First let me say I am a newbie & did not imagine this would be my first entry!
I have been doing heaps of research everywhere on a first detector and eventually decided on a x-terra 705 over a EuroAce & an F5 for my first outing
mainly due to the possibility of prospecting with it in Central Vic when I become proficient.
Anyway saw a near new unit on Ebay that was well priced but left me wary due to and exaggerated RRP.
Heres the ad:
X-TERRA 705 Metal Detector + Extra Gold Prospecting Coil - Worth $1500 all up
Regrettable sale. Brought 2 months ago, never used BRAND NEW
Thought I better email to confirm some stuff & heres how it went... (at this stage I have omitted names)
Hi, I am interested in this item but some clarification is required.
In the Title Description you say '+ Extra Gold Prospecting Coil'.
What are the details of the extra coil.
You also mention that that the item is worth $1500 all up but the
X-Terra 705 gold pack (pictured & described) only retails for A$850.00?
They also do a dual pack with the standard coil and the DD 10' x 5' Gold Coil
for about A$990.00 retail.
What extras are included in this sale to bring the worth up to $1500.00
Don't get me wrong, this would be a good deal if it sell under your original entry price of $750 but I still would like to know what I am bidding on.
Also do you have the original invoice for any potential warranty issues?
As it does not have the US sticker on the box I assume it was purchased locally.
Thank you.

I brought this 2 months ago for $1500 in queensland whilst on holiday for my partner
Yes i have an invoice. And they do not retail for $849. I looked into buying them one ebay prior and these were non authentic ones from china
all the information is online on there official website for the product
Deleted link to Minelab website
My response...
Glad to hear you have an invoice. Def interested in the unit, but if successful I will pickup & check the security tags
as I am too aware of the kick offs from China.
Link Deleted - You who I'm talkin about.
These guys are Minelab certified, Aust wide & thier largest local dealer.
Please check the price for the Gold Pack.
Anyway I thought I would bid anyway and check it out before parting with any coin.
Well I won and cop the response I got an hour or so ago after the auction...
the invoice is for my private tax use and wont be provided with sale and I do not accept pick up.
would u like me to offer to second winning bid
Any advice apart from run?
Thanks in Advance!!
Cheers,
Katman
