[QUOTE="Guest, post: 98683"] Don't tell me they've been sitting on this for 5 years :o Anyone sitting on their hands waiting for a dramatic price drop consider this - through all new releases used Minelab machines have maintained a good resale price. Why - demand & even older models are sought after. Why - the new model always sees a new high price if you want it meaning the older machines can still maintain reasonable resale at a much lower than new price. I don't see this being any different. There will still be a market for GPX series detectors after its release - much the same as there is still a market for older Minelab PI's now. Edit: there won't be a mass sell off to upgrade either. Some will buy straight away - many of these will keep their current machines, some will adopt a wait & see approach - some will eventually buy, some won't just like people who have opted to keep their GPX4000 or 4500 now rather than get a 5000. Others will just plug on regardless using whatever they have now. Can of worms officially opened. :lol: Would be good but we keep waiting & Minelab keep beating them to the punch. Edit: More dollars if you want the new flagship & a truckload of old coils that you can't use on the new one. Hopefully something new, more user friendly, more capable & no issues out of the box.
