I have purchased from Kellyco and from Big Boys Hobbies. There's no comparison on customer service. I only buy from Bart at Big Boys Hobbies now. He will treat you right!

I am a newbie to this forum, but have been detecting for several years. I don't have anything bad to say about any vendor I have dealt with from this site, but I do want to say that Vance Detectors is top notch. I was hunting a specific used machine and of all the vendors I dealt with, Vance was the best and spent lots of effort trying to help. Even after all the time spent trying to get what I wanted, he found my detector elsewhere and notified me about it, just to make sure I was taken care of. Better yet he still offered free service for the detector even though he didn't even make a sale. I will be making my first call for anything to Vance Detectors.

It sounds like you have found a great dealer, BombFarm. I am not saying that Bart at Big Boys Hobbies is the only good dealer around, just that you are not going to go wrong dealing with him. He has earned my trust and my business. If you find something you like, there is not reason to change.....I like Bart!

Agreeing that Bart is a good man to deal with says a lot about your own integrity. I am sure you are every bit as good as BombFarm says you are!

I've used many dealers through the years and now I only deal with Bart.
