I'm thinking of selling my Tesoro Tejon since it doesn't get any use. Like new, used twice, the gray model with stock 9x8 coil, coil cover and cool camo cover :lol:. Perfect condition with original box.

Any idea on value? Thanks.
 
Dig-Dug,

I moved your thread here to Advice. Should you decide to sell, please start a new thread in FS Detectors with an asking price.

Members should not make offers to buy in this thread, only offer advice as to price.
 
I would advise you to check on "flee-bay" and search tejon and check the sold items box.
Then remember that they get about 13% in fees (seller fee and PP fee). That should give you a good range for what the market is right now.
What it actually sold for it the real price.

Not looking to buy, just giving advice. Good luck :thumbsup:

As Mikey said, you can use eBays search feature to look through the final sale price of tejons and then deduct at least 13% to calculate what they actually received after paying fees.

I use national craigslist search engines to research the list prices of machines. A detector with no signs of use and having the original box will command a premium. I believe once the machine is sold, the warranty is no longer valid. That plays a role in resale value. You may consider sending it to Tesoro for a check up and when they send it back with a clean bill of health, you'll have a receipt that may increase bids.

Anyhow, here is a quick idea from some web searches I just did...
  • eBay had (2) units with the box and accessories that sold for just under $300 and included free shipping. So deduct $39 in fees and $25 for shipping ==> $239 net.
  • CL had (6) nice looking machines listed for $200-450. The higher ones were posted more than a month ago, so they aren't moving at that price.
  • Other Forums had (2) machines that sold in the last six months. One unit was absolutely mint and sold for $300 shipped. The other unit was beat to death for $175.

G/L!

If I may ask, what are you using in preference to the Tejon? I have an old Tejon and it is a good machine--fast, light and good depth--but I find myself using my Etrac or Nox most of the time.

I believe I paid $250 for my Tejon (some time back) but it was in far from new condition. I think Tesoro still provides a lifetime warranty, so its used machines are pretty solid bets.

Lifetime warranty is for original purchaser only now days.

I’ve had two Compadres for 4+ years without issue... one new, one used.

Wouldn’t mind something with a bigger coil....Nox! :lol:

Well, it's been a longggg time since I've been on the forum. Sorry for the delay! I typically hunt with the ctx or at pro. The tejon is collecting dust but I think I'm going to keep it anyway. Maybe one day I'll use it again.
