got a chance to buy a new in a box sidewinder, thoughts anyone?

[amcjavelin]

looking at a NOS sidewinder for $240.00 is that steep or a good deal? would like anyones opinion please!

Why spend that amount of money on a older Tesoro when you can get a newer used Cibola for about the same price and have better performance?

the frerqs are different sidewiders freqs are 12khz the cibola's is 14khz and that i have several coils for the umax design, not a big deal i was currious on performance

 

[BarberBill]

I've heard good things. I think the performance is very similar to the Silver Sabre

Nice back up machine to the Cibola and or a good loaner for someone that you take hunting.

i think i know this detector it was for sale a little while ago on classified!..i thought it sold but i guess not!
i tried to get it for 200.00 no good!..240.00 is steep considering you can get a brand new silver -umax at that price!

Hey amcjavelin, you are going to have to change your name to amcjavelinwhiz ( sorry steve ) cause you are going through alot of detectors lately.....lol. I know it's fun trying many different detectors, but I think it is harder to master one detector when you buy and sell alot. 240.00 sounds a tad high for the sidewinder, but if it is a new detector it might be worth it. Happy hunting..........Roger
