[QUOTE="HeadsUp, post: 20493, member: 414"] I saw a GPX5000 detector sold on ebay last month , i suspected it was fake because the seller didnt reply to my messages asking for the serial number. It sold for $ 4300 , i emailed the new buyer to ask him if he had checked its authenticity , the poor guy had no idea there were counterfeit minelabs out there . He took it to his local minelab dealer shop and asked them to check it and lo and behold its a counterfeit Can anyone suggest how this guy can get his money back ? So far the seller is ducking and weaving. I suggested to the buyer to ask for police assistance if the seller wont repay him Do you guys agree that the seller committed a criminal offence ? The seller obviously knew it was counterfeit , that makes it "obtaining financial benefit by deception" for a start . then the buyer has the option of court action with a civil claim to recover his money any opinions ?
