Small Coil Price- A Listing By One Dealer-- Seems Has Others Things "in Stock"

[Guest Tnsharpshooter]

Saw this listing.

The prices for all Equinox coils was set at zero until recently but seems now a price is reflected on the smaller coil.

Don't know how much stock to put in this here, but thought I would share.

So that backs up the price mentioned in this thread.  Plus the ML Equinox accessories page is up, so good sign we're close to seeing some accessories ship.

The 11" has a price tag, too: https://www.bigboyshobbies.net/minelab-equinox-11-double-d-smart-coil

Wow, I just looked up the WM08 for a second one for my son and I to hunt until I can cut him loose when he is comfortable.  It is frigging 29% of the MSRP of the 800!  Hard pass :)  Excited to see some people out there with the 6" and see what kind of depth it offers!

Yikes!  The 15 is going to be EXPENSIVE!  My guess is $279 MAP.

Bart at Bigboys is a straight shooter. I have bought a lot of stuff from him

If you look at the price of the accessories it tells me the Equinox 800 was a darn good deal

Lol.  If you buy the WM08 and BT headphones as "Accessories" for your E600 that will only cost you $400 additional vs. the $250 additional the E800 costs vs. the E600 if MAP holds.  Hello, third party BT APTX LL options.   That is a real head scratcher and could result in some backlash by 600 users.  I could see perhaps a $50 premium, perhaps.  But $150???

The WM08 receive only module that is only compatible with Equinox is only $10 less than the $269 ML Pro-Sonic wireless receiver and transmitter system that is compatible with practically any detector.  

While the WP wired headphones and 6" coil prices are nearly within reason, I think our fears of potential ML steep pricing on accessories have been realized at least as far as the wireless accessories are concerned.  Wonder if this is a calculated marketing move to steer subsequent "casual detectorist" sales towards the 800.  Cynical thought, I know, but really, 600 buyers, ouch!

I don't even use the WM08.. I just use my wireless headphones from the 800 and leave the module in my truck. I may buy a set of wireless for the 600 but that's it for me..

Was thinking the same thing man.  Not going to sell many at that price...  Now even more 600s will sit on the shelf.
