[QUOTE="Sylar, post: 67753, member: 2592"] I saw this one too and thought that it might just be original promotion pics and the vendor dose state that its used so i think that the only way to tell is to go and eyball it but the box is what throws me, never seen one like that for a minelab. Lindt i think the problem is the sellers and manufacturers are now just copying the real thing down to the last detail and vendors are just using original minelab product pictures in their ad which makes them even harder to spot. It sucks to think that there are fakes, just think how many un suspecting people thought "hey i want to get into the hobby and hear is the detector of my dreams for 2k less" and just get stooged. That there is a product made to look like a minelab is no surprise but branding it exactly the same is just wrong [/QUOTE]
