[QUOTE="Guest, post: 92331"] My situation I ring Ismael and ask I can get a gp 3500 for $1800 with 3 coils what should I do? He says don't think about it grab it so I purchased it. He told me if the 3500 cost $3000 buy a 4500 instead. You can't beat his honesty. I just sold the 15x12 minelab mono it came with so the detector owes me $1500. The 11"DD and the 450mm DD can be sold for around lets say $300 the GP then owes me $1200. Then you have the shafts, battery, power cord and other bits and pieces and if sold the machine owes me lets say $1000 plus mod. I don't smoke nor am I a constant beer drinker. Each habit can cost you $1000 plus per year. If you go and buy a new 5000 how much do you think your going to get for it on the 2nd hand market considering 11 have been sold in the past 3 months and there are 3 currently for sale? The whites TDI Pro is another example where on the 2nd hand market they only sell for $1380- $1500. I would only buy alatter 4500 as I have had a friend own several. Compare underneath the coil box and some of the later ones have something stamped on it others don't. [/QUOTE]
