Title: Garmin discontinuing DC-30 and our reduced pricing on Garmin.
Post by: GCPS on March 04, 2011, 09:23:26 am
 :-[  Hey guys,

It's been awhile since we popped in to say HI, but wanted to let you all know I just found out Garmin is discontinuing the DC-30 collars and bundles.  We currently have 3 bundles and 10 collars left and once they are gone - that's it!!  Just wanted to give you guys a heads up.....

Our magnetic mount antennas just went on clearance price (currently $34.95 shipped) - we have 10 of those left..... looks like we won't be carrying Garmin any longer since I don't believe the DC-40, and don't carry products I don't believe in.  I've had guys who have had these collars ripped off by hogs and lost - for the price increase another collar option or stronger option should come wih it.  The feedback I have is that it is not a very good product, and I am very disappointed to hear they are stopping production on the DC-30.

We also only have 5 TOPO DVD and 3 TOPO SD-CARDS left which I have reduced the price on as well to move the rest of the product out....

here is my Garmin page:  http://gulfcoastpetsupplies.com/searchquick-submit.sc?keywords=garmin

Have any questions, give us a call 941-921-7546.  Happy Hunting!!!

If they are still $169, this is about the going rate everywhere.  As far as the DC-40's being junk, well I have recently parted ways with all the 30's, and switched to 40's after some good ol' fashioned testing.   ;)

I've been around the Garmin products for a very long time, and I would venture to say I know how to use them better than most.   ;) 

Funny thing about all this.  I have never turned a dog loose without a name collar (all of which are day-glo), and I have yet to have one come off in the woods.  That includes while those vicious hogs are attacking them while they are supposed to be finding armadillos.   8)

I couldn't imagine hunting without my garmin.  I had to send back one dc40 but have had real good luck with the other three 40's.

The major difference between the DC-30 and DC-40 is the ability to have 'collar lock' and to have a longer battery life by only transmitting every 2 minutes (hence increasing the battery life).  I don't know many hunters who want to pay $60 more to change a setting to 2 minutes - do you really not want to know where your dog is for 2 minutes, if they are already far out - that could take them out of range.  For the guys we deal with here, they tested them for us, and we shipped them ALL back.  I believe if they remained the same price as the DC-30, it might be a different story but garmin wanted everyone to charge $250 for those collars. I see they are selling for less now, but the original price that came out made it almost impossible to sell for less than $220 with free shipping.
