Clean out the Closet!

I started to get interested in geocaching again. I've been lurking in the forums and listening to podcasts. The winter is waning and the thought of getting into this sport is exciting. The problem is finding the money to buy a GPS. What to do? I try not to burden my family with my own interests and pursuits. So I've got to come up with some money on my own. Where do I turn? eBay springs to mind. Time to clear out the ol' closet of junk I don't want anymore. I have some old recording equipment I don't use anymore. Especially since I have easy access to a recording studio if I need one. So I'm thinking I might sell some of that stuff.

I have an Mackie 1202-VLZ Pro audio mixer, two Matchbox II IHF-Pro Interface amps, and a Shure Beta 87 microphone. I think I should be able to fetch about 400-500 for these items. That should be enough money to buy a good GPS with a little extra to put toward some woodworking tools or some boardgames (my other two hobbies).

I'm thinking of getting the eTrex Venture Cx from Garmin. Either that or the eTrex Legend also from Garmin. I've heard good things about both of them, and a few bad things too. But I think all in all, either will be a good starter GPS unit.
