The New metal Detector Resource Website

[Gregory]

Well now, it looks like the majority of you want to see dealer reviews. This would only be on the condition that the dealer would want listed.
I'm still up in the air on it.

Dealer reviews. I'm not for it.
Seen it on other sites many times. Comments will always lead to posts in need of being deleted. Very easy for a seller (or someone else)to get offended by little less than a positive remark.
Plus, not to mention a headache for Greg.

What makes one person happy won't necessarily be the same reaction from another.

Suggestion. maybe just list what a dealer offers.

Example: 1.Metal Detector Brands
2 Total varieties of detectors offered (30)
3. Is this seller only online or do they have a store front. If so, location and hours.
I love going to the detector shop and listening and sharing their stories and looking at their personal collections.
4. Other items they offer.

You get the idea. Just keep it simple and informative.

Although a list of fraudulent deals and sellers. For example on Ebay, etc. would be okay.
Some coin sites keep a list of sellers that sell fakes or regularly commit fraud. This is very helpful.

But hey majority rules

I've been back & forth on this one but in the end I voted NO. I think there is to much of a Gray Area there for people to play in. If I like a dealer, I give them my bussiness and tell others of my experience with them, If I have a justifiable bad one, I just move on unless it would be something major then I would express my opinion loud and clear. Some folks are very Happy & Loyal to one dealer and thats fine by me. As for myself I try to spread it around as in the case of our Sponsors, I'm always gonna need or think I need some Item and if I like a place I'll be coming back, If I don't like them I just spend my money somewhere else. Pretty much like asking what is the Best brand of detectors, You'll get 100 different opinions from a 100 different people and some where in there some one will be offended and then the bee's nest is all stirred up. Just look at some of the other sites, they are a prime example of how a line can be drawn in the sand over an Opinion. It's a Solid NO for me on this one. Just thought of a Perfect Example. Metal detector News & Reviews. Many people use this site as a gauge toward buying this detector or that detector. Detectors are rated on a 5 star system based on the number of reviews for any certain detector but if you read them you will notice that one person may send in several reviews Neg. or Pos. on the same detector so that does not give you an honest rating. It can be pushed one way or the other. Anyway, I say NO.

Know Im new and if Im stepping out of line I appologize and you can delete my response.
I dont think its a good idea to have review of the dealers.
If you read enough on the different forums you can get a pretty good idea of who it is good to buy from. Many posters, post, giving their experience with the dealer they buy from.
Just my thoughts,
John
