GrundleLove Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Seriously? I really cant think of anything so difficult. First i wanted a 798cSi unit....sounds great right? its listed at 1049.99. Super. Ask the gentleman at BPS which would be better in my situation, side or down imaging? he Obviously had no ****** idea so he said... why not get the HDS5-Gen2 structure scan bundle for 999.99 which has Side AND down imaging? I say: GREAT! show me. Oh wait...they dont have any left in store or online. So hes trying to do some endless isles sht and work with managers (really very much awesome customer service on his part) but i really just wanted to get the hell out of there at this point. So i ended up walking out of there with nothing. Entire trip to BPS pretty much wasted. So now i see that the promo from Lowrance ends on the 30th. But like...can you get the LSS-1 and a HDS7Gen2 from two different websites and it will still count towards the rebate? What a pain in the ass this is turning into because BPS has the HDS7's in stock...but no LSS-1....but Cabelas does.....so can i get one from each and still get the 300$ rebate? What a hassle. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted April 24, 2012 Super User Posted April 24, 2012 Do yourself and your wallet a favor and purchase from a marine electronics dealer instead of a big box general sporting goods place like BPS. Decide what you want and do a web search for it. You will save several hundred dollars. Quote
Nice_Bass Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 I disagree with wayne. See if you can buy the floor model and find out how long it has actually been there- with the hds 5's most likely not long at all. Right now the insight model has a $100 rebate, lss is priced at $449 and if bought with the hds5 comes with a $300 rebate- so really only $150. $750 for the total package is not a bad deal at all. You can also have the store order it in and pick it up in a week or so. Quote
GrundleLove Posted April 24, 2012 Author Posted April 24, 2012 Yea, i just ordered the HDS gen 2 7 with insight bundle and LSS-1 for 1399 with the 100 rebate it will be 1299....not bad in my eyes. I just said *** it and ordered it out of frustration 1 Quote
