Gerry’s Detectors, Good Experience

[Tmox]

I bought  a Equinox 900 from Gerry and the experience was good enough for me to take this time and put a little air in his tires.

 

i needed to replace my 800 that I backed my truck over and totally destroyed it. I was surprised with the Minelab announcement about the 900 and really surprised when Gerry posted he was getting a shipment in a week.

 For me the nearest dealer is hundreds of miles away. I thought awhile about who I was going to give my business to.

I really like Steve H and Detector Prospector, I get lots of useful information here without the b.s., if there is important information out there it will be here. Gerry’s Detectors has always put out good useful content here so they were on my radar.

So I did it; at the time Gerry was rumored to be in Mexico on vacation. Rather than call, I sent him an email and told him to send me a 900, if you’re on vacation get back to me when you get home. As you know he was on vacation but I had an email within hours letting me know when he got home he send out a detector. 
- true to his word he called me the afternoon he got home. The detectors didn’t get on the delivery truck but would be in his hands the next day.

-Gerry was on the line with me the next morning, he had my detector but asked a favor, he was trying to get everyone detectors in their hands before Christmas, he wanted to ship the east coast people first then me on the west coast to get everyone something before Christmas. He was true to his word and would send mine first but wanted to spread the love if I was willing to wait one day.  I really appreciated that honesty and desire to take care of his customers. Hell, how would I know if he shipped theirs first and mine a day later?  I wasn’t in dire need of the 900, there were 2 800’s and an Impulse AQ in the house so I could get by one more day.

 The 900 arrived as promised, I was happy and excited. Gerry honored the the military discount of course. 
- Did you know that the military discount exists in North America due to Gerry’s relationship with the former President of Minelab North America. 
-Did you know the dealers bear part of the cost of that discount?

 I’m glad I bought from Gerry, I have a new friend and my hard earned money went to someone who supports this forum and this hobby. 
 

Happy New Year!

When I was buying my nox 800 I couldn't decide between it and the GM 1000. I told him I was in Tasmania and therefore not a customer, but would like some unbiased advice, he did just that and answered my enquiries promptly and I think honestly. The answers I got from him and reading Steve Herschbach's excellent reviews, swayed me to the 800, a decision I haven't regretted.

The exact reason why I have purchased detectors through JP (Outback Prospector) here in Australia and a few items through Nenad at Phasetech as well.  The dealers who have a presence here on DP do provide quality information and do take the time to answer questions asked of them, and to provide them with our custom in return can only be a good thing  🙂 

Good work Tmox  👍

Gerry is a great person to deal with, I have purchased a few things from him and have never regretted doing it.

Tim, Thanks for taking the time to write such a fine detailed review of how I run my business.  Yes, as a Veteran myself, I enjoy working with and helping other Veterans earn 15% off.  You are also correct in that a Veteran sale is less profit in my pocket.  But sometimes it's not always about the money.  Heck, if that was the case, I'd sell the few Manticores I've received at full MAP, but instead, 3 of them has been Military.  I figure what comes around, goes around and if I do my part to try and help folks, I have a great chance of staying in business.

Thanks again Tim and everyone else for the great comments.

Hopefully I'll get some time on the Equinox 900 soon and be able to share my findings, knowledge and notes.

He's in customer service not consumer sales.

Hey Guys,

  This is coming from another Dealer, Gerry has his own ways .... LOL , but is a stand up guy and fights the good fight for the detector industry.  If I could of just tape recorded or shot a video of the handful of times Gerry has stood up against the Minelab bigshots during these conferences, fighting for better prices, better products and just to listen to us (the dealers and end users a bit more) on feedback about new products/detectors.  

P.S.  Ok, Gerry now you owe me a slice of pizza and a cold one from that Rye Patch bar/restaurant ... Hehe

I still like eating steak and lobster on occasion, so need a few sales here and there.
