No interested buyers. I can't believe it. Well I am going to put it on fleabay. Thanks for the nice thread.
I agree: odd. There is enough buzz about them, in general, that I would think someone would bite.
But your price point is a little high, perhaps. Your detector was brought to my attention by one of my hunting buddies, since he knows I like them. His comment was:
"Over $400?! 'Guy must be crazy!...." Then he went on to name several detectors he could get for the same money. WHat can I say, he's really into that stuff...
I believe that if your price point fell beneath the worrisome $400 dollar mark ,you would get some bites. The detecting folks on the forums are good, but they are cheap in general and are always hunting the perennial "deal." If money is not an overiding factor, it may be a good idea to give them one.
Ebay can net you a decent price if you employ good timing, create a good listing, offer your Classic internationally and run an auction like an auction should be run.
If you are going to set a high reserve, get goofy with shipping or employ 'buy it now' features, then you may as well just stick with a classified ad.
