GoldMember Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 I don't know, but I can't exactly complain! Maybe I SHOULD just splurge for the best, first! It's getting old, trying to find a decent deal on the likes of Ebay, for a starter detector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted January 20, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Hello arahi666, I clueless about that one ... The US Price on the Minelab GP3500 was 3,499.95, the price on the new GPX-4000 is $3.998.95. The price on new PI gold detectors is normally $500 higher than the last model. Hope this helps a bit,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldMember Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 The issue here is the US Dollar is falling in world markets. AU$1 buys you a lot more American goods today than it did when you got your 3500. I'll bet that is your issue. The flip side is, we Americans pay more for our imported goods, now! At least the gold we find will be worth more. I guess the take-home message is, it's a good time Down Under to get that detector, drywasher, etc, that you have been coveting! -Goldmember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bandana Don Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Last time I looked at the exchange rate on Kitco the OZ dollar would have cost around 3/4ths of a US dollar. That being said, if a US person could get a GPX out of OZ at the US exchange rate it'd cost around $4,346.Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
