That guy is somewhat disingenuous in his calculations and facts. As it stands we have to pay Au$3,200.00 for the new deal, and he states sellers have theirs listed for almost twice as much. That price is only available until 31 August, not the "regular" sell price and I don't see ANY "used" 4500's over $5,000.00 even with loads of spares.
Additionally, he states he was in the market for a 4500 and is how he came across the info., so as a BUYER, i would expect him to be DELIGHTED with this new outcome. Based on his figures he can now have a brand new unit for the same cost of a previously "used" item.
Also, he is "educating the uninformed" (his words) with misinformation himself. He points to the previous theft of units as to what is being put back on the market, yet that was only approx. 300 units and this does NOT constitute a RE-RELEASE as is the real case by Minelab.
Shame there's no response section like in forums, to highlight his shortcomings of argument, cos now the "uninformed" are still so.
Just another GOM having a whinge over nothing.... it is what it is, but he needs to give himself an uppercut and a smack in the back of the head for being misleading and uninformed.
