it is just too weird that all the bid numbers are a common amount and so is the price of the bid

Well , looks like a bunch sold .... Scary !

Hope it isnt like what the picture shows ... A hard to see " lot " of items with a " storage unit " or " shipping container " in background ...
" can anyone smell ... CHINA ? "

I am sure kellyco would not have anything to do with this .

Why wouldnt china eventualy start cloning this detector like they did with minelab.

I heard it can detect a bowlful of broccoli beef from over a foot !

Why would this really be bad business? If Kelly Co was involved I would think this was a great oppurtunity presented by them. What should they do with the returns, throw them away?

They certainly wouldnt want to sell any returns as new and if they listed them as refurbished that would be a lie. This makes perfect business sense.

This post is about done. What else can be said? Unless someone we know bought one it's not worth the server space. I won't close the post.

I would just like to say thank you for all of the comments, it has been very interesting and insightful... I do hope that the gentleman who bid on one of these units does win it and gets back to us with a report... PBWY

This topic has entertainment value. I am going to figure that there will be reports from people buying one of these in time. Last look I took on ebay a couple days ago or so showed 54 minutes left in the auction on the last big number of the V3 machines in auction. I personally think the interest in the topic, versus the server space, isn't big, but that is just my opinion. I say keep it going. martin

There could be another explanation.

I have often bid on items at truck freight reclamation centers. They sell items that may have been on a truck that was involved in an accident or damaged while shipping and often you can get things at amazing prices.

I bought a radio tower that sold for $5,000 that was damaged for $50. I had to haul it away but it was worth it. I fixed the damage and sold it to a ham radio guy for $1500.

So these detectors could have been part of an insurance settlement.

I see where it is no longer being offered on E-bay. I would have asked for a serial number and checked with White's to see if it was real or not.

Strange things happen sometimes.
In our gold prospecting club, somebody recently donated the mining rights to over 200 acres.
What makes this great is that it's in gold country and could have been sold for mucho dinero.

Looks like they have a 2nd batch of auctions. There is about 30 more up for sale! Looks like a scam to me. Hope I'm wrong for the bidders who paid for the auctions...

On that site the seller claims they are out of the UK? Now I am getting confused.

On his new ebay auction he is claiming delays of shipping caused by unpaid buyers and I quote,"last auction we had ,many buyers never paid on time resulting in delaying shipping times for many other winners and giving the items as second chance offer or relisted,"

How convenient to have all these new auctions end before the first group has time to complain.

I knew it .... Stupid scammers .
Alot of bidders on the first batch , too bad .

I just emailed him about photos ... He responded right away ....

Here it is : Dear darkflamedesign,

2 of the photos on our listings for metal detectors are taken by Olympus SP-565 UZ 10.0 MP Digital Camera by one of our team members,3 other pictures are whit's factory pictures, what is the URL for the picture you saw.

Yeah okay ..

The v3 is no longer sold by White's, could they be demos, repaired returns etc? It doesn't make sense to take all the v3's now replaced by the v3i and throw them in a dumpster after paying the raw material and manufacturing cost. Having a liquidation co. sell them on Ebay would be a win-win for
White's, there would be upgrades and new coil sales coming there way and it offers those in that price range to be able to buy a quality detector with "no warranty" Also the repair department could stay busy during there slow time getting these ready for sale.

White's HAS been in touch with "alex92899"...and said they can't do anything on this person. alex92899 is NOT a dealer ! ! ! White's said they never sold that many units to a "CLUB".
