    How to get an Apex and a LiveScope for $1611.00

    No break-ins or buying of stolen equipment involved. Here is how I did it. Firstly, credit card points. If you're not taking advantage of credit card points, you're letting free money walk away. I charge everything and pay it off monthly. Total cash received, $1928.00.

    Secondly, used $800 tax refund.

    Third, sold a G3 Helix. $1500.

    Sold a a G1 Solix $1400

    Sold my Mega Live $1150.

    Total cash accumulated $6778.00-$146.00 for shipping all of the items=$6632.00

    The cost for the Apex13 and the Livescope system=$8243-$6632=$1611.00

    I think you left out the cost of the Garmin control head to connect the Livescope... Unless you are talking about Mega Live... which isn't a Livescope.

    You may want to edit your post for clarity.

    No, I didn't leave the control head out. The Apex was $4525.49, the Garmin GPSMap $1992.30, and the Livescope system was $1724.99 for a grand total of $8242.78, which I rounded up to $8243.00.

    It is much better. IMHO, Mega Live is not going to be able to compete with just a transducer and software. The LS black box surprised me with how heavy it is, and it pulls a lot of juice!

    Well i don't agree with your counting tax refund as free money, you (might ) have worked hard for that.
    Can you elaborate on your likes on live scope, I know I'd like to have a little more info.
