Not a good deal, this is an old, discontinued model. You can get the current 255 for $100 delivered or the 255w for $130 delivered (factory refurbs with newest maps and 1 yr warranty).

FWIW, I bought this unit about 18 months ago (new, not refurb) for $150.....it is a great GPS but it's pretty dated at this point and I would think there would be better deals on GPS with text-to-speech for this price point or a bit more new....

From where? link plz...
Use google or try eBay. I typed in Garmin 255 and it shows as $99.99 @ TigerDirect. Don't know about s/h though, only did a quick search.
TigerDirect has the 255 factory refurb for $99.99. Free shipping on $100 and up so get a cheap filler or buy it with the leather case combo for $110 delivered. 4-5% ca$hback (FW or Bing) as well. You can wait and see if bing has another "TD sale" and get up to 10-15% back, but who knows when that will happen again?
I just got the 255 for one of the kids, I got a couple of lanyards for thumb drives (why did they quit including those with the drives?) to get the total over $100. The GPS looks and acts like new, has the 2010 maps on it, and includes a 1 yr Garmin warranty. Plain-ish Garmin box rather than retail packaging.
Either TD or Amaz0n for the refurb 255w for $130, less CB if you get it at TD.
This is the older model, but when you buy a refurbished from a retailer, register it with Garmin and then you should be able to download a map update (not sure about the 2010 maps) for a certain number of days. I have purchased refurbished items from TigerDirect and the first thing I do is register it with Garmin. I have the Garmin 350. On nice thing about it is that the display is fantastic. I have found the other lower grade Garmins to be somewhat grainy in comparison. The only complaint I have about the Garmin 350 is that it has an external antenna which sometimes can get in the way.
