New Minelab Dealership For Bendigo

[roughnugget]

I guess Minelab aren't closing down their dealerships, they aren't against multi-brand dealers. Maybe they are just tiding up their dealer network and clearing out the dealers that have nothing to offer. Phil is a nice guy, wealth of knowledge, and is good for the new all the way up to the experienced prospector. Hopefully this puts some of the rubbish I've read on here to bed the last few days. So many "stabs in the dark, rumours and info from people who have zero idea or think they know whats happening in the industry. Was worth signing up just to post this.

Do they sell GPX6000s.

The plot thickens, he's an Algoforce and Garrett dealer.  A nice guy too.

I don't think anyone but Minelab knows what's going on, dealers who are sacked must get a little information about why.  All the rest is just guessing, trying to understand why, they're got rid of some pretty good and important dealers that certainly offer a lot more than nothing.

The key phrase in this whole opinion driven discussion...

Whenever there is not a clear reason for something that happens, it invites speculation, just a human reaction of wanting to understand.

You have to look at it from a corporate point of view, there is a thing called commercial in confidence, the big guy is not going to break that for legal reason because they have more to lose, the small guy making all the noise has already lost every so they go out trying to cause issues in the market and unrest.. and looking at some of the posts here, he has succeeded.

Oh dear, unrest among the peasants, people on the internet voicing opinions on things they know little or nothing about - what are we to do!
