Isnt this kind of highway robbery? Jeesh, Almost double what the normal NON-walmart brand named one goes for. Hope people dont fall for this.

What are you so upset about?
It is geared more for crime evidence detection.
Anyone that is stupid enough to buy it can be considered criminally insane so right there is evidence that proves it works.

Ricki7 · Mar 9, 2015

Actually garrett probably said if you want it you pay for it, in attempt to protect their genuine dealers. Walmart's margins are generally thin. If they could sell it cheaper they would.

Thin?
I was in retail for over 25 years.
If this is what they have to sell it for to make money then their margins are unusually thin.
So thin that they have to run around and around in the shower to get wet.

Not a fan either but it's not sold by Walmart. This product is sold by Zoro.

Kellyco has the CSI All Terrain on there for $979.00. It's all about the Benjamin's.

I'm not sticking up for Wally World , but, that is being sold by a third party retailer . If you look closely , it's being sold from Zoro. http://www.zoro.com/i/G8527346/

Around here, no one spends $800+ at walmart.

Besides, I dont want one other local person buying a silver magnet. The ground just spits out silver as you walk by.

It's stupid how high they priced though things, they are priced high everywhere so Garret must jack up the prices significantly even for dealers. The thing is they are not made for the civilian market, they're made more for police departments, and other similar departments who pay with government money. Honestly they could probably sell them for $2k and still get government agencies buying them. Some departments get so much state and federal money they have to look for things to spend it on.

gcsod45 · Mar 9, 2015

And they come with Land Use head phones. I take 3 and a half

shuvelrider · Mar 9, 2015

On the Garrett website they are $979 MSRP, no one is twisting anybodies arm to buy it. Is it the best model to sell through Walmart to the average consumer, probably not. Will it be a big seller for them to the average consumer, probably not.

papaharley03 · Mar 9, 2015

The CSI kit also includes a Garrett Propointer. So that accounts for some of the extra price. There are other items included with the CSI version of the AT-Pro.

Not saying the price is justified, just that it isn't obvious from the ad appearing on Wal-Mart's site.

Yep

And if they don't spend that years budget the next year it drops so other department will get more. Messed up so messed up. Spending my tax dollars like it's water poring out of a glass, then always asking for more.
