New or stimulant? - Advantages and disadvantages of buying a used detector
Before having to choose the detector, every seeker faces at least once, And most of us tried at least a few equipment in our exploration career. The fundamental question is - new or used? I will try to show the advantages of both one in this article, as well as the second approach to the purchase of the detector.
One of the main initial criteria when searching for the detector for yourself is the wealth of the wallet. Not everyone can afford a one -off expenditure of several thousand zlotys, Not everyone will be allowed to be a wife - that's why it usually starts with cheaper detectors, costing about PLN 1,000. The economic factor is the main argument behind the used equipment. Zakup używki pozwala nam sięgnąć po sprzęt o klasę wyższy niż nówki w tej cenie, and the smaller the budget, this difference between new and used detectors more significant.
A great example from our yard is the price of a new one, Still archpopular Garretta Ace 250. For the equivalent of the new canary, by the way, a detector with very average properties, We can afford used equipment with both tuning to the ground, as well as a wide range of regulation, and also a real VDI. Although I will write about the specifics of selecting the equipment for the demand on another occasion, It is with a budget up to PLN 2,000 always a drug will give more opportunities than a new detector, Above, this border begins to blur. Is there any sense to buy a new detector?
Well, it is. You need to pay attention to the basic fact - a metal detector for an electronic device, which does not like adverse weather conditions, and it is used in a very friendly environment. The detector components are exposed to continuous mechanical stresses resulting from use, and the ubiquitous pollution and water only worsen the situation. Although producers try to make their inventions relatively resistant, This is the sum of these factors and not always safe for use equipment leads to many problems. The stability of the scraper's work depends on its condition - a damaged detector, Even if the damage looks like a trivial, He will probably work faulty, By hindering or even preventing the search.
The new detector threw these problems out of our heads, and also protects against future, because each manufacturer offers a guarantee for its equipment. Unfortunately, with the service of specific brands it can be very different, because both time, as well as the quality of warranty repairs in Poland is a matter that is constantly arousing controversy and the purchase of new equipment does not necessarily mean, that we have problems with our heads for several years. It is therefore worth making sure before buying a new one, that the seller is an official distributor and explain service issues.
Returning to the topic of stimulants. What should be noted, in order not to get into the bottle by a dishonest seller? Contrary to appearances, even experienced seekers have "mishaps". As long as the mechanical damage to the frame is easy to observe even in the pictures, These are such disadvantages, Like a cable crack, coil damage or flooding of electronics will not show us any photos. Therefore, when buying a used detector, it is worth taking it before buying in your hand or asking to check someone, who will be able to assess, whether the detector works properly. Dobrą praktyką jest też wynegocjowanie ze sprzedającym okresu rozruchowego, allowing to check the detector and in case of doubt as to his efficiency, send and recover money.
To sum up, There is no perfect recipe for the question, is it better new, or used detector. Osobiście posiadałem wykrywacze używane i nowe. In the case of a budget up to PLN 2,000, and for the same money we have more opportunities. If anyone tells you, that the search is just happiness, you can sympathize with him omitted valuable signals. Nothing discourages a novice detectorist more than an ineffective detector - and such equipment with low quality and poor adaptation options for the search should be considered as such. The last plus of stimulants is this, that if a given detector gets bored, will cease to be sufficient etc.. This is its sale price, unless in the meantime we did not bring the equipment to the ruin, will be practically identical to the purchase.
