Dear rmptr,
How can it be $650 for the CZ 5 when in your recent post about a CZ 6a, (which is slightly better) you agreed with Ray that the price for CZ 6a is between 250 and 350 depending on condition.
Link: http://www.findmall.com/read.php?23,713576
You also said about the CZ 6a that:
I"t's a good detector, Skip.
Even though it's over 15yrs old and the manufacturing company has been sold out.
Ray has given you valid info.
But I know you went to work to put food on the table..
I'd say $200 - $250 in trade value against the bill, because you'll probably discount the bill further, elsewhere.

I agree that the 2 extra coils add more value, but thats double the value of the price of the CZ 6a which was agreed to be about 350 in the previous post.
How much do think it would cost for the CZ 5 with just the stock 8 inch coil?
Thank you,
Jack

Hey Brawler,
I'm no expert.
I think I said that in the first post, also.
But I know what I've seen.
The post I agreed with was up to $350 as an advisory to a purchaser.
Far wiser fellows than I quickly came to bat and stated higher figures based on their personal experience.
I must defer to them.
However... I am a qualified residential construction worker with extensive experience.
I am very familiar with being offered everything in the back room including the cat, or dog, in exchange for a portion of the bill.
Same as the fellow who made THAT post, who went there to feed his kiddies.
And by golly, some of my clients are the nicest folks you ever could hope to meet, same as his...
AND I KNEW he was gonna give more allowance than I suggested!
It's the name of the game for us service people... we are NICE to everyone... to a fault!
MOF, I'll bet a nickel you could not get much over $100 for a CZ-6, CZ-6a, or CZ-5 from ANY pawn shop in the country today.
Maybe you could get another twenty if it was pristine.
Let's wander back to the present deal...
There's folks who may feel the CZ-5 is superior to the CZ-6a.
Perhaps because it's a newer model, or perhaps because it does have a speaker.
And, we've got the pair of additional coils that do have substantial value.
Now Brawler, I'm not going to advise some fellow to sell his CZ for what I paid for my own...
Mine was ugly (looked like Rambo was the prior owner.)
Mine did NOT work when I got it home!
Thanks to fellows on this forum helping me out, it works now, and seems like I ended with a good machine.
That fellow on the other side of my monitor screen may have a pristine CZ-5 he only lets out of the original box once each month and has trained it well to find 18k gold rings that weigh not less than a full troy ounce with 3 carat diamonds.
(I'd find a way to buy THAT machine at whatever the asking price!)
The figure I mentioned is substantially less than a First Texas current offering, and I would suspect the seller would post it for less than that. He'll probably get lowball offers, and eventually accept a bit less than originally asked.
Isn't that how things go, in the open market for non-essential items?
I don't feel I was out of line, or contradictory with my prior post. At least not so much as to be remarkable.
Now that I've explained my process, do you?
And, if I have not yet, I'll state it now,
I am a pathological liar and a functional illiterate.

Hi RMPTR,
No you weren't out of line by any means, plus judging from your post, you have a great sense of humor. The part about the cat and the dog offered to pay part of the bill and the used Rembo CZ 5 are pretty darn funny
Sorry if i came across a bit abrasive in my previous post. In part that was because i was looking to buy that cz 5 from slingshot this morning, and he was asking $500 for it. He told me that some members on this thread claimed that CZ5 is worth that much, and the only one i could find was you, so i had to do some research and i stumbled across your old post, so i was a bit confused.
Anyways, from my research looking through completed ebay auctions and classifieds i found out the the price range for CZ 5 is pretty big, but not $500. Although i do agree that with 3 search coils it's probably worth that much (in great condition), although i could get a CZ3d or a CZ 70 with 8 inch stock for a bit more.
Anyways, i found a pretty good deal elsewhere, it looks like i might get a similar CZ for about $350 to $400.
No hard feeling,
Best wishes,
Jack

Newer CZ5 plastic arm cuff and lower black rod asm with 8 inch coil 400 to 475. The older CZ5 350 to 400. Sell the coils separate the 5 inch 50 to 70 dollars.The 10 inch about 60 to 75 dollars.These are average prices.So the first estimate total price of 650.00 compared with a newer CZ5 sold with the extra coils sold separate would be min est 400+50+60=510 max est 475+ 70+75=620.00 plus selling expences.Which isn't that far off on the best price on a newer CZ5 in excellent condition with original box ,manual and extra coils.

All told, it appears to be working it's way out!
Brawler, I certainly don't mind being called to the carpet...
If anyone speaks out in open forum, before the WORLD, they must be held accountable for their words.
I don't have an agenda here... already got one, (old & ugly), can't afford another, but would not want to lead a seller astray.
I do believe the $500 would be a good deal. Perhaps a bargain! Fisher is indeed a reputable name.
Value, worth, good deal, bargain, GREAT deal, a steal... it gets to be semantics, which is part of the entertainment within our typing format. It can also become tedious, like beating the dead horse.
I do my best to make knowledgeable presentations, and qualify them with my experience.
Entertainment value is good, too...
Whew! Many offers-in-trade for construction work accomplished I wouldn't care to print... LoL
Glad to hear you worked a deal to buy a CZ.
They are an amazing machine that exceed my own ability....
Practice and persistence will get you the gold!

Gosh, guys. I forgot to mention that the three coils have the lower rods w/them as well as the velcro straps. That's my fault and I wasn't thinking about all this when I asked. The upper arm cuff is metal, I think. It feels like it. Anyway, at a sensitivity setting of #3, which is my standard setting I was getting stuff at 8". The only thing-sometimes I would dig all the way down to only find a zincer. Bummer!
The older unit with the metal cuff won't sell for as much,but with the extra coils and lower rod asm you 'll probably do well. 380 + 60 +75=515.00. Again Good Luck.
