Like many, I’m always watching Ebay for good deals that might pop up, especially on detectors. It’s a good way to keep up with the real world value on a detector, find a deal and sometimes, get a few laughs either because of the unrealistic prices asked or because of the obvious scam nature of the auction. ( read: don’t buy brand new detectors from asian or african countries where wire transfer is the only method of payment!) Scams are usually fairly easy to root out. Buy from your home country, look at the sellers history and feedback. Keep up with the auctions and know the right price.

With that in mind, I’ll point out a few nice auctions from time to time. No guarantees here, just more or less showing you what I notice. In this case, an SD 2000, the first Minelab PI which some consider, with Sakina modifications, to be the penultimate of all the Minelab PI’s.

This one has at least some of the Sakina Mods ($$$$) and even comes with a Hermit pick. To boot, it’s offered by Russ Ford, reputable dealer in Northern Arizona:

SD 2000 with Hermit Pick
Now, who said you needed $1000 to get into the PI game? Not anymore.

More to come…
