I recently got hold of a White's Coinmaster 6000/D that looks like it has never been used. No scratches on th coil bottom and just a few minor cosmetic scratches on the box. Battery compartment is perfect. I put batteries in it and tried it out. It works perfectly. Can anyone tell me what this detector is worth?..

I deleted your pictures because it looked too much like you trying to sell it. I went to EBay completed sales and the 6000/D has sold for $75 to $120 with case.
There was several incarnations of the 6000d, over the years, so you'd need to be specific about which particular one, in the line-up of evolution, you're referring to. The orignal 6000d was introduced in 1978 I believe. That one is sort of a dinasour by today's standards (but was ground-breaking at the time). It was a fast sweep machine, prone to masking, poor on low conductors, and not very deep (by today's standards, but at the time, deep when compared to TR disc.). If you have the original, you'd be hard-pressed to get $40 for it. But hey, ebay is a fickle thing, and sometimes people pay ridiculous prices.
Then there were some interum stages of 6000's. The last one: 6000Di pro, was the best. It is still a popular model, and could probably fetch more on ebay. If that last one (black box, 950 coil, etc...) is what you have, perhaps $200-ish? I dunno. check finished auctions, look for your exact type, and see what they fetched.

I will agree about the 6000di ... I just pulled ole' Blue out for a afternoon run and pulled a 1964 quarter from it's resting place. Buddy of mine saw how she worked and I told him to check Ebay for a unit around $100 or less. Amazing how this machine was bought in 1986 and is still finding coins.

What should be so amazing about that?
A 1952 Chevy or Ford pickup will still get you from A to B, while at the same time commanding serious collector prices.
It may not be "state of the art" - but is sure still does what it was designed to do.
The first Atom bombs were dropped onto Japan in 1945 - the first man-on-the-moon apparently set step there in 1969.
Just a thought to ponder upon,
