Thanks again for everybody's help. Now if the ground would hurry up and thaw in iowa.

Dealers by nature will not advertise their lowest price and would rather you call them for their best price. It gets them in trouble with the manufacture. If people keep posting on public forums these below MSRP prices dealers are giving it just might ruin it for everyone. If you get a great deal, cool. And if you must post on a public forum just tell people to call the dealer for a "great price"
That keeps everyone happy and no one gets their neck on the choppin block.

I wasnt aware of the policies / contracts the dealers are subjected to. I agree if you get a great deal advise people to call the dealer directly. I would not want to ruin a good thing for anyone.

I spoke with Sean. He will not quote any prices via email and is strictly adhering to the MSRP prices. If / when he gave any discounts they are for packaged deals. He does not want to get into any trouble with the manufacturer and is adhering to their pricing requirements

You have to call him and ask for the best price. I have made several purchases from him including an AT pro and Garrett Pro pointer...free shipping and fast delivery. I have never found anyone cheaper and I have friends that buy from him too.

Call Bart Davis, Big Boys Hobbies. If it can happen he will tell you. Probably the best shopping experience I have ever had anywhere. Simply painless.

I ended up buying from sean. Best price by far that I was able to get. I spoke with bart and he was nice and very responsive. I wanted to buy from him but $ talks.

Well you got one. That's what counts....well that and figuring it out. I love my AT...the only thing I hate about it is its ability to change the weather. As soon as it sees sunshine it turns it to liquid. If it feels heat it turns it to cold....if I could just get it to turn iron to gold and aluminum into silver I'd divorce my wife and marry it. Lol

Too funny

I bought an AT Pro during the past Christmas holiday for $ plus a coil cover.

Nobody charges MSRP and they don't have to. Every dealer uses MAP (Minimum Advertised Price). All the dealers list MSRP as "retail", "suggested price", "old price" etc and have it crossed out with the "MAP" price under it and will label it as "new price", "your price", "sale price" etc, which I have no Idea why. I guess they want to make you think you're getting a good deal when in reality they all charge this price across the board so they should just list the MAP and be done with it. It's the lowest price they are allowed to "publicly" advertise. That's why you should call to get the best price.

I was just making sure you dindn't confuse MSRP with MAP. Nobody charges MSRP but some dealers do list it even though it's gimmicky.

"Sean" on ebay is not much to go on. any more info suchas his ebay name or location?

When i was researching for buying my Seahunter when I Google searched I found one site that sold units for 40% off but you had to buy in lots of 10. Maybe you could get a group together to save money.

A few years back I was looking into buying a E-Trac for the lowest price possible and learned that copies are made in China that are being sold in the U.S. From that day on I decided to spend the extra buck and use a reputable dealer off of this site, the deals are out there but ....is the big question. Like buying a truck if you cant afford the gas don't buy one..

If you want to buy an AT Pro without accessories and can't find a dealer who will sell it to you, Amazon has them...

Awesome Wayne! I do support the sponsors here

I know why vendors do it, but I would also guess that new buyers often think they can't buy a detector without all of the addons. To be told in an ad (this isn't addressed to you Wayne), that adding all this stuff make the package worth X amount of dollars is insulting.

FYI, We will beat any price out and still give you the customer service before and AFTER the sale. When you out in the field and you have a problem are you going to call ebay or amazon for help?? I help customers on a daily basis with settings and tips on how to get the most out of their machines.

Thanks everyone! HH!
