    Default What do you think a HB Helix 9 G2N CHIRP MEGA SI GPS is worth with only 23 hrs?


    Yep that's right a Hummingbird Helix 9 G2N CHIRP MEGA SI Gps that has only been used for 23 hours total? I am the original buyer and have all the original box and the unit is perfect, heck it is basically almost new.

    I have to give up fishing because of health issues and did a lot of upgrades to my little boat last year. I am going to sell the boat as well but with it just being a 14ft modv-jon the price I would have to ask with all the upgrades I think would be to high for most interested in that type and size boat.

    I know what I paid for the unit but I have no idea of what the used market price would be. It will include everything that came new with the unit including the retail box.

    Any suggestions as to a fair price where neither the buyer nor the seller gets bent over?

    Thanks in advance guys.

    This is just a guess but since the Helix G3 models just released probably around $1000

    Sounds like it is basically new, there are two issues though.. 1, you lose the warranty when selling, so people aren't going to want to drop say $100 less than retail on a $1000+ unit with no warranty even though its basically new. And 2, the g3 just came out. For what it is worth, the g2n are $999.99 at bass pro and cabelas right now. Searching the ebay sold listings, they seem to be going for 8-900 but that is before the new ones dropping in price from 1299 to 999.

    I understand what you are saying, guess that about 900.00 would be a decent price as I will also be including a zero lines mapping sd card as a part of the deal as well. The mapping cards run about 99.00 so figure that in a unit with 23 hours for 200.00 less than new should be considered a deal. Granted as a seller I am trying to limit my losses but I understand how the economic part factors in.

    Will try to get pics and post that in the classifieds next week.

    Same with the 2018 Terrova with the spotlock but that is at least still current model! I will be trying to sell that local though as I am not interested in fooling with trying to ship that.

    Thanks for the responses guys.

    rule of thumb - look up the current lowest online price, then deduct 20%

    could always put it on eBay to try and get top dollar, but after the fees it won't be much more than what I said above

    Yeah, pretty much what I figured, the units are going for 1000.00 and the zero line map card is about a 100.00 so that puts pricing right at 1100.00 new. Figure with only 23 hours of use that 900.00 should be close enough.

    Hurts when you are losing 500.00 on a unit used that little! Dang new models fault!

    Put it up for sale in the members ads section for what you want for it. Then you can adjust price if it don't move fast. I'd give you what you want but I'm broker than dirt poor after taxes! I just got stuck with a Helix 7 G2 SI. I bought it new and give to someone and now it's given back to me after some hash words. 113 hours to be exact! I got four DF's between two boats of my own!
    Good Luck!

    Not much different than brand new cars and brand new boats.....they lose a nice chunk of value as soon as you take them home.
