[QUOTE="Sylar, post: 62601, member: 2592"] Ok i just posted it cos i was surprised to find it while just browsing about and even worse it was listed touting the "Minelab" brand name with complete disregard of it being obviously fake, would i buy it? Hell no! unless its like $200-300 just to take it apart and see how bad it is put together :D I am also wondering why there hasn't been a lawsuit put out against the online vendors who continue to stock fakes like this? I do feel for the people who have payed up big only to find its a total knock off and worse its near useless, it dose pay to buy from a licensed stockist who can offer follow up support and warranty for the item, further more i think buying a GPX 5000 from places like ebay and gumtree is like a game of Russian roulette, you dont know if its fake until its too late! I have a Panerai watch, $8k it cost me but then i see a "replica" of the same thing for $250, still tells the time but is far from the real thing, would i buy it? ......no [/QUOTE]
