    Personally I wouldn't pay more than 400-450 for a 55 or flasher of equal caliber. Doesn't matter if the guy thinks it's worth 900 in the stores...
    Ice 45's top should be 400$ come winter that's if they're basically brand new.

    Bought a 45 4 seasons ago for $350 , have been looking to upgrade but people think just because they paid a stupid amount from retail because of the shit exchange rate that the used market is just as good. Wait it out for a good deal, should be lots come winter

    It seems like the ice electronics market just keeps going up and up every season. I recently picked up a vx1-pro for $250 at the CSI grand opening. Now the wife won't be stealing the LX-5 when we fish together, which is rarely..

    I agree with you there!
    I have bought stuff at the wrong time and found that when it came time to sell it , I couldn't justify giving it away but couldn't get anything out of it.
    It sucks.
    I figured buying now would be good before the wave of new flashers come out and the new prices jump, everyone will think there used ones are worth more.

    My friend has the 55 and loves it. Only took him 5 years to figure out how to work it too! :p

    Ya i agree on the sellers greed these days - yes its a 'free market', but cmon... Selling used stuff used one-two-three seasons at full retail or more says lots about the seller, none good IMHO.

    Was looking for an entry level for a back up/guest unit last year around $250 of any brand. A few came up but the seller said it basically sold instantly every time
