Have a chance to buy one of these units pretty cheap. There is a local auction site that sells returned products. We have bought many things from them. Apparently it is just the head unit, no cables, no antenna, no transducer, nothing but the head unit. Any idea what it might be worth? Can I buy everything else separately? I found cabling, etc and pretty sure they are the right ones but have not seen an antenna. Right now the bid is at $90. The unit has not been tested as there is no power cable with it.
I understand I may be throwing away whatever I pay for it but any thoughts on what it is worth if it does work? How hard is the install? I have an older Garmin unit now that has an antenna already but would likely require a different one.
 
I would scoop it up.. I think the risk would be worth it.. I have the same unit.. You can probably source a power cable pretty easily

I have a Go 9 on my CC. The external GPS antenna is used through NMEA2000. If it is not an xse version it does not support a transducer. The power cable can be had on Amazon for ~$45. But an external N2K gps antennas about $250 and a basic transducer starts at ~$250 as well. The Go 9 list's for ~$1150 with transducer and c-maps, no external antenna. If that unit does not have a warranty then I would consider a new one, but that's me.

It sold for $140. I forgot about it so didn't bid on it
