And the first used Deus 2 hits the classifieds

woodbutcher · Feb 12, 2022

Saw it on findmall. Said he accidentally ordered two? Not saying it's not true, but that's a heck of a stretch not noticing two $1500 purchases.
Great opportunity for someone tho that's looking for one

No way, lol...I'll be the first to admit that's way outta my ballpark. Although 5 years ago I did buy a new original deus for like $1300 ish, hell I didn't sleep right for a month.. Those coins can stay in the ground.
I will say tho the machine looks promising

$1500.00 coin vacuum? hell's a fire there ain't that much "clad"
left to find! I'm just sayin'

(h.h.!)
j.t.

There is...but the question is do I want to dig it? For me no...but for younger people getting into the hobby...yes. 20-30 years ago I dug the clad like there's no tomorrow and paid for my detectors several times over, but now, pushing 60, I'd rather spend my time finding historical stuff.

At $1500 the reseller would be selling at a significant loss. Deus II are $1599 wherever I looked...before taxes or shipping. Are posters ignoring that extra ninety nine dollars like it don't count or something, or am I just not seeing these at the lower price that is commonly quoted?

They say they are fixing the warranty statement regarding both transferrability and the water leakage issue. Here's a statement on the XP site about the warranty: https://www.xpmetaldetectorsamericas.com/warranty
SORRY, THIS STATEMENT WAS MADE ABOUT THE ORIGINAL DEUS, NOT THE DEUS II. DISREGARD IT AS DEUS II RELATED. MY BAD.
If you buy a used one, get a copy of the original sales receipt!

Good to know thanks for posting that..

Pretty lousy warranty for 1600 bucks. Non-tranferable and they're not liable if it leaks!

Guess their lawyers wrote the first warranty. They must have figured out that you have to give some sort of guarantee when you're fleecing someone for 1600 bucks for a detector that costs 100 bucks to make...

Pretty sure they copied the Deus 1 manual :laughing:

I still wouldnt want to ship my detector to France on my own dime...

The way it reads it's for the Deus Not the Deus 2. If it had said ALL Deus detectors I wouldn't question it.

The price tag is very much like the repair bill at the auto shop I work for. You’re not paying 121$ an hour for my 8-9 time slot. You’re paying for the last 27 years of experience and the master tech in the bay. In the case of new technology, you’re not paying for the actual materials and assembly, you’re paying for the R&D and the top of the line minds who are currently in the field, and of course the reputation the company has built. Now whether this is XP, Minelab, FT.…doesn’t matter. The company is looking to recoup their investment and then some, that’s WHY they’re in business. There are dealers who are hangin’ tough at 1,599$ because it’s early and there aren’t any units. But if you’re paying that, just be aware it’s not the best price available.

There is a full service center in your state so all you would have to do is drive it there... I couldn't find it but I believe Jmaclen posted the link somewhere in beach forum...

Oh dang. You're right. This statement is for the original Deus. I just reread and saw the year 2013. oops. Anyway, as tnsharpshooter has posted, David from XP said they are recommending changes to the warranty-which was copied from/based on the original Deus warranty-regarding both of these issues.

This is their warranty statement regarding all XP detectors: https://www.xpmetaldetectors.com/en/page/warranty.php

This statement does not eliminate the water ingress line, but the Deus II warranty should be getting upgraded to address this. Five years is a good warranty duration, so I hope they get it right.
Save the receipt!

You really didn't look hard enough lol.

I'm sure some resellers are willing to drop the price on a few Deus IIs to a few special customers.

It's normal to get free shipping + a small discount on a new metal detector purchase if you contact the dealer directly and ask. And the more expensive the detector, the more wiggle room the dealer has to offer a discount.

If I don't get a free hat , no deal.

And the first used Deus 2 hits the classifieds
