Minelab will raise prices

[bakergeol]

I guess on January 1 2008 Minelab will raise it's detector prices to the costs below.


Minelab GPX-4000 - $4,495.97
Minelab SD2100v2 - $1,995.97
Minelab SD2200v2 - $2,495.97
Minelab Explorer SE - $1,298.97
Minelab Sovereign G/T - $798.97
Minelab Eureka Gold - $898.97
Minelab Excalibur II - $1,198.97

The Sandman already stated that the cost of the NEW Excaliabur II would be $1,198- perhaps a January release date for the detector?

Of the above detectors the GPX-4000 will show the greatest increase $500. It will induce a lot of people to buy the GPX-4000 before January. Decrease in the value of the dollar overseas probably was responsible? 10% increase looks like.
My theory on this is that they are coming out with the GPX-4500 next year and want to reduce dealers'inventory. Watch it there will be more moans from folks who just bought their GPX-4000s when the new GPX-4500 comes out and will watch their detector quickly decrease in value.

George, are these the actual dealer selling prices or just the retail prices?

These are the dealer selling prices. They came from a Minelab dealer.

I guess that the X-Terra series does not get an increase? Thanks for the link, Beale.

Does that mean that the Explorers on eBay and Craig's List that sell for $350 to $650 with only a few hours on them will also increase in price?

Actually the best bargains for mint detectors is just after Christmas.

Folks selling their x-mas presents that they were not suited for.
