I recently found one in a pawnshop. I believe that they are an outstanding detector good luck.

The old xs is still a better detector than 90 percent of the new detecors. I paid $400 for my xs 5 years ago and just got an ex11 for $275. I also don't think they are any harder to learn than any other. Absolutely the best value in the hobby!

The Exp. II's are amongst the most popular incarnation of the Explorer evolution lineup. Had great sweet sounds (silver just sort of "rings out"). So they tend to get bid up higher than the XS, etrac, SE, etc..... They do come up for sale, but .... be prepared to have competition bidding. Or perhaps you'd get lucky and find one on a regional Craigslist, that no one else sees, and snatch it up cheap from someone who doesn't know the demand as well.

And if you ever find one with a sunray probe on it, SNATCH THAT BABY UP. The probe alone can fetch $300, as that too is a wildly popular add-on that's no longer made. Alas, rest in peace. If I had $10,000, I'd buy up 10 of them JUST to have around to last me the rest of my detecting career.

Beaver-tail, isn't that the explorer you have listed on Ebay ? Then you can't sell it outside the ebay system before the bid closes, right ? So were you planning to direct the OP to that ebay listing ? And I see that no one's met your minimum so far (as of the time of this post). If for some reason it doesn't sell there when that listing expires tomorrow, and if the OP here doesn't hop on your price, pop me a PM. I am interested. Or .... if you can pop me a PM and tell me what the reserve is, I might go there and put in a bid.

One can cancel all bids and cancel an ebay auction anytime one wants.

 

[Beavertail]

Yes sir. I dont know how to pm

ah, ok. I think I was confusing the in-ability to edit wording/description, once bidding had started. Thanx for clarifying.
