XP Update on Deus 2 Hitting the US

I was told thousands seems like that info was incorrect....I dont like sharing incorrect info.. I know how it is to be waiting.
Not your fault calabash, you can only pass in the info your given.
Now, it seems some guys are upset and if they try breaking your balls remember your safe word is Garrett,,you utter that word and I'll be here to catch your back. lol
 
Hate to bring more bad news but a friend of mine talked to someone at American Detector Dist. which is one of the two Distributors in the US. and they said they were only getting 125 detectors apiece for a total of 250 in this first batch. Looks like its going to be a long wait but like Calabash said I think it will be worth the wait.
Don't shoot the messenger.----It's good to get accurate info on this---at least now we know where we stand (in line).-------Even if I should never get a Deus 2, I've got my Deus 1 and it's an amazing detector also.

That is ONE distributor of total US of 272 Distributors. Do the math...
 
I believe Calabash is getting info direct from XP. He and XP have a tester relationship. He has direct ordering with them because of this. No Mystery here. Legit. As far as price point between Legend and Deus II? Two different classes of machines. XP is already dwarfing what the Legend can do. IMHO the legend is looking better than the NOX for now. Comparing either to the Deus II, different league and no contest. Thus the price difference. You get what you pay for.
In this whole “2 new units coming! One from Nokta one from XP!“ thing, for some reason in the rush of information I equated that to “they will be competitors with each other and this dynamic duo will be the next jump”. It sure looks like the Legend is in the Equinox category and the D2 is by itself. I am 1,000% on board with paying the money for the best tech available.
What I was really referring to about Calabash was the fact that he has 3 or 4 D2’s already. They didn’t send him 4 machines to test! HOW did he get the others? That’s what I’m asking, and perhaps he can shed some light on that while he’s here….🙂

Distributor and DEALER are different. There’s one in Waukesha Wi and the other. Two main warehouses is where they ALL come from.
 
Your right. There are only two distributors in the U.S. One is in Texas . All the dealers get there detectors from them.
 
Also, a few dealers I talked to hadn’t ordered any before around December 8th when I had contacted them, so maybe they won’t even be getting any of the first batch. They said they mainly carried gold machines and didn’t really consider the Deus a gold machine. And these were US XP dealers directly, according to the XP website. Maybe more will be given to the larger dealers, distributors?

I really really want to have my Deus II in my hands -waiting isn’t fun! On the other hand, if I had it right now, I’d also need a heated suit , heated gloves and a jackhammer to make much use of it.- so there’s that. Not to mention the 2-feet of snow I’m sure is in my not too distant future-so there’s that , too.
 
i cant see me getting a D2 for ages in the uk as demand is so high ..summmer could be gone by the time i can get a D2 lite with 9 coil
 
heres 1 on ebay for 1995

And the seller says…”Won in competition, don’t need as have many detectors already”. And his username? “FuzzyFlipper”.
Yeah…..😂 Let the ridiculousness commence!

Disappointing but I agree not Calabash's fault; I believe he is a straight shooter and only relaying to us on this forum what he was told by "whomever" at XP Deus France regarding the numbers of new Deus II's that are to be delivered here in the US. I guess my biggest question is this: XP Deus France must realize that the XP is the TOP DOG at the moment of detectors on planet earth in the detector market. They've had 10 years since the initial release of Deus I in 2008/2009 I believe to understand the huge marketing demand of the XP Deus. XP Deus as any conglomerate company does the internal marketing analysis and understands the "tremendous" user demand in the US market and elsewhere for these machines. Help to understand why then such few initial deliveries at the initial launch? It does not make sense to me. Is it that Deus XP does not have the complete "total" of all XP Deus IIs to deliver (COVID-19, chip delays/supply chain issues) and must build these (which would result in the delay)? Or is it is the distribution system flawed due to either supply chain/logistic issues whereby XP Deus is barred on "X" amount of delivers due to some US Homeland Security customs protocol? It makes the anticipation worthwhile knowing at some time-these units will be delivered; who knows...it may mean we receive the new and improved DEUS III models when they are delivered! Happy Digging XP (Deus I users) for now....... : - )
 
I just wonder if in the other countries, did they have to pre-order and pre-pay.
From what I seen on FaceBook groups they had to fight for them by ordering ONLINE Only but I suppose if you know the right people they would get you one. The thing I don't get some of them got two and with short supply that seemed weird and now they are flipping them lol.
Who knows maybe people will have enough of it and cancel their orders.

True. I paid through Paypal. I guess I could get a refund. Something doesnt seem right. Companies have to survive by SUPPLY and demand. The demand is surely here.
