DETECT TRADE-IN SERVICE
Trade in or sell your metal detector
Ready for a different metal detector, or no longer using your current one? At Detect, we can consider your detector for trade-in or outright purchase. Every enquiry is reviewed individually, with no obligation.
Request a no-obligation assessmentA fair, individual assessment
We consider the brand, model, age, technical and cosmetic condition, included accessories and current demand. Based on these factors, we decide whether we can make an offer.
Please note: Not every metal detector is eligible for trade-in or purchase. Any estimate based on photographs is provisional, and a final offer can only be made after inspecting the detector.
How does it work?
Send details and photos
Tell us the brand and model, describe its condition and list the included accessories.
We review your enquiry
We consider whether a trade-in or purchase is possible and may provide a no-obligation estimate.
Inspection and completion
If we are interested, we agree on how to receive the detector. A final offer may follow after inspection.
What information do we need?
Please include the following to help us assess your detector:
- Brand and exact model
- Approximate age or purchase date
- Clear photographs of the complete detector
- Included coils, headphones and other accessories
- Working condition and any damage or faults
- Original proof of purchase, if available
- Remaining manufacturer warranty, if known
- Whether you want a trade-in or an outright sale
Lost the original receipt? That does not necessarily rule out an offer. Just let us know. Please also mention if you still have the original packaging.
Why is a trade-in offer different from a private selling price?
Asking prices on private marketplaces are not necessarily the prices items actually sell for. We also need to inspect, potentially clean or service, and resell used detectors. As a business seller, we have responsibilities towards the next customer. This means our trade-in or purchase offer may be lower than a potential private-sale price.
The final value depends on the condition of the detector and market demand. You are under no obligation to accept our offer.

Frequently asked questions
Can I sell my detector without buying another one?
Sometimes. It depends on the model, condition and current demand. We assess every enquiry individually.
Do you buy every used metal detector?
No. Not every model fits our used-equipment range. We only make an offer when there is a suitable opportunity.
Can I get a guaranteed price in advance?
We can often provide an initial estimate from clear photos. A final offer is only possible after inspecting the detector.
Does the detector need to be complete?
Complete, fully working sets are particularly interesting to us. Please tell us about missing accessories or known faults.
Can I ship my detector straight away?
Please contact us first and wait for our instructions before sending anything.
