I belive they where. North East Distrubitor in the States

Here what they wrote in the Auction

We are selling the remaining units of our inventory because our owner is sick and liquidating assets.  Again, we cannot stress this enough  this is a 100% real, authentic Minelab GPX4500 sealed in the box with warranty

Oh dear! isn't that the one Minelab warned about on the news page?

  Thats a shame!  I do not think any Minelab dealer can sell for less than the other dealers.  They offer a bunch of "extras", but are set by a low price.  You should check here first before spending your money.  Sorry, but I think you got a reproduction and not a real Minelab.

A Minelab dealer owns the detectors he stocks, in
most cases.
If he is going out of business,he is no longer a ML
dealer,and can sell them for what he wants to.

I know what a 4500 cost a dealer. No I won't tell,
so don't ask. There is more wiggle room for profit
than you may think. Don't let a lower than dealer
advertised price sway your judgment too much.

The poster did state that his new 4500 was finding
gold. If must have been the real deal. If it was a fake,
and finding gold ,it was still a good deal. ::24::

This company is an authorized ML dealer but the company he sold it to is NOT an ML authorized dealer. If something goes wrong with the detector then ML will I suspect not honor the warranty because dealers are not supposed to sell detectors outside their own country ie USA dealers cannot sell to anyone in Australia etc.
To  see if your detector is the real deal go to:

Took the new 4500 out again todayfor the 2. time.
Found anotehr 20 grams on the same patch where i was not able to find more with the SD2200v2 , the smallest just 0.08grams!!
HOw is it possible to pick a Nugget that small??? It was very faint even in boost and it took me ages to locate...

And used a 16" mono for the first time today, i love it!!
