his country is Sudan .

I could be wrong but i think he is being honest .

He has been trying to find some one to work with him for a couple weeks now and because there are alot of scams out there every one is afraid to help him.

If i had the spare money to buy a 2nd MD and hold it until i received his cash i would do it .
but honestly , with 4 kids i barely had the money to buy the first one for me and my son to share ...was bought at my 12 yr olds request as a hobby for both of us to do.

Only thing that really worries me is are there laws about receiving cash via mail out of country ?
if not then i see no issue , hold the MD until you get the cash , confirm its not fake then send the MD .

anyone see any flaws with that ? and please dont be a jerk if you dont agree , just give the reason why you disagree if you do .

 

[G.I.B.]

Importing MD's into Africa is, lets say, busy... They are looking for quality machines for gold prospecting.

I've lived in several countries in Africa, so I know how the system works. I'm wondering what country this fellow is from.

Some are legit, others are not.

There are large inherent risks involved in making any overseas sale or export. Regulations, duty's and fees can often cost more than the item being shipped. When sending electronics overseas, some US Export regulations may come into play as well. I've not researched that yet for these items.

The only thing that would fit in that box is the GPS.

The detectors will cost considerably more to ship.

I won't recommend anyone do something I wouldn't. however if some one decides to,

he claims he is sending cash First.
as long as it's U.s. Cash,

it Should be simple enough When you get the cash, if your not sure,
Take it to the bank And ask if it's real. If it is, use it to purchase & send the detectors.
If fake, Post here you received an empty package,
counterfeit bills, foreign bills, or what he promised

I'm surprised one of our dealers havn't a way to help him if he sends cash first

 

[DizzyDigger]

There certainly are no restrictions on shipping a metal detector to Sudan. This is from the USPS site
on Mailing Restrictions, specific to Sudan:

"Prohibitions (130)

Arms and their spare parts.

Coins; banknotes; currency notes (paper money); traveler’s checks; securities payable to bearer; platinum, gold or silver, manufactured or not; precious stones; jewelry; and other valuable articles.

Liquids, easily liquefiable items, and glass or similarly fragile articles.

Perishable infectious biological substances.

Perishable noninfectious biological substances.

Playing cards.

Radioactive materials.

Seditious literature.

Unginned cotton.

Banknotes greater than 2 Sudanese pounds in value are admitted ONLY in registered First-Class Mail International or First-Class Package International Service shipments.

Used clothing must be accompanied by a health certificate issued by the official health authorities. "

From what I understand in Skools post, he will send the money to buy the machines + shipping costs to
his location, first, and then once you receive the funds, you purchase the machines and ship them to him.
Very understandable, especially if none of the distributors are willing to ship to Sudan. Question is, why won't they?

Could be due to agreements they (distributors) have with the manufacturers of the detectors, and the manufacturers
likely have other assigned distributors under contract for selling in Sudan, and quite possibly, for some, it may
even under a different brand name.

..... Yes he sounds on the up & up to me........ And i wondered why no dealers took him up on it...... Could be to much work for a dealer ....... Hey you are getting the cash up front... Whats the problem...

Playing Cards Do they have a wide spread gambling problem over there

 

[jeff of pa]

I believe that this guy has a cousin who is a king and needs some to help him bank 'millions' over here. It only costs a bit up front, but you can make millions., perhaps his cousin could help him?

he is not asking for money , or personal Info please at least respect him on that.

the most he will need to ask for is address or PO box in order to send the cash

 

[uglymailman]

Having talked to my customers over the years there are several foreign country's that the only way they get mail from/to the U.S. is through REGISTERED Mail. Regular mail/ packages NEVER get there. It gets pricey to do that. Food for thought.

Is that you NEWMAN

The detectors will cost considerably more to ship.

shipping cost is 154$ , i will pay it
the box size is :
length: 25"
height: 10"
width: 17"
the maximum weight is 20lb = 9kg
goldbug weight is : 2.9lb = 1.3 kg
gpx weight 3.4 kg
total weight is 4.7 kg maximum is 9kg
add the extra to the total it will not reach 9kg
chech that is here at USPS:

International Price Calculator
inter country name and then select Large Package Any dimension over 12"
then here :
International Price Calculator
enter the height and width and lenght.
i think that is enough for 2 detectors

Skool,I apologize,the more I follow you the more I am apt to beleive you and wish you all the luck in the world.I give you an A for effort,I dont think a scammer would have put in as much as he has

 

[Terry Soloman]

Skool and I have chatted through personal messages. He seems sincere, but I don't think he understands most of us are not going to get off of our bottoms for him and do the hard work of buying the used machines (and he has to trust WE know what we are buying for him - bad move), packing them up, then filling out the customs paperwork and shipping by REGISTERED Mail (because when it is stolen in Sudan between the airplane and the post office we will have proof we sent it), for a $50.00 comission. I told him for what he wants he needs to send the buyer $3,500.00 minimum. What say you all?

u have to be fair and honist i did not say to u the commision is 50$
u have to know that some people do the help for free, not packing detectors they do more than that, they sacrificed themself and died for others to live.
and in case that i offered u a commision u r free to accept it. and if u dont like it , it is so easy to leave it.

 

[Terry Soloman]

Sorry Skool, you did not. I am making a point, not quoting you. In this Country, most folks are way too busy to go out of their way to do something like this for less than a a couple-hundred bucks. Your estimates of what a good used GPX 4000 and a GB II will cost are low - period. Be clear on what you you will pay as a fee, and what your budget is.
