[QUOTE="Phoenix76, post: 291415, member: 6518"] Whilst I certainly agree with you John, when it comes to the secondhand market , there is very often a different mindset. Whether it detectors or anything else, when you go to flea markets or garage sales these days, most of what's on offer is grossly overpriced. Once upon a time, you would go to these markets and you were sure to pick up a bargain. I think people have become far to commercial and are trying to get as much out of the prospective customer as they can. If you sit back and take a rational view of what's on offer, so many times I'm just flabbergasted at what they are offering. Many times they are selling junk under the guise of it being an antique. And when I can go the the hardware for example, and buy a brand new shovel or the like for less dollars than some bloke is asking for a piece of rust, well, I'm just getting turned off these markets. Yep, sometimes I've made a good buy, but those times are becoming rare. Cheers Bill [/QUOTE]
