3030 at a price of

[ChampFerguson/TN]

Well you don't have to worry about counterfeits, because if you're buying a used 3030 it's not hard to follow the paper trail back to a reliable source. That's a total non issue. What is an issue is if you buy one with no warranty and have a problem, because the higher end Minelabs are insanely expensive to fix if something like the main circuit board fails. If this happens with an Explorer, when it's all said and done it's right in the ball park of being the same cost as buying a new one! So to buy used you want to do two things, trace the sale back to the original source, and make sure the detector has some warranty left. I would accept a 2 yr warranty to save several hundred dollars, but if only one year I would probably choose to go new.

I agree; everyone has their own comfort level.

Was at Bill Southern's outing (Nuggetshooters forum) last weekend. A fellow had a mutual friends 30-30 new in the box for sale. Guess friend has givin up on getting out. Believe asking price was $1400. Don't have permission to give names and such out, but one might inquire about it on forum.
