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.

And this why we pay R13500 locally vs R9000 in the US for Fenix 5x

Hi Nandosguy

 

We are sorry to her about your bad experience with purchasing a Garmin Edge 520 Bundle from Gumtree. We also recently experienced some Credit Card fraud and there might be some cheap Garmin Fenix 3 units floating around the internet at very attractive prices. They have been black listed so the Warranty wont holdup.

 

Anyway Vetseun has already kindly offered you his Garmin Edge 500. If you are ever interested in purchasing the Garmin Edge 520. We would be happy to help you out with this and we will offer you the amount you paid to the scammer as a Discount / Voucher. Just send us a PM and we will help you out.

 

Unfortunately this only applies to Nandosguy and we hope that we don't get a flood of messages about scammers suddenly working there magic on every other Hubber.... :D

@nandos guy sorry about that but don't think only foreigners scam local guys are scamming people like crazy, oh and by foreigners I mean Nigerians while they are on top of the list locals are just as bad and not all.

 

@vetseun very nice gesture and nice that you helping the guy out

@Vetseun, would you mind sending pictures of all your other unused cycling paraphernalia. I can get in contact with a Nigerian prince that could scam me, just need to make sure on what items though.

 

Kuddos for the gesture
