It drives me crazy as my customers who've been loyal for so long...I have no answers for them? My list is shrinking each day as customers find them from other sources. I'm ok with that...as a detectorist, I understand the desire to use the next best tool (detector). I have noticed an uptick in my Deus-II sales as well. As for the military discount a select few dealers offer. Those sales, are a partial loss of profit for both the dealer and the manufacture. The manufacture only gives a partial credit (towards more detector purchases). In the end, the dealer and manufacture both make a little less money. We all make mistakes and hopefully lessons will be learned and down the road, things will get better. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatOneDigger Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Cabela's getting another 100+ detectors again. I'm sure they had even more this morning but as of when I took this screenshot 100. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Minelab and the distributors would have sent this many to each dealer mostly all the pre-orders would have been filled. Cabela's should get some detectors but for Minelab to give the almost 90% of distribution seems pretty unfair. I know most dealers are getting less then 10..sometimes even less then 5. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
