I have had my E-Trac about a year now but I have used it less than 20 hours. NOT been abused. Only thing wrong is the foam handgrip a guy was standing over it with his rod and dropped the rod and hit my grip and cut it slightly. I am going to repair it but wanted it to be known by any buyer.
Selling it because several of the 5 detectors I have, have to go. No room. And I am an old fart and this detector though its a good one, well, its too smart for me. Or I am too dumb for it. A friend of mine used it last week and had one of the best days he ever had. He already has an explorer and loves his but he wanted to try mine. He figures to maybe get one this fall. In the meantime, I gotta sell mine. Asking 1250.00 with everything. These sell for over 1400.00 now new, but without the extra coil and pole and the Sunray probe. Both add alot of value to this. I have the original box, but I am in Florida now and the box is in storage in Colorado. If that is something you just gotta have, I might, and I do say might be able to get my son up there to get into the storage unit, find the box and then ship the empty box to you. Up to you. Would cost you some bucks for shipping though.
Comes with 2 coils, Sunray probe, two lower rods for each coil, two upper rods, one with the sunray attached. Its on an older blue explorer model rod which is the same as the Etrac rod. I cut a hole in the blue one to thread the cable through so it could be inside the rod as it should from the coil. The original black upper rod I have never used.
Everything works well. Oh, it also includes the Andy Sabicsh book on the Explorer and Etrac. A must have book. Also the manual and field guide. And the CD for the software and the link cable for connecting the etrac to your computer.
The extra coil is the 5 inch Excellerator EQ2 Pro wideband double D. Both coils have covers.
Two powerpacks, the battery pack and the rechargeble pack.
3 screen covers, one fits well, the other is snug so not sure if it is for the etrac or not. The third cover I use to cover the some coil when placed in the case. Oh, and the detector does come with a minelab carry case.
And for those who feel the need, I am also throwing in the shoulder harness to take the weight off even though this detector is pretty light weight anyway.
Asking 1250.00 for it all. Or make me an offer. I am known on the forum, bought and sold stuff, though I havent been active for a few months now since my wife and I have been traveling. Payment via Paypal only at this point please. And no sales outside the US.

Literally boxed or crated and shipped thousands of parts all over the place..and to some countries I never heard of nor care if I hear of them again really. 
Like I said, my jaw bounced off the floor a couple of times 
when the gal behind the counter told me what they wanted to charge me. I asked her who she thought she was kidding. She tried telling me, Oh no, we charge the standard U## rates. I told her no way in He## was what she was trying to charge me was their standard rates. Maybe double standard. She looked at me like I was nuts. Told her I had shipped enough boxes to fill up her dang store a dozen times over. 
Course, I was one of those idiots myself I guess, since I went into that store. 
Talking to that gal made me feel like I was beating my head against a wall though. 
She was talking to me like I was some old fart who was senile 
and didnt know any better.
I can imagine, with all the old folks down here that maybe just dont know any better or perhaps just not physically able to box stuff up for themselves and having no choice but to use a place like that. Just doesnt seem right. I can see making a profit, you dont stay in business long unless you do, but a fair profit charging a fair price without taking advantage of folks. Called business ethics. Guess I have ranted enough and this part of the forum aint the place for it really. 
Never could figure them out. Most are pretty nice folk but there seems to be a higher percentage of outright nuts in their group.
