$522, X51v, second battery, 3 year warranty, Dell BT GPS, USB cradle, shipping - directly from Dell about 4 weeks ago. Don't know why I sprung for the 3 year warranty. This thing will be obsolete within 1 year.
I just got my axim 520MHz with GPS kit for a total price of $460. Surely not the best deal but am happy with it.

I bought my x51v on ebay for 199 in box unopened with 3year waranty and lots of extras like 2nd batery and screen protectors along with all the crap that came in the box like dock and case and power dongle also mine came with a 1gb sd card. So you see lots of people buy these things bulk and cant get rid of them and i thank them for it look at what all i got for $199 and $30 shipping.
He accidently placed an order for a bunch of Dell Laptops and forgot that the Dell Rep had quoted three Axim's with it.
The bean counters didn't catch them on the quote so the order was placed just like normal.
When they came in, he passed them out to us FREE of charge.
You should post that in the Deals section.

I checked every coupon site, read forums and the best I could do was $400 range. I got mine off of ebay as well for $300 but I sure would have prefered direct, less worries and less work. Damn it.......they f$#* you in the drive through......
Similar experience here, but bought from Dell. I spent hours and weeks looking for a better deal, and in the end I couldn't break $350 shipped for a 1 year warranty, even though I saw some people had gotten a 2 yr warranty and GPS for 280ish... Highly disappointing, but within the time frame I had to work with, the deal just wasn't there. (That price is even with 20% off + $45 off 400 Delf.) I didn't see anything better on fleabay either and didn't really trust it for that amount of money either.
I love my Ax51v but still feel I got ripped off, relative to what others had gotten. But what can you do?
OP: that's nice, but it still doesn't reflect on anyone's intelligence nor the effort they put in to finding deals. You got lucky. Congratulations.
I fist pruchased a dell Axim X5 for $ 100.00 played around with it for a few months and then made the upgrade to a X50V for $350.00.. I feel I got my money's worth...I still have warranty ..
