Thanks guys, I was probably thinking of prices on the ocassional new ones you see in the classifieds. I wish I could keep it for myself but im pretty happy with my Explorer and working on getting a f75. It seems like a great machine for the price, im sure he will enjoy it, its more then enough machine for him.
I just bought my dad an ACE 250 and it should be to him by the end of the week - he's gonna LOVE it!!
A lot of people chimed in that the 250 is $212.00+ and that's the lowest you'll see it... if you see an online internet "company" selling it for less, I would beware. Everyone that Garrett licenses to sell their products MUST abide by MAP Policy - which is $212.94. Those other "companies" are probably selling something they bought off of someone else, what they're doing is illegal, and I doubt you would get any support or service or guarantee from them at all. I know it's a little more than you may want to spend but just make sure you get the most bang for your buck (which, if you get the $1 or 50% off detector is prolly at Kellyco) and that you buy from someone reputable (all of the TreasureNet sponsors are 100% on the up and up). Just a word to the wise from someone behind the curtains here.
