[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 624417, member: 4012"] That detector you are interested in is listed on eBay from Mauritania in Africa. By the time you have paid $US1,800 for the detector and $US195 for freight, plus 10% GST on both after conversion to $AU, you'd be spending over $AUD3,000 - which doesn't seem like much of a bargain really, especially for a first detector, which you don't have the experience to properly evaluate if and when it arrives safely. Anyway, I'm not sure what you mean by "[i]correct for the model[/i]". Each serial number is paired with a particular security image hologram - have you verified with Minelab that they are a matching pair and that the serial number is valid? [/QUOTE]
