The way I understood it is that they supply the box into which the probe is placed - for safety sake it is better to use one of the holsters that come with it when it is inserted into the box as this prevents the probe from being affected by exotic viruses. I also noted in one of Mr Metalprobes photos that he is electrocuting fish with it so I assume it also doubles as a poachers pocket probe for electro fishing - I should also imagine that the lady of ill repute and loose morals could find a use for it as well. All this might indicate that it is a utility tool with a multitude of uses, some of them nefarious. Mr Metalprobe - in all seriousness and jokes aside - even I would like to see how it compares with other similar products. If it proves in the field to be as good as competing products then I have no hesitation in saying that they would sell very well out here in Kiwiland and I would buy one myself. You can buy One probe to hunting or play or make testing report I will contact EU dealer if he accept one PC order I will inform you and you can pay by paypal to him

If we like it compared with the products of your competitors then you may be well assured that you will get a substantial number of sales in this country. If you are not prepared to submit one for testing at your expense for testing then it proves that you do not have the confidence in your product to allow it to be tested against similar products. Those who take pride in their products and confidence in their products would happily submit one for testing. People like to hold and see and test what they are buying - there are a lot of Minelab and Garrett products out here as well as other products and we can test them to our satisfaction and buy the ones we choose but there are none of yours here and no one is an idiot enough to buy one without SEEING how good it compares when we can buy what is already here.

I agree with Mr Lammerlaw, What we are proposing is that: 1. You send us a probe for free 2. We will test it against various other makes of probes 3. We will then report back about how good it is compared to these other ones. You are trying to sell an unkown product in a new country. We only buy products that we have confidence in, thus by sending us one to test we tell everybody here how good it is and you will have a new market to sell to. Deal?

One of us would be doing you a favour by testing the probe and telling everybody how good it is thus making sales for you. Thus send it to one of us for free - no postage charges. Otherwise you will not be able to sell in the New Zealand Market. Deal?

For example I have a Great Wall car, these where completely unknown here in NZ a few years ago yet they are a popular seller here now. Do you think Great Wall required the buyers to pay for transporting the car from China when they were unheard of here? No, they brought one across to show and market it. Same in this situation.

Well, it's not link building if there's no links in there, and it's quite an interesting conversation going on. Would be a shame for everyone's hard work to go to waste. :) The progression of his pinpointer design is quite interesting, ending in one with wireless headphones.

Deal? my god I have been required to send free samples over 100 times during the past 2 years R&D working if I do so I will Go bankrupt You dont get it do you Mr Metalprobe? One free sample for evaluation could make you many many dollars but your refusal to have one unit evaluated is going to LOSE YOU THOUSANDS while Garrett and Minelab get all the sales that you could get! Do you want to make money or would you rather take us for suckers and have us pay for what might well be an inferior product? Somehow I think that your product is no good as you dont seem to want to allow us to test it. You know and I know that there is more chance of pushing butter up a Porcupines arse with a red hot knitting needle than going bankrupt! IF you have been requested to send free samples 100 times over the last two years then it is because your unit is unknown and untested - Are you an astute businessman or a phoney - If you know what is good for business then you will send one for testing - free. You might think that we Kiwilanders are dumb dingbats but we arent - we want to know that we are buying good quality and we are not stupid enough to buy one to find it is useless! If it is a good product then send one to us to test and then you might sells many many more on the performance of the test one. What has your god got to do with this anyway - he probably isnt interested and having a rice wine right now.

I also wondered if the local cupid shop would be interested in buying them as multi functional pleasure devices. Whatever the case I am quite certain that with a little bit of imagination they are probably handy things to have but I wont be buying one sight unseen and unproven.

Do you think Great Wall required the buyers to pay for transporting the car from China when they were unheard of here? No, they brought one across to show and market it. Same in this situation. car and probe is totally different product and need different promotion car price over USD5000 - 90000 and probe only USD50-960 car is big industry need bank loan and gov. support anyone buy car need look and try and sit in to touch and local big dealer is necessary if car is faulty product, return and after service is too difficulty but probe is only 150g shipping cost only USD20-30 To promote probe I can sure is more easy than car ( big products) I am also one one of the pioneers in online business which called e-business since 1998 Who is pioneer the more profit is only for him to offer free sample it is unfair for the dealers who has paid for samples ( during the past 2 years over 20 dealers has paid metal probe old models ) and spring summer will coming I do not worry about metal probe market in the world As the designer of the probe the know-how and advance tech. will be pioneer in pinpointer industry. Make Metal Probe is just my hobby and I am in charge of (owner) tradesalon.com business circle to send these probes to VIP I can sure will be more influence than any potatoes, tomatoes Edited by user Tuesday, 5 February 2013 10:38:22 PM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

Please excuse my filthy web nerd jargon! hi gavin SEO is only for B2B C2C and products no tech. know-how, so called E-business is already useless If the price is higher many countries will copy and if the price is lower non profit so do waste of time to put best products on B2B or C2C My probe only send to local dealer and retail price is fixed anytime is found simliar copy I will develop new model so you will find the probe has be re designed over 5 times during the past two years In fact, I'm am more interesting in trade rules network than such metal probes which is small business for me B.
