Deleon worth?

[woodknack]

What is a Tesoro DeLeon used worth? I bought it brand new and have not used it much. in excellent shape. I'd like to list it but not sure what price I should list it at. Any Ideas?

I did a search on ebay and filtered by completed sales, looks like 200-400, most being 300-400. Several new ones sold for $450.

I personally wouldn't pay more than $300 for it. That may sound harsh but without the warranty and what you can get now at the $300 price range. I know of one forsale close to me for less than that.
Cool machine though I always like it your just about a year late on parting with it for top dollar. HH

I hear you. I think id just keep it if $300 is all i could get. I will use it as a backup to my newer machine. The thing is a quarter and silver magnet. Was just curious of what I might be able to squeak out of it price wise. Thanks.

Hmmm. I just looked them up on ebay. all the new ones are over $500 that I see?
And the used ones are going for more then the new one!? Ya I don't see any under $500 new or used.

Always stand for what you believe.

But you may still own it for a while. A great machine, so why would you want to sell it?

Stand for what you believe is true.

It may be worth hanging on to for awhile if you don't need the cash. My impression is that fewer Tesoros have come up on eBay since October when the company's troubles became public. The machines may become collector's items; no guarantees, of course!

That explains why the price is up on the used ones on ebay. I guess ebay would be the place to try. Or like you said just keep it.

I would expect certain models to become more sought after in the future. The current classics are even more so. It seems that most that get rid of their Tesoro’s will outright say they regret it for whatever reason. So, for the OP, don’t become one of those guys! The DeLeón is a desirable machine as you know but right now is the time to keep! Trust me. They don’t know what they got til it’s gone type of deal.

Ya I do love it. just trying to recoup some money for another detector. But I think I will just keep it. I have 3 tesoros and all have come through with great finds. I have the DeLeon, compadrea and the vaquaro.
I think im just going to hang on to them all. I will find my fundings else where. Thanks for all the feed back.

 

[Professor of Engineering]

IMHO: I would keep all of them if you can. They are very good machines and they do find the keepers!

I have 3 as well. Compadre, El Dorado umax, and a vaquero. All very good in certain areas. Can’t sell em. I know I will regret it. The Eldorado I have is pristine. Just a little squeak to it on the upper pole is all. Little silicone spray fixed her up nice. Great buy for 225 on the auction site. Paid 400 for the vaquero used with 2 coils back in 2014, and bought the compadre new with 8” back in October.What other machine did u get?

Does that Eldorado have the very late style, matte decals? If so, guessing it’s the one I sold for about that. I was a bit disappointed, but that happens. Was a good detector though. Only sold ‘cause I have a few spare Tesoros that don’t get used...and I still have another Eldorado that looks super - glossy decals on this one.

Anyway, my guess is that a pretty DeLeon will go for around $275 or so. ^_^

Well I believe it shipped from Arizona if that means anything....as far as the decals, they appear glossy to me but I would need to see both to verify. I do know I love it. The disc is great...it’s my yard hunter. I fact, I have 4 coils for it now lol. That’s super cool if it was yours!!

A nice-looking used Bandido II Umax appeared on eBay today with a "buy it now" price of $299. It sold for that pretty quickly -- before I could rationalize buying it myself! I did some googling, and as of a couple of years ago, folks thought $225-$250 was a reasonable price for one. Looks like the highly-regarded models are holding their value and then some.

[jmaryt]

yes! look for your mojave to hold it as well! disappearing already!
tough to find. don't believe they made that many before they quit.

We in Australia still have no solid information as to what has happened to Tesoro.
I imagine some of their detectors will become collectable. Like the Sand Shark, LST, the Golden Sabre. The Compadre has always been well received and performs above its weight.
I believe that at some time they made a tecta that was modular and could be converted from a gold machine to Coin and relic to beach. Don't think it was well received at the time.

There is a chap in the States who seems hell bent on condemning just about every metal detector that is not a Deus or a multi frequency digital machine. I watch his youtube vids and he does have some valid points, but as Tesoro followers we know that these machines work very well.

I will be holding on to my Sand Shark and LST. I also just purchased a Mojave out of curiosity. I do not have it yet but have read some good and not so good reports about this little tecta. I am giving it the benefit of the doubt. It is after all, a Tesoro and I have not had a dud one yet out of five different units. Even my old Bob cat was still going strong up to the time of sale.

Cheers to all and have a great 2019.

no gamble there!..i use my mojave for "totters,and curb strips."
perfect application for it! very smooth audio,and a ton of fun!
that wonderful 7" precision coil is very precise,and the detector is
so light and easy to hunt all day with.i keep mine in the "buggy" with my
gear in a nice lightweight rig that is easy to 'slap" on when i spy a nice ,old curbstrip.
always ready to rock!..i'm just sayin'
