From were should i buy from: USA shop or online (ebay)

Hello to all,

i am going to buy my first gps device. My parents are going to USA for a 20 days trip and i am thinking whether i should tell them to buy me a GPS from a ground shop over there, or should i buy from ebay?

Because i live in Europe probably when i buy from ebay, i would also incur about 50-60$ shipping and another 15%VAT....

Are there any US people in here, to help me with the pricing at local shops?

As i am a first time buyer i will not bother so much with the device, i either Garmin or Tom Tom would be just fine...

Thanks!

Hi fekish. Welcome to the site!

I wouldn't buy from ebay. If you want warranty support, tech support, you need to buy from an authorized dealer. Some authorized dealers may sell on ebay, so be sure to check and make sure before you buy.
