jjbond Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Hi guys/gals... I'm wondering what the fair asking price is to ask for a GP 3000 in lightly used condition with factory issued items (coil, chargers etc), and 1 extra battery?I am about to list one for sale but don't want to appear to be ripping anyone off as I've only ever bought 4500's.I see on ebay prices ranging from $1,700- $2,200.Thanks folksJenniferhttp://www.prelovedplacer.com/forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought my GP 3000 about four months ago on eBay. It is stock as originally sold new in mint condition. I paid $1625. There wasn't a scratch on it. The seller included the part 1 & 2 CD discs of Jonathan Porter, on how to use this detector. Nothing beats mint condition. The discs were not advertised with it. But the seller and I made good friends with one another. He even helped with prospecting advice. Also when changing coils and batteries when to switch off the detector or leave it on. Great buying experience and guy I dealt with.Good luck JenniferJimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

explorer1 Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Hi Bill,I too would like that info on mods and Woody.I believe that ML got it right the first time. But with restrictions such as timing, tuning, etc. we now have the 5K.I can see in the future, hand held sensors that are wireless. Placed on the ground, transmitting to a central control box, then wired to a laptop. With a circular field of detecting possibilities. All controls that could be balanced through a link at the control box. Maybe I'll have a second cup of coffee and wake up!--Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
