thinking to do. THanks Frank, I will return to you the grog you just gave me....
ANY other opinions?
If it was purchased by them but still 'new...in the box' your $400 figure would seem fair.....but if it has been previously installed and used............

Thanks Frank,
I was thinking $400... :P
I completely agree with Frank, "in the Box" would be worth around $400 depending on your negotiating skills, installed would be worth half price.
