Humminbird 997c SI for 1400.00 Seller has other units

Is 1400.00 a good price for this unit? it is new in the box with a one year warranty.
Humminbird 997c SI Combo Color Fish Finder and GPS Chartplotter, with 200/83k/455/800 khz Transducer, Temp and speed included Navionics and Hotmaps Pre-loaded

Update

I figured that it was a great deal. I purchased it on ebay -- here is the link.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=160188443942

The seller has a very good rating including feedback from buyers of other units, A 30 day return policy, plus I put it on my Visa (Paypal).
It is in transit and should be here in a few days.

I was planning on getting a 797 SI.. But Santa said it was OK :)

If you can buy it at that price, get a boat load. You won't have any trouble selling them.

It sounds too good, especially if its suppose to have the maps too. Sounds like a suspicious Ebay deal.

Daniel,, Do you know the seller?

It's a fantastic deal if you know the seller and know WHY they are selling it for that price.. and you can be certain about the warranty etc...

If it's E-bay and you don't know the seller or can't verify that the unit is as described, then RUN FOREST,,, RUN..

Wholesale cost is about $1700, which should go down when the 1197 is available. At $1400 you can't go wrong, even if it is used.

Check this out!

The link below has the 997 without the NAV pak for $1700.74 or $1870.72 with the NAV pak & you get a $150 rebate from Humminbird. Total cost $1550.74 without NAV pak or $1720.72 with NAV pak, plus shipping which ain't much. Not bad! I e-mailed about the transducer & mounting hardware and they said all is included.

I looked at them.Tried to research them, none available. Could not call them. Could not come to the place and pick it up. I also don't think HB would allow them to be sold that low.
There are lots of scams out there. E/M HB greg and get his advice

If you were refering to www.Jandhproducts.com , they must be legit. I've bought 2 units from them, 2 of my friends just bought the HB 363's and recieved them in just 3 days and my brother-in-law just bought a HB 565. No one has had any complaints. You can contact them by the e-mail on their home page. You will recieve a quick reply. :D

I love a deal and no one is any cheaper then me. And I like to see people do well. I checked on the competed sales for the last 90 days And I think you got the lowest price. On ebay at least you can check the profile on the seller. I payed big bucks for a camper on ebay, site unseen, about 500 miles from me. but I went to pick it up with cash in hand. If it wasn't what it was suppose to be they would not have got my money

I took the time to call humminbird. They had me go to their site and at the top it says WHERE TO BUY. These are all their authorized dealers. You can go state by state or to the right is the internet dealers. She said this is it and if they have them she don't no where they are coming from. There was also a mention of the warranties..The word authorized dealer came up.

i truly hope you have not had a problem with your buy but this site can hurt people.Sometimes we have to research more then price.

I've seen this site for more then a year but since it won't die on this page
I've looked at it harder and it looks criminal. Here is an E/M I sent and his response. It sure don't sound like the site he has.

If needed. this is a business I run from my house, it is strictly internet and
I

dont have a brick//motor store. My warheosue for the 997C units is in Bayville,

NJ. I cna have a unit at my location in MI if you want to stocp by, but usually

easier to just ship it direct to your house
