I see an Excalibur 1000 on Ebay for $500

[syko]

It's not mine...and I don't have the money to get it, yet ,but in case someone is looking for one,this one is starting cheap.
Maybe they usually start this cheap on Ebay, if not..someone here may score a good deal. GL.

Be careful with this one. The seller has "0" feedback.

If you live in Ca. go look at it before bidding, or have him take a couple of pictures of him holding it, with a current readable newspaper in the shot.

Not to mention 0 feedback since Dec. 15 2005 WHY?

Because he is New I'd be Cautious, But he does
accept Credit cards which give Protection.

He could have started it at $1.00 Many Seasoned
Sellers do. Starting price means Nothing.
Notice it says Minimum bid not met.
His Minimum bid accepted may be $1000,00

Dosn't make it a Scam.

He May have just Bit off more then he could Chew
and didn't realise it till it came in the mail.

 

[Michigander2005]

I wouldn't bid on it reseve not met anyway. 2 years no feedback

on the plus side a lot of scams "highjacked accounts "would have a email account in the listing this doesn't so might be a legit ?

I bought from Kellyco in the last month, called in the evening & I did get transferred to their Florida office, & received my pkg from Kellyco in Florida, so it must be a satellite office.

Like the others say, it is $500 opening bid, has a reserve, and many serious bidders do not bid till the end.

I see no logic, or reason to bid and have someone counter my bid with days to go in an auction. I will bid the most the item is worth to me in the last hour, I either get it or I don't, but when I get it I get it at my price.

Is the $1099 price I see a flat fee that never gets to go on sale ever?
Since I just started researching on the 1000 it seems that's the only price I've found. Is there a time that they go on sale?

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

I don't think you will find it any cheaper from a dealer, they are not allowed to sell below a set price. You can find good ones on ebay though, as well as on some of the detector sites if you keep checking every day.

Now might be a good time as some hunters sell them for what ever reason in the winter.

I bought both of my Excals used, and they worked perfect on arrival and are still working perfect.

good Luck and good hunting.

I agree. No serious bidder will put a bid in till the last 10 seconds.
