Any Word On Shipment Of Coiltek 10 X 5 Coils?

It looks like the UK Ebay seller has quite a few 10x5 coils, about $330 shipped but you'll get it before the end of the month. Here's the link:

UK 10x5 Nox Coil on Ebay

I'll use what coils I have, and if I have to pay $330 to get one,  then I will go without.   Life will go on, and I will be absolutely as content without it as with it.  If I never have it,  that is fine.

You can just buy it from the NZ Dealer, he ships overseas.   These are what is left from his second batch, I got one from his first batch.

Works out about $212 USD + shipping.

He's a really good guy too, he'd sort you out.

Maybe some of that high UK price is due to the VAT?

Nope, it's crazy profiteering! Taking advantage of the shortage.

 ......you have to get used to the European prices of coils and detectors ... not everything is as cheap here as in the USA or in Australia and New Zealand ..

  price 5X10 "Coil coil for Equinox costs 237 euros here .. what is not small ...

The price on this link to the English seller ...https://ebay.us/oobEdI   ... I consider the same as the European prices ... From this seller I bought a coil ...7 "Mars MD for Spectra / MXT ... from him for a really good price ... and everything went well ..I am satisfied...

  Simon's link I consider the link to the New Zealand seller of the Coiltek 5X10 "coil for Equinox https://www.dredgenz.co.nz/product/10x5-equinox-coil/  ... to be really good .. ,, and right ..👍

I don't think there's much obvious profiteering in that UK dealer's Coiltek pricing. It matches well with the prices for the standard ML coils over here:
Example prices : Main ML dealer, Joan Allen:
ML 11 inch: 190 GBP ; 267 US Dollars
ML 15 inch: 215 GBP ; 303 US Dollars

https://joanallen.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/index/?p=1&q=Minelab+Equinox


That's what 9% import duty plus 20% Value-added tax ( VAT ) does. ( that's 31%, to save you the maths )

To be honest, I doubt UK folks are clamouring for these coils. Partly because of the price, partly because they don't seem much different to what's already available from ML.

The 10x5 is NOT like anything already available from ML.  Agree that the other 2 coils are not that interesting - too heavy or too similar to the existing ML 12x15.

Thank you!  I ordered one yesterday.  The total, with shipping to Oregon, was $271, a bit more than listed in the USA, but they aren't available in the USA, so it was worth it to me.  They were very nice people to deal with, as Phrunt stated.
