Title: Price seems to good to be true
Post by: October1 on August 02, 2022, 02:05:43 AM: Has anyone bought from beyondtheinfinity.com?

They only want $468.38 for a HELIX 7 CHIRP MEGA SI GPS G4. That seems suspect because of how low the price is. Have any of you bought from them?

Post by: rnvinc on August 02, 2022, 09:02:44 PM: Humminbird requires dealers to price current product line as MRP (minimum retail price) ... or they won’t be a Humminbird dealer for long ...

Current HELIX 7 CHIRP MEGA SI GPS G4N is $719.99

There is a somewhat cheaper HELIX 7 CHIRP SI GPS G4N at $519.99

I would be wary of any place selling at less than Humminbird MRP ...

Will probably buy from Cabela's or Hodges. I believe Hodges is authorized? And they want $661.44 for the Helix 7 MEGA SI.

I mis-spoke ... it is MAP like you noted ... minimum advertised price ... but it should be the same price as Humminbird advertises ...

I do know of one well known dealer that advertises the Humminbird MAP but can quote a cheaper price by calling the order in instead of buying from the website ...

I would love to know who that dealer is.
