Found a garret 2500GTI in a pawn shop

considering getting it, they want $500 for it, I know they sell for around $900....is this detector worth the 5 bones?

Ask if they have a moneyback garantee if it doesn't ork.Better yet tell them you want to see it work.They probably gave some poor shmuck $100 or $200 at most for it.Offer them $300 and walk out if they don't take the deal.Pawn shop owners are legal thieves.

I have been looking at some metal detectors and the Garrett 2500GTI is one of them. I have for the last month or so seen them sell around $500.00 - $650.00 on ebay. So yes that is a very fair deal if it works fine. I would offer them $400.00. Good luck.

If it was me I would let it stay right there at the pawn shop

HAHA! i almost agree with this comment! $500 bones is an ok price for a 2500. as long as it works ok.

For $500 or so, you can buy a brand new Garrett GTP 1350 or GTI 1500 at some detector dealers now ! Those are both as good as the Garrett GTI 2500.

I think that would be the best bet.I had a 2500 and loved it ,but you realy dont need all the bells and whistles.

lol...thanks all for the replies, guess the GTI2500 hasn't made many friends...I'm always looking for a good deal, guess I'll pass this one up

 

[hollowpointred]

dont get me wrong, the GTI 2500 is a nice machine. its just that there are deeper machines out there.

I miss mine the most when searching trashy areas.Most coins (silver) seem to be at an average depth of 6-8 inches around these parts and the 2500 does that easily !
