What is EQ800 Worth?

[nalc472]

I have the new Manticore. I am going to sell my EQ800. What are they now worth? Mine is out of warranty. Always had screen cover. Rest of machine had a custom cover all the way down to coil. Thinking around 600 usd. I do have the12x15 coil also. But might be going to a relative.

I have one I was considering selling and purchasing me a Manticore. I purchased mine May 14, 2020 therefore, it still is under warranty. I was wondering what I should ask for it?
Mine has 'very little use'. I probably have not swung it for a full (30) thirty minutes. Just like new!
I will wait and see how your detector sells. I have been watching the latest detectors and have decided on the Manticore. How do you like your Manticore. Good luck!

I think $600 is a fair price for a great machine. Just my opinion though.

I sold one out of warranty with upgrades for 525. Sold one still under 1 year warranty with upgrades for 560. But with the extra coil you may get the 600.

If I was a buyer of an off warranty unit the max would be about $300 since that approaches the cost of a new control pod and shipping to Minelab. The repair issues on the early Equinox models is no joke and anyone ignoring that is living dangerously.

When the Manticore & Equinox 900 really starts rolling in the prices on used Equinox 800s are going to take a big hit (especially ones that are out of warranty).

From what I saw, prices really started dropping when Minelab announced new models about to be released.
And some I saw still had warranty and some extras.

You will take a beating selling it now. Obviously that choice is up to you. Personally, I’d keep it as a back up machine…just in case.

I guess it is still worth more to me than somebody else. I do have the E-trac and F75 LTD as backups

nalc,
Have you sold your detector? I am strongly contemplating placing my 'like new' detector and did not want to: I will wait and see how your detector sells.
Being a man of my word, I did not want to list mine for sale at this time. I will be asking $600.00 for mine: Firm. And, the purchaser will have to absorb shipping costs.
Thanks

Guys, I need a 6" coil for my Equinox. Called one dealer and he wanted $169.00. Seems a little high but maybe that is the "range". I would take a used coil, in good shape naturally, but I can't find one. Any recommendations? Off brands, etc?

Haven't sold mine yet. Might keep it not sure.

Nalc,
Have we waited too long? Many models are ready to sell that will go extremely deep and they are selling new for under ($300.)) three hundred dollars.
The newer models are extremely impressive!
Thanks for responding.

I have a used 6” coil and a lower shaft I’m looking to sell, if you haven’t found one. Both in perfect condition. Message me for details.
