Ordering a Bazooka, problems

[walldo]

Once the web site shows the updated models I will go for the super prospector.

I have watched many YouTube videos of the BGT and want one.

Hi blynch35, is "goldrushguys" the actual manufacturer or a distributor?

 

[Ben Cartwright SASS]

No, Todd at Home of Bazooka Gold Company makes them. Give him a call, he is a good guy.

I ordered my Super Mini from Todd directly. Great guy but sometimes he gets swamped and is almost impossible to reach via email. Love the Super Mini (no classifying and catches the really fine gold).

they are a distributor. really good guys no mark up. they are on the east coast.

If they don't mark up the product that means they sell it for the same price they pay for it. How do they stay in business? Normally you have to make some kind of profit (mark-up).

We get them with enough of a price break that we make a little profit. (There's not as big of a markup in prospecting equipment as you may think anyway.) It's more, so that Bazooka Gold Trap has a presence on thge East Coast and items get shipped in a timely fashion than anything.

Todd's a great guy, but there are time he's just spread to thin. We try and pick up the slack.

Understood 49r (was going to call you Charlotte LOL) sounds like a typical agreement. I think alot of us forget we are a true fringe group, not like golf or tennis more like bacci. I think alot of the popularity of different sluices or pans is due to what people see when they are out there.

I recently ordered a Super Mini and Super Prospector. Can't wait to try them out, but that's months away.

I also ordered the super prospector. Have used the prospector with a friend and am impressed .

 

[blynch35]

you guys are going to love them i have them both and they work great.

 

[alienbogey]

Picked up mine from the post office today, they look great, can't wait to try them.

 

[walldo]

I received my super prospector two days ago. Weather be damned I am heading out tomorrow.

 

[Sportsman]

Walldo, how long did it take to get your super prospector? Strongly considering a super mini and wondering what lead time is. I'll try to call tomorrow if I can make time.

 

[walldo]

My order took 15 days. I called first to make sure they had the model I wanted.

Got to meet Todd Osborn last week as I picked up a Miner and a Mini. Great guy!
Holy Smokes that Miner is huge! Almost changed my mind for a Super Prospector. Got a Mini instead for those times the Miner is too big.
