aufarmer Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 It looked interesting, but don't you think it is a little small, I'd be panning my sample bags forever. And $50 for a pan? Wow. If it was $10 or $15 I might buy one to try as a clean up pan, but $50 is a little steep. I have a large collection of the latest and greatest gold pans but I still use my round Garrett pan 100% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnedoe Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Saw that... Yeah it will work, gold is actually pretty easy to catch. BUT I ain't spending 50 bucks on a novelty pan...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthylucre Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 $50.00 for a piece of plastic is totally unrealistic.It's a slightly different design for an object that is used for a rather uncommon activity....but it's still a piece of plastic.

LipCa Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 ".It's a slightly different design for an object that is used for a rather uncommon activity...." Obviously you are not a miner or prospector....... EVERY miner uses a gold pan. Not an uncommon activity at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnedoe Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 While every miner uses a gold pan, miners aren't all that common..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LipCa Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I guess it depends on where you're at. I see some almost every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I am sure johnedoe means from a market size perspective, and he is correct. Tiny market. That does sometimes justify higher prices for specialty product. Still, no matter what, competition matters and selling a gold pan for $50 when most sell for under $20 is going to be a tough sell. If I was still doing the buying at my old shop I would not be ordering a pile of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Kiesel Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 They should have priced it at $49.95. Sounds way better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
