Who says W. Marine is overpriced?

I just picked up a Garmin GPSMAP 76CS Plus from West Marine for $165. This unit retails for $389.00 but was in their clearance section for $199.00. On top of that I used a $5.00 coupon and was given an additional 15% off for the sale that starts tomorrow.

This unit is very similar to the newer GPSMAP 76CSx, but does not have a slot for an SD Card. The 76CS Plus also has a few additional software/interface tweeks like "Sailboat Mode" and a "Marine Log".

I generally find WM to be overpriced, but I was pleasantly surprised with this purchase.
