This item: http://www.golfgods.com/item/0020513.html

Comes with the original box, carrying case, case strap, registration card, instructions, and little cleaning cloth for the lens. Since I said "comes with" that means the actual range finder is included too for you cynics out there that need it explicitly listed.

Retails for $449 + tax/shipping - give your best total price (i.e. S&H included) and it's yours if it beats the existing offer I've got. First come, first served. PM or email preferred...

Why are you selling this rangefinder? It has received geat reviews even on this website. What do find about it that makes it expendable?

It's not expendable. I have the option to get a brand new non-slope one for a certain price (less than the $399 it sells for), so I'm replacing the slope version with the non-slope version.

I may play in some competitions this year that allow the range finders (per new USGA rules), but the ones with slope are not allowed. They're allowed in handicap rounds and so forth, but not in tournament play that hasn't disallowed yardage-measuring devices.

So i'm not getting rid of it. I'm replacing it with the less-capable yet more conforming model.

To be clear, though: the one with slope is still legal for handicap rounds, etc. Just not in tournaments that will allow range finders.

I'll refer you to the part where I said "Retails for $449 + tax/shipping - give your best total price (i.e. S&H included) and it's yours if it beats the existing offer I've got. First come, first served. PM or email preferred..."

Anyone? Name a price. Hint: less than retail, clearly. In fact, less than the non-slope one.

BTW, I said this in the review:

The PinSeeker is waterproof and rugged. I not only dropped it in a pond in my testing, but I dropped it on rocks and a cartpath, in a bunker or two, and plenty of times on the grass. It survived each time, though not without a small scuff mark or two.

The one I have now is not the one I abused as part of the testing. I bought one and got another free. The one I bought stayed in the box until I was ready to use it last fall. The other one I sold awhile back.

The one I have doesn't look brand new or anything, but it doesn't look like it was ever dropped, either. It's 9/10. I could post pictures if anyone interested in buying is concerned.

Since nobody cares for the guessing game, here's the lowest price for which I'll sell it, S&H included: $325.

This is the Bushnell PinSeeker 1500 with slope. It comes with everything - including the box - you normally get for $449 (plus tax and S&H).

So, $325 out the door. Who wants it?

Mine's sold and ships today. Go ahead and use this thread to sell yours, Everardo. If it's to iowa, great. I'll close this thread when both have sold.

sorry to keep jacking this thread but just got back from using it a couple days ago. The best feature is the roving yardages where you can get yardage from all sorts of markes on the fairway. It helped out alot getting yardages to the front of the green..even our cart GPS couldn't do that..which just gave us a hard yardage directly to the center of the green..worth getting if you're getting serious about the game JMHO.;-)

Glad to hear you like it. I agree that it's great tool to pinpoint your distances.

Mine is sold now.
