This has been a good thread…my final thought and comment is this…….
Garrett USA would sell more Garrett detectors if there was no Garrett Australia dealers and thus improving their (Garrett USA) bottom line. I don’t want to sound harsh or unfair but Garrett dealers in Australia are a hindrance in todays market……let them compete on the open world market. I don’t see why I should have to be significantly out of pocket by being forced to pay their premium prices. I am completely okay with a fair markup price but…….all our local Garrett dealer has to do is pass me a box after I’ve passed him my Visa card. That 2 or 3 minutes is likely to cost me at least $1500 more than it should 😡
👏 Bingo! Tony ,you have totally nailed it. For those of you that remember life before the subsidary company in Australia! Now don't go getting on your high horses 🙄 i cant say enough good things about Garrett USA (just for the record) whom i have dealt with personally, but that was long before Garrett Australia . Anyway perhaps Garrett here in ozz are relying too much on past loyalty which was really earned by the parent company in the u.s. anyway and they (Garrett Australia) are cashing in on this?
fwiw I think Garrett have pulled one out of the bag with this detector and just in time too! Will watch and wait with bated breath!

A little thing called GST (goods and services tax) if you can get Garrett Australia to come down from their ivory towers then maybe they can give a breakdown of the leftovers ! We're screwed!

Well ,being a long time Garrett user, swinging garrett deepseekers in the goldfields in the 80's when there was absolutely no one around , and remaining loyal to Garret all these years but lately thats been tested with the advent of minelabs new machines , now i have been saved by the Axiom and just in time 😌 I definitely want one ,but i think i may wait for the dust to settle first before i go on a fire sale! Question to Steve Herschbach , will there be any more refinements made to the Axiom before release depending on how your field tests go ? or is what you have in your hands the final version ? Also i hope it works as well as the Apex for the beach salt water environment! fwiw
