I hear what your saying but, how much were you expecting to win it for? $400 or something? It's at $600 w/shipping. It was a $900 machine when new. Any good detector will hold much of it's value if it hasn't been abused. Here is another one getting bids and it's only been listed for a couple days- Garrett GTI 2500 Handheld Metal Detector Minelab White Fisher w Two Coils | eBay

This. I was very confused as to what the OP was complaining about. An outdated but still desirable detector on ebay was getting active bids. What exactly is the problem?

I want crazy new bidders like that for the stuff I'm selling...! For sellers, there are never enough of them! But they do suck as competition. Well, anybody bidding against me sucks really.

My apologies. I read it wrong I guess. Looks like the last 4 2000's sold for between $316 and $399.95 with the shipping. I would imagine you were bidding on the one that got 27 bids and sold for $301 plus $15 shipping. That would still be the least expensive one that has sold in the last 2 months so, newbies or not, the bidding for this particular unit was not out of hand. It sold for less than the previous 3 machines which sold for their stated listing price, minus one which got an extra bid from another buyer. I think the harder part for you will be finding one that is listed low enough for you to bid on from the get go, if you looking to pay $300 or less that is. Looks like the market for the 2000's is still pretty strong.

Keppy, yes some shill bidding may occur. But I think you are missing the point...

Note: I am primarily a BUYER on ebay and have my fair share of gripes as such.

sometimes I think a new bidder might be there to drive up the price for the seller too - bogus account? or a friend in kahoots lol
