[QUOTE="Guest, post: 45204"] Good advice. One scam I had seen on EBay, for a "brand new in box" GPX5000, the seller gave me a serial number that was initially verified by Minelab. Minelab later contacted me for further details of the sale, which I passed on, as they said the serial number came from an earlier GPX5000 that had been sold in 2011. They obviously knew something was amiss but don't know what they did to follow it through just that it was promptly removed from EBay soon after giving Minelab the details. If you can't see the detector in person I would steer clear of buying 2nd hand unless from a reputable dealer.
