Georgethenault@gmail.com Posted October 1, 2017 Report Posted October 1, 2017 Trading in good gps units only to have them destroyed does a great disservice to those pilots that cannot afford new units.It may not even be the best economical choice since there is a healthy market for used 430s and 530s.

Georgethenault@gmail.com Posted October 1, 2017 Report Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) I been told differently but with all the avionics professionals here ,the fate of a 430 or 530 returned to Garmin or Avidyne should be easily determined. Edited October 1, 2017 by Georgethenault@gmail.com Quote

Chase told me otherwise and he's the one buying them. He could not afford to buy and destroy them, how does that make financial sense ? He's not returning them to Garmin or Avidyne either, he's refurbishing them and reselling them, often to the training market. Quote
Georgethenault@gmail.com Posted October 1, 2017 Report Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) Its The manufacturers doing it Ive been told not private avionics shops.obviously.And no it doesnt make financial sense unless you want to control the market or reduce liability tails.Why does Avidyne offer a huge rebate for a competitors unit?where do they resell these units if they are not destroyed?

George, This IS a private program, not one run by an OEM. All Garmin trade-ins are resold by our company directly to fleets, flight schools, and private customers. Lastly, our company offers the rebate, as the Avidyne unit is a slide-in replacement for the Garmin box. Edited October 2, 2017 by Avionics Source 1 Quote

Georgethenault@gmail.com Posted October 3, 2017 Report Posted October 3, 2017 Again I am sure any private company would resell the traded in units, but what of the oem programs? Quote
thinwing Posted October 12, 2017 Report Posted October 12, 2017 I traded in a BK transponder for a mode s upgradeable to ads b with BK...perhaps those were destroyed I really haven't a clue...but Chase is running this as trade in of a salable asset driven by abnormally high resale prices for vintage 430w/530w garmin units...

It's live and well! Looks like Ken beat me to it. Those are both active and current best prices. If you have a non waas 430, I'd consider ejecting NOW before Garmin cuts the WAAS upgrade potential. 1 Quote
