We have cases, guards, and other stuff but the GPS already comes with the car charger/wall charger/ windshield mount, and maps. So its hard to sell accessories with them, but our store is starting to push it and I really want to try, any suggestions? (its so hard to sell cases that are 19.99!, so expensive)

    You have to make it appealing to the buyer. Maybe the case will be an handy way for them to carry the unit for air travel so they can use it in a rental car. The card may keep the screen from sun damage etc. etc. What makes the items you want to sell worth buying? justwondering

    tell them the GPS is fragile and is likely to fall and break. stephen c

    The cases are seriously important. Go on amazon.com and do a search, research buyers reviews of those products and see why people say those accessories help them. I have 2 GPS units, and I bought a case because it helps me put everything related to my GPS in one bag. When I travel, or take the unit from one car to another, I have a bag to put it in. It helps to keep the unit safe (they are cushioned) and helps keep track of the cord. It makes sure the unit won’t get crushed or crack/scratch the screen when thrown in another bag. Also, sometimes the ends of those cords are fragile (I’ve torn 2 of them) so you want to pack it away with the unit in the case. People break into cars and steal GPS units. If your car is in a parking lot, its best to take it out and put it in a case and take it with you. Bonita_Morenita
