A little prediction for GT

[Brawler_7]

Today the GT is supposed to go up to $1000, but I think you will still be able to get a new GT for under $800 for a long time (until it is eventually discontinued) if you look around the web, just my prediction. THIS IS AMERICA AND YOU CANT FIGHT THE FREE MARKET! Hear that Minelab!

 

[Joe of South Jersey]

As a Dealer.....You should know we sign contracts.

If they find these company's, there contract can be canceled or they refuse to sell them product.

Just some food for thought........

They can tell you what you can advertise for not what you can sell for that is price fixing and against federal law.

If MineLab raises the wholesale price to the dealers, the dealers won't have any other choice but to raise the price to the customer. It has nothing to do with price fixing. Whether people are willing to pay the price increase will determine the future of the Sovereign GT. I am very happy with the performance of my GT, but I would be very hard pressed to pay $1000 for another one. What worries me is if this is the start of across the board increases for other machines, and not just MineLab. JMHO

If you look at what's happening in the economy everywhere; food, gas, everything is going up in price. People are still out of work in large scale and wages are sitting still. I feel we he are heading backwards towards another recession crises.

 

[Ron from Michigan]

A manufacturer can charge what ever they want for their product.The customer will decide if they will pay the MSRP or not.The Sovereign is a good product. The Minelab dealer's did announce that the Sovereign's price was going and now the price is up.LOL I should have bought gold like the guy I worked with when gold was $200.00 dollars an oz.Wish I hadn't give him a lecture on how he was making a mistake by not putting more in his 401K.

Here is a news flash WE never left the recession and are rapidly heading for the big D "How is that hope and change working for you"

The big picture is that we are not drilling for our own oil and are being held hostage by OPEC, the tree huggers and the current administration. Fuel costs are skyrocketing adding to the cost of everything not just detectors.
Windmills and solar panels just won't get it

And outsourcing the majority of our labor, borrowing millions from China (they practically OWN us financially), importing most everything and producing very little in this country of late. We have a teenage/20 year old class with little to no thinking skills and a public school re"education" that is unwilling and unable to work with their hands. In short, I believe we are in trouble!

In short I KNOW WE ARE LOWER TAXES, Reduce government spending, downsize government and produce our own energy. All it would take is for the government to announce we are going to drill everywhere & OPEC would slash prices & increase output to prevent us from going forward

Saw a XS in classified section on a treasure sight today with 8 in coil for $300 so much for the price increase. I hope they do not ever sell another one. Moved there factory to get cheap labor and then pull this. Minelab is just greedy and not very good at take g care of there customers. Just my thoughts.

Well, still plenty of places where it's advertised at $798, including EBay, the UK prices seem to be the same as well. Guess it's to early to tell, will see in a week.

By the way, Kellyco has the Sovereign GT on sale right now if you want to grab a bargain, it is $999, BUT you get $543 in FREE accessories! What a great deal!





LOL

I see a lot of complaining about high taxes and labor unions breaking the backs of industry. But I need someone to help understand how a company from Japan can move here and thrive. Even be a leader in the market, with the same unions,same taxes,same EPA, same OSHA, same labor laws, same economy & same health care system. Yet American based companies are failing while using 3rd world labor and products. Could it be they are being mismanaged or greedy. Remember chainsaw AL. I'm sure the anti labor conservative executives, wouldn't take a handout from the taxpayer then vote themselves big raises or bonuses would they? I'm no fan of Obama, he's done nothing to help the situation. But the one before him took a thriving economy and a country that was beginning to pay back it's debt and brought it to it's knees in 8 years. Maybe he needs to return to office to straighten out his conservative mess.

When less than 1 percent of the population has over 35 percent of the wealth, while the middle class get squeezed at both ends, something is going to break.

Please reread the Constitution. I find it odd that people blame the President for financial woes. We are not a dictatorship (yet). The Constitution defines roles with checks and balances. In the Constitution, the President (executive branch) has NO say in $$ matters, except to sign bills. Money appropriation is given to the legislative branch. Hence the Congress has say in $$. If you wanna point fingers look at the Congress (which in the Constitution has the power to appropriate $$). And/Or somebody please explain, within the Constitution, how is is any President's fault??? I think WE ALL need to go back and read that document. We would be horrified to see what our government is and is not doing correctly. (HInt: a federal income tax is unconstitutional).

But there is nothing stopping the middle class from gaining wealth (except more and more taxes) The opportunity is there if a person want's to go for it
