Almost like manufacturers somehow know exactly what the most $ people are willing to pay

it is a little known fact that all detectors have hidden listening devices...and soon they will have gps reporting systems that go directly to the local fed office

I was just informed by my detector dealer that US customers that bought their GPZ before the price cut won't be receiving a discount like the Aussie customers are receiving ($500 AUD)...what's the deal Minelab USA???

If true,  that's just wrong. What, are we chopped liver here. I paid full boat. I should be entitled to the same deal the Aussies are getting.

I just  talked to Minelab Americas. Nice lady named Jean. She relayed to me no decision has been made on a discount yet. She will know more at the 1st of next week. And will let me know anything further. She also mentioned that they are getting plenty of people calling and emails that are not happy about this discount ordeal.

When the 2200 came out (first PI with auto GB) I was loaned a test machine and sent a email review as requested, stating it was a OK machine but it`s Auto GB cancelled out gold, as with time we found all the auto GBs PIs did and once setting GB in auto switch back to manual to search. Regardless I bought that 2200, but since then I don`t get a reply from emails to ML.  Minelab make by far the best gold detectors so I guess they believe they have the right to be somewhat arrogant. Tis the same here in OZ, SS tis their nature.

Well here is the reply I received from my dealer when I asked about the discount for early GPZ buyers:

"Bill,  I had the same question asked yesterday, which I forwarded to Minelab USA.

No such sale will happen here in the USA according to the email I got from Minelab and Phil Beck the GM."

 

By my calculations the discount is worth $376 using a $1.33 conversion rate that LuckyLundy provided. Come on Minelab, do the right thing!

Gerry's Detectors posted on Facebook today that he's offering the 15% military discount on the new coil.

I'd also imagine Rob and the others would be doing the same.

15% is still mighty short to what other Countries will be paying for this new coil.  Now, I'm from California and use to being charged more for a gallon of fuel, pound of ground beef and so on.  You have to be rich to live in this State...Yes, I'm stupid! But not stupid with my $$$...I'm shopping with my Greenbacks, Malaysia, Mexico?  You see me swinging one, you know I did my homework!

Yes I would say that still comes up short especially considering that those that paid full price for the GPZ should not only get the discount others in the world are getting but also the military discount as well if they qualify!! 

Edit: P.S. The more I think about it those that paid the full $10,000 price should get this new coil for free IMHO, since ML dropped the price $2000 shortly afterwards!!
