Contact Ace Line Haulers.....We did once get a group of guys wanting them. If I remeber right we needed 10 guys. The deal was good. Included cases for them. If I am right they were $500 each tax's inc.

ok so heres the deal I contacted Vartan at Ace and they do NOT do group buys and cant ever remember doing one
they will not sell directly for anything less then msrp which is 599.00 (so as not to undercut their vendors I would guess) Vartan contacted a local suppler here on the mainland and arranged for a bit
of a price break at 525.00 each +taxes which is still better then anyones sale prices, we need to have 5 guys commit to get this price and we can pick them up locally.
I am going to buy one probably this week regardless so if anyone was thinking of buying the extra bit off may help.
let me know if your interested and I'll get the ball rolling

That is right along the same line that we had to do last time this came up. I believe it was on RVP's old Killfish web site a few years ago. We would have bought them though PNT. I think....Maybe someone recalls...

Hey guys, I may be wrong, but at last springs pirate days at Harbour Chandlers,
the ace fellas had them on for $499. Maybe someone remembers? I had already
spent all my $ on a new gps/chartplotter or I would have bought one.

They were special units...Rebuilts and factory seconds/left overs from older and other units....Everyone of them was still great a great unit. I knew a guy whos father bought one and had a issue and they ended up giving him a new unit... Vartan is great that way...He makes sure his customers are happy....Great Company...

I always get my hand smacked when I sell them for $509 at work. Everyone is asked to sell them at $599, but you will rarely find them for more than $549 at any retailer on the Island.

I am telling you that ACE asks all of their retailers to sell the units for $599, most retailers sell them on a daily basis for $549. I had advertised them in the past for $509 and numerous other retailers complained to ACE about my price. My price of $509 was due to another retailer selling them for $539. Vartan does not sell direct, he is however the best at what he does, and that is service. I worked for ACE for a time and at that time we shared a list of retailers for you to choose from. There is no price control, however the margins are not very high, hence the reason you do not normally find them for sale in retail for less than $549.

Short memory, that was not the deal at all! The deal was not direct, it was facilitated between Killfish.com, Ace Line Hauler and PNT. It consisted of 1)Ace Line Hauler, 1) Hauler case, prawn bait. It was an awesome deal. At the time, I worked for myself, but can say I have worked for myself & everyone else too! LOL
People will find me, and when they do, we can talk. You may or may not walk to your vehicle with a brand new ACE. You`ll decide.
