Pawnshop Discovery 3300
I just bought a Discovery 3300 for $90 out the door at a pawn shop.
The clerk wanted $100. I offered $90.
I asked if I could have some time to make sure it worked.
She said I could have a day.
I said make it 4.
Deal done.
Discovery works fine.
I'm happy AND have at least $150 of the $250 or so I was planning on spending on my first detector still in my pocket. If I decide to upgrade and sell the Discovery, I should be able to get most if not all of what I paid for it. That would make it free.
I know, by the way, that the Discovery sold for a short time for about $125 new. but, that was only for a short. time. Its still available for about $225 in a new look.
Pawn shops are just another source of used merchandise.
Unlike Ebay, which I also use alot, no shipping.
unlike craig'slist, which I've also used, you're buying from a company, not some stranger who could care less if they every see you again.
Regardless of where you shop if you get ripped off its because you didn't do your homework.
