Barnstormers has a few listings for inexpensive Garmin 430/530 units

anyone had any experience with these sources?
Thx.

There is no such thing as an inexpensive Garmin 430/530. I'd be
willing to bet that your looking down the barrel of a scam.

Even if it is not a scam, Garmin would probably not honor a warranty
on a unit that wasn't sold by one of their authorized distributors.
These offshore boxes are often referred to as "gray market" units.
They might be legally sold and supported in some faraway land, but not
on this continent.

Caveat Emptor!
