One of the most important things about buying a new detector is choosing a dealer. Not all dealers are alike, just as with any other retail sales group. You can choose your dealer in many ways.
Some dealers provide excellent service.
Some dealers offer low prices. The sad truth is that very few dealers offer both, especially when dealing with internet or catalog dealers. I have only found one internet dealer that provides great service and low prices. The truth is that most of these dealers, just offer low prices and elevator music when you call. I have found one dealer that is truely interested in promoting the recreation.
