MD Tade Shows

[ableecke]

I am looking to buy a new detector and as there are no MD stores in my area I am looking forward to the Gold and Treasure Show coming to the Seattle area in March, then I can actually handle different brands and models.
My question is, do the MD exibitors at the shows offer deals on MD sales that are better than what can be found normally for the various mail order companies like Kellyco, etc.
If so I will wait for the show, if not, then I may break down and but one sooner.

thanks

Don't know about the trade shows....never been or even seen one. But I recently bought a minelab x-terra 505 from Andrew of New England Detectors, who is one of the sponsors here, and got a one heck of a deal!!!....they will do you right and will throw in some Quality free items...not junk like some other dealers offer...and like I said he did a heckuva deal on the price!!!....

Trade shows are a good place to get some hands on if you have no local dealer. If you had a local dealer they would probably be at the show. There is only so low dealers can go on prices and the trade show will be no different. I have been to a couple and I would go again. Never bought a machine at one. Lots of prospecting equipment on display and usually some demonstrations. Several drawings and maybe even a gold panning contest. Worth checking out. I buy local when I can. When my local guy dropped Minelab I bought from a vendor here. Have fun and good luck!
