I just got an email advertising pre-orders in the US.  M8 at $239 and M15 for $329.

Is that MSRP or dealer’s discounted price?

I don't really know.  This price is listed on their site (am I allowed to mention the name here?).   I haven't seen anyone advertising prices below MSRP for Minelab stuff here, but they will instead offer things like free shipping, no tax, and/or "free" accessories.  The first two are included on this one.  They do list that as the discounted price, but it is from an odd number that doesn't look like MSRP.

This isn't a sponsored by dealers site, so you can name dealers no problems, that's one of the great things about it, no bias towards any company or dealer when there is no associations with any.

US prices might be softened by the very weak Aussie dollar so on paper might seem somewhat okay.

1 Aussie dollar buys just 65 US  cents ☹️

I knew it wasn't sponsored, but there are some dealers that post here.  Other sites can be pretty picky about sponsors and such.  I know people tend to be more level-headed here, which is also why I come here more, but I didn't want to do anything out of line.

The email was from Modern Metal Detectors.  I've never bought anything there, but had signed up for their emails when I was waiting for a Manticore.  I have no interest in pre-orders, but at least they made it clear that they would charge now and ship at what could be several months in the future

We dealers were updated to the part #'s and prices yesterday.  We were also told of No Pre Orders and ETA of the accessories.  I'm hoping for Christmas.

already paid for my M8 with found change this season (thanks to having $1 & $2 coins here in Canuckistan). So quit your whining and go dig some quarters, lol. Hopefully they'll be up here by xmas.

So Minelab set a stupidly high price just so they can offer it on "sale" almost immediately.......geniuses working at Minelab.

May as well price it at $658 and then offer the 50% off sale for a limited time.....bargain at $329.

If enough people held off buying then the price would soon drop.
