    Why does it seem difficult to sell a new 93sv Chirp on here?

    I've had a post in the electronics section for awhile now.. 2 bites but nobody's come through..

    I saw Bass Pro has them on special now so I dropped the price a bit more..

    Any help to get rid of it guys? I unfortunately got a Solix 15 and 12 and don't need the Garmin.

    Thx.

    I have never had any trouble selling used electronics locally. You just have to price it cheap enough. The biggest reason for the low prices is that there is no warranty on second hand electronics. That brings additional risks no matter how new it is. The answer to your question is price. You are asking too much for it. shanemc has the 94sv with the more expensive GT51 transducer for $850. That's too high. New 93sv's can be had via ebay for $800. My best guess is that you'll have to price it $700-750 to sell it and be happy if you get that.

    You never mentioned which transducer CV52 or GT52. If it's GT52 you should promote that. If it's CV52 you need to disclose that.
    Which version of the map card 2016 or 2017? It makes a difference. If it's 2016 are you eligible for a free upgrade. If so, get it.

    Just my 2 cents. Not what you wanted to hear, but you did ask.

    My wife asks if I'm going to fish every day. I can't fish every day. Some days I might be sick.

    I tried twice to sell my electronics locally in the past 2 months and had zero success. There just doesnt seem to be a market for it around here.

    but I agree with lwinchester2

    Used, is used. Dumped my hb stuff....999, 360 sonar when jumping to garmin. Plan on taking 30% off the current new ebay price to sell it sight unseen. I sold my stuff locally. Was able to show it to the buyer on my boat before he pulled the trigger. Lot of abused stuff out there with hidden problems....

    Nothing personal against Bassdaddy65, he may be perfectly legit. But he just signed on to the forum and has no posting history.

    That makes buying something from him a little more risky than 'normal'

    Garmins dont have the best resale value, compared to the big two.

    I sold a 7sv and 93sv on e b a y. Got fair prices for both. You have to make a real effort to take great pictures, lots of them, and describe the pluses of the equipment.
