Should I buy?

[relichunters]

I have a chance to buy a used Minelab GPX 5000 for about $700. Looks like it retails for about $4,000. All it needs is a battery but it has a ton of other extra stuff with it.
Is it a good detector? worth buying? Thanks

Be sure it is authentic and is in running order. Good luck!

Check the serial # with Minelab to be certain its real. At that price, its got to be stolen or being sold by the frustrated wife of a detectorist.

Hi Relichunters, please feel free to email us at [email protected] and we can check the serial number for you. I recommend getting the serial number both from the housing and the coil.

Jamie is right.... Call Minelab and have them verify the serial number is authentic.

Price is going too high for me. You guys can bid if you want.
