UK price for GPZ 7000

GPZ on sale in the UK for £8399 - thats $16790 in Australian dollars...

For that price, its cheaper to fly from London to Perth, buy a GPZ, detect for a week in WA and return.

Hi Nick
Is the cost of living over there dearer as well??
Geez.... That's a lot to pay for a detector

Hi Jen,

Cost of living prob about the same I think (unless you're shopping for fresh food north of Kalgoorlie that is ).

At the UK price it's worth the same amount as a new small car or 11oz of gold.

Hells bells!

LOL

Good Heavens' Nick! Don't you know it's against the law to whinge about Minelab's pricing structures. It a hanging offence Nick, so please be careful. I'll see what I can do, (leave it to me).

Your honour, I'm sure Nick T Pom, had no intention of whinging. He was merely showing us the discrepancy in the pricing, that's all. Nick ( I'd plead the 5th if I was you) or get a better class of lawyer than me.

Hey Slim

It's not the price I'm worried about, its the excess baggage allowance for carrying all that gold on the flight back...

Now, in the meantime I'm just going to win the lottery.

you and young Michael will walk onto a  fortune.

I can't see where Nick is having a whinge. Only stating a fact!
Yeah different country's ... Different prices.. 
And So your honour.. Nick is not guilty!

 we whinge how dear it is down here    

Really... If you think about it.. Every hobby has it's price! 
This I think is the only hobby that gives back.
Unless you are a pro golfer or tennis pro.. You all get what I am getting at.
