[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 265006, member: 4485"] Spelling mistake on the Genuine Minelab label too. Says on first line at top "Genuine Mnelab" then again under the Minelab logo. There was another one on there the other day that was a fake also but now removed (hopefully not sold). They had used the headphones to wrap around the dodgy handle in what looked like an effort to conceal it plus blurry shots of the control box font, serial number etc. Maybe the shonksters are reading our tips too... :lol: I'm really shocked at how many bids they get & how high some bidding goes. I couldn't spend that much on eBay without doing some research & there is plenty of info about on the counterfeits. Seems people just can't help themselves if they think they're getting a bargain..... :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
