Hey there, does anybody on here have any idea of the cost of a garret Atx in NZ? I cant seem to find a retailer over here.

Thanks!

No idea - gotta be less than $1,500 though :)

You'd have to check to see it the weight/size falls within the NZ Post YouShop dimensions as I don't think KellyCo ship direct to NZ.

There's probably a few guys who have imported machines, I think Creamer got his from overseas...

Remember customs will probably sting you for GST as well. Presumably the price on the Kelly co site is US dollars, so with the current exchange rate and possible GST you'd be looking at about $3300 to $3400. plus frieght

$2120.75USD Which is $2456.37NZD at current rates. Add GST, approx $100, freight and $80 clearance fees and you will be looking at just over $3000NZD.

Being Garrett, Kellyco will no longer ship direct to NZ but you can get it sent via NZ Post YouShop which uses a US address unless you have a mate in the US who is willing to forward it to you.

KellyCo price I quoted was converted to NZD to ease comparison between the NZ agent and Overseas source. Even with GST, it's still under $3k (plus freight)

hi Mugwiggle My calculation was based on the Kellyco Garrett ATX Pro DeepSeeker Package Metal Detector where as yours is on the Garrett ATX Extreme PI Metal Detector package ; I just realized when I had a look again that they have 2 packages available the deepseeker comes with an extra mono coil.
