DAMAGED SOVEREIGN ELITE QUESTION

[coinscratcher]

DOES ANYONE HAVE A DAMAGED ELITE BOX PUT THE DETECTOR WORK I BOUGHT A SOVEREIGN ELITE CONTROL BOX ON EBAY FOR $172 WHICH THE PERSON SAID THE DETECTOR TUNED ON BUT NO THRESHOLD AND IT PROBABLY COULD BE REPAIRED AND HE SAID NO RETURNS SO I SENT IT TO KELLYCO AND THE SAID IT NEEDS THE PCB BOARD WHICH THEY DO NOT HAVE ANYMORE AND CHARGED ME $52 TO LOOK AT IT AND SHIPPING IT COST ME $10 TO SHIP IT TO THEM SO I HAVE $234 INVESTED IN A PIECE OF JUNK. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU

Kellyco charges $37.30 to diagnose any detector, if the customer chooses to repair the detector the $37.50 diag fee is applied towards the repair bill, if not then customer pays just the diag fee and return shipping. Before buying a used detector be sure it is still supported...

I FORGOT TO SAY THAT I BOUGHT IT AS IS AND IT'S NOT THE OTHER PERSONS FAULT I TOOK A CHANCE AND IT DIDN'T WORK OUT IF I CAN GET THE PART IF ANYONE HAS IT FOR A FAIR PRICE IT PROBABLY COULD DO THE JOB. THANK YOU.

So if Kellyco charges $37.30 to diagnose the machine, why did coinscratcher have to pay $52 to look at it and another $10 bucks for shipping ? Something isn't adding up. GS

I'M SORRY HERE IS WHAT KEELYCO CHARGE ME $37.50 TO LOOK AT IT AND $14.95 FOR SHIPPING $52.45 TOTAL. I PAID $10 TO SHIP IT TO THEM SORRY FOR CONFUSING YOU FOLKS. KELLYCO DID THEIR BEST TO FIX IT. THANK YOU

Shipping cost no matter how you look at it is crazy. I shipped a few things myself and it was crazy. No getting out of that. But I wrote about the shipping in the feedback forum. GS

I wonder if the seller had already had the detector checked out, and found out that it was irreparable ......

$37.50 is to diagnose the problem plus $14.95 return shipping equals $52.45 total...
