Used Bandido II Umax fair price?

[spacelooper]

Hey guys...

I have found a used Tesoro Bandido II Umax with the 8" Brown Donut coil with scuff cover and the 7" Wide scan coil. He is asking $350... is this a high price for this machine and coils? He states he has had it a long time and seems everything works correctly.

thanks for the info... it is greatly appreciated.

Too high, unless it's just like brand new. For your "average" used one in good shape with a few scuffs and scratches, about $225-$250. ^_^

Is this considered a desirable Tesoro unit? or would I be better off purchasing a current model?

thanks,

While Tesoro units are all very durable and reliable, it's nice to have the lifetime warranty you get when buying new.

YES, Bandido II microMAX is... a fantastic Tesoro.
Of the currently produced models though, the Outlaw is pretty darned close to Bandido IIm in design and use.

Show the seller average prices on that unit, from ebay "sold" listings. Average is much less than his asking price.
If he won't deal, take a look at the current Tesoro line. I like all my Tesoros, but the Outlaw is presently my most often used. Bandido IIm, Eldorado, and SilverSabre microMAX are my favorite older models.
Haven't played with a Tesoro yet though, that I didn't like.. ^_^

I have to agree with pinenut the last I Tesoro Bandido II uMax went for used on eBay for $208.05, the Tesoro Outlaw 8" donut coil one sold for what a Bandido II is now going for now at $255.01, but most Outlaws I saw are around the $330- 350 used mark if you want all three coils.

I paid $350 shipped for my Bandido 2 micromax with 8" coil and 5.75" coil in mint condition......maybe a little on the high end price wise.....but i wanted a nice unit. I prefer it over the Outlaw and have used both. Not the same machine, believe me. And not a fan of the big red retune/pinpoint button on the Outlaw. Outlaw is a good machine....just like the Bandido 2 better. Eldorado micromax is a nice machine also, but Bandido 2 is deeper in my ground by a couple inches.

You are better off with a new Outlaw and it is a little more quiet in iron than the bandido. Also you will get a liftime on the outlaw . The field test to me shows the outlaw is the way to go, for get the red button use the switch,newer,quieter,lifetime warranty,win win

Yeah I agree about the outlaw. Nice to have the warranty and it's very close to the bandido II micromax. It is based off of it.
I got lucky when I got mine. Brand new condition with 8,5.75, and 7" coil for like 300. But even that's pushing the price allowed. The coils made it a better deal.

In the end it's up to you and if it's worth it to you.
It's my favorite Tesoro to date along with its younger brother the outlaw.
Heck I live all my tesoros

Get a newly released Tesoro Mojave $251.10 shipped and comes with a lifetime warranty. It works super great in iron and is a blast to use.
