I have upgraded my Garmin for the Munga. Ive got a Garmin 500 edge that I replaced. Its like new. You can have it if you want it. Better that somebody uses it than having it lying in a drawer gathering dust.

If you want it, pm me your address and I will send it off tomorrow morning.

I recently paid for a Garmin Edge 520 on Gumtree. The man who sold it's name was Hannis Hatting , he never posted it and won't take my calls or respond to messages. All I have is his cell number. It seemed legit at the time but now I'm feeling like a prize dumbass. Please be carefull and lookout for this bastard. His number is : 072 919 7596

Have you posted the serial numbers of the stolen stock somewhere would be good for potential buyers to check before purchasing from Gumtree / Olx

I Have no words, I feel better about humanity now. I have PMd you. thank you Sir.

 

Now, here's what you do next: Phone navworld and tell them your Garmin 500 is acting up and that you would like to have it repaired. They'll then say that they don't do repairs, only out of warranty exchanges which you then opt to do. They'll tell you to bring/send the 500 in, pay the difference of roughly R1500 and get a brand new Garmin 520 in return, in the box.

 

I know, because this is what I did. Got a Garmin 500 for free from a friend. Now I have a new 520, with warranty. Yaay for Navworld. And flipping kudos to Vetseun for being a legend.

Flip that's an awesome deal

Okay, new plan, you do what I said above, then also get the Garmin from EasyBike and sell it straight away for the same amount that Navworld charges for the out of warranty swap out, thus meaning that you end up with a brand new Edge 520 for gratis  :w00t:  :w00t:  :w00t:

 

Disclaimer: I am of course kidding and you should under no circumstances take advantage of either of these parties is such a manner, but at least you still have two awesome ways out of a crappy situation.

And here I was pissed off that I didn't get that garmin. I called hatting after I saw the ad. He didn't answer his phone. An hour later he actually called me back, which I was chuffed at. He told me that unfortunately the unit was already sold. Shoo
