What is the cheapest gps unit that i can use for geocaching?

i dont want to spend over $100 on a gps unit and i've seen some at wal-mart within my price range will those work for geocaching?

For under $100, it'll be really basic but it will be enough for geocaching. You're probably looking at the Garmin eTrex or eTrex H. They allow you to enter coordinates and then use the compass page to guide you to the coordinates. That's pretty much all you need from a GPS receiver to go geocaching. At some point you might want to buy the data cable so you can send caches from your computer to the GPS receiver instead of manually entering the coordinates.

I'm sure you can find a decent used one on Ebay or a refurbished item on Overstock.com.

YOu only need a really basic GPS for GeoCaching.

All the bells and whistles are nice to have but certainly not necessary.

Here's a Dandy on REI.com outlet site:

as long as a GPs gets you to the right Lat and Long. It is good. everything else is icing on the cake.

My personal favorite gps unit is a garmin. simple to use, less the 200 bucks. you can get some good deals on used ones on ebay and in the geocaching forums on geocaching.com
