Metal Detecting Q&A

[Steve-B]

Hi Bob

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

It hadnt actually occured to em to try to ply my wares on here (must be slipping).

But, if Mr Host is agreeable then I am more than happy to offer a discount to you guys on the books etc.

I tend to present the detctors that I sell in a different way to other retailers.... normally you are offered the machine at the retail price together with a accessories (to a lesser or greater degree depending on price)... well I dont work this way, I start of with a heavily discounted machine only price (some manufacturers include one or more basics, some none).

I then advise the customer on essential accessories to purchase, (you would be surprised from the vast list of accessories just how few are actually essential) this way the set up is normally still way below retail.... to my mind the customer gets a great deal and I can sleep at night.... it works for me... well so far it has... if I am on the streets selling the Big Issue this time next year then I screwed up big time...

I am happy to discuss anyones needs and extra discounts for quantities etc and having worked on a couple of archaeological digs as a detectorist, I have a good idea of what is required...

Anyway.. a good idea, perhaps we could develop it further..
