Hi everyone! I need some help with pricing a 2004 DFX that has been used about 6 hours total.
I have a neighbor that is really more of an acquaintance than a friend. However, we are friendly. He is elderly, (82), and his health has deteriorated to the point he can't do much of anything. His Doctor told him 6 or 7 years ago he needed to walk a little each day and move about. He bought the DFX thinking he would go to the beach and walk and detect. He couldn't, the heat got to him.
To make the story short, he wants to sell it, but doesn't want to wait for an auction like eBay. He asked me if I could buy it to give him quick cash, as he knows I metal detect.
What would be a good price so as not to take advantage of this man, but a price that is good enough I could put it on this or any forum, or eBay, and get my money back fast. I already have a V3i so I don't need this DFX, but would like to help the guy out. I am not in a position to buy this and use it as a spare, and I would need to be sure I get what I paid.
I hope this makes sense, and that a few of you more experienced people can help me, and my neighbor out.
Oh, the DFX has a 950 coil, no headphones, all manuals, a rechargeable battery and charger, not one scratch, not even a mark on the bottom of the coil. It is as if it was taken out of the box this morning.
How much is fair for everyone?
Thanks in advance folks.
