What do you think?

Ask yourself 1 question. Is this too good to be true? there is your answer.

Ask him for a serial number and then call minelab to see if it's genuine.

Been removed already so what ever it was, it was a fake?

Bloody hell , looked at it 5 min ago , now gone , so there is the answer

I asked myself the question and my answer was that nothing is better than the truth, that's good, in fact its great. I guess my answer is different to your answer. Just like my truth is different to your truth. but I hear you dude, maybe this 'truth' is not a true minelab eh

 

[spottedgum]

Wowza!

 

[Bushranger]

What was it?

 

[spottedgum]

A minelab GBX 5000

 

[spottedgum]

a GPX SOOO fake.

The truth is I'd hate to see someone get ripped for that much cash for a piece of junk. It's just the reality check I always ask myself when making a large purchase.

No offence intended.

Its all good mate. I am thankful of this forum, there are many people (like yourself) willing to help and share great info. Nothing to be offended about

Gumtree is ridden with cheap chinese fakes and unscrupulous sellers. They pop up out of the blue to catch out the unwary, and disappear just as quick once word gets around on the forums, or once they have made a quick buck. I feel sorry for the genuine sellers on gumtree and for poor buggers that buy counterfeits that do not perform as they should.

Took 5 minutes to be removed from when spottedgum asked, that's pretty quick............ just saying.
