Mn Metal Detectors Shops

I've been dwelling on the Mn Metal Detector Shops in my area,which by the way are not to many,but my point is does a person really need a metal detector shop to find the detector that's right for you,or perhaps accessories if that be the case?

I have not been to all the shops in this state that sell metal detectors,but the few I've been to,are like going to a used car lot dealing with a used car salesman.

They monopolize the price,so you are not going to find a better deal by going to another shop.The prices are set in stone,and the mark up is there.

What is the markup the dealers get,by being able to purchase in bulk..and thus sell to us consumers?

That's a good question?

Or do the business owners who sell detectors for a living take this curiosity as a threat to their very survival?

Well honestly speaking,I personally don't care what they think,else I would not be writing this article.

That's why I strongly recommend you look around when shopping for metal detectors.

Many of these dealers have the prices set in stone,and many of the brands these companies push,decided to take care of the dealer..before the consumer.

So in many ways,shopping for metal detectors is like going though a car lot shopping for cars.These salesman need their cut,like they built the dam things.

Now please know now,I don't hate,nor am I against the Mn Metal Dector Shops in the state.I'm just stating,that there is markup on detectors,and the dealers who sell them,I won't bend over backwards buying the slogan how great it is to support local business.

Buying something anywhere for that matter,only helps the guy selling.

When it's made in America,you're dam right it helps,but what difference is there buying one online for a cheeper price?

This economy is hurting us shoppers too!!

We've been spammed here pretty dang hard by local metal detector shops,and their bottom line is how great it is to buy local,and help your local community by keeping business in the area.

Well that's great for them,but we're not talking groceries here,or clothing.

It's a metal detector for Christs sake...

Most these shops think this blog is here to support their business.

If any product is sold from this blog,I get a chump change at best.

For example to keep it simple,I make 4 bucks out of every hundred spent.

A dealer makes a hell of alot more than that,and many of these dealers spend their time here to get whatever sale I can get..Which is about 1 sale a year,they feel they need that too.

They have the detector for you,and they absolutely love selling them to a family,or husband / wife..because they end up selling more detectors.

I'd say the big money when it comes to metal detectors..is selling them!!!

LOL

I'd say 75% of all metal detectors sold,the guy who sold it to you,made more money off the markup,than what you'll ever pull out of the ground with it.

The dealer selling this to you,knows that :)

This sounds more like lining their own pocket,than making a big difference for your local economy,by buying local etc.

I've had it with these shops,and websites that come here trying to sell their shit,by using my reviews,my experience,and the stories..and opinions I have to share here.

You guys have shops,and websites..stay the hell out of here,because if I wanted to inform all my readers where all the local metal detector shops are..I'd just cust,copy,and paste the phone book here..Geeewhizzzz.

I've told my readers a gazillion times..shop where you can get the best deal,and most all reputable brands of detectors have a warranty.

If it was not for the warranty,even the dealers wouldn't be around very long..It's that warranty that makes a detector reputable,and finding the best price for a detector is the other factor in my book..Not metal detector dealers with the smile on their face,and pissing down my back at the same time..

Yea,yea,yea..I've heard it all..The dealer is very resourceful,helpful,knowledgable etc..

This is Minnesota for crying out loud...LOL

When it comes to someone selling you a metal detector,they sell alot of jargon as well getting you to buy it.

It's really up to you,on what you accomplish,and what your gains will be.

If treasure hunting is in your veins,you won't remember a dam word the dealer said to you on your purchase.

I'll keep you posted on the local Mn Metal Detector shops..that I assure you of.

  1. I have to agree with this article.There is a good markup for the dealer,but they probably wouldn't make a living selling them if not just for that.

    I think alot of these companies who manufacture them should have an outlet so the public can buy direct.To many middle men involved,and the mom & pop shops don't cut it these days when it comes to stuff like this
