Midlands ferret 5 Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 Haven't heard of one but be about time they did bring one out carnt afford to keep paying the prices that they are now Quote Link to post
smithie 2,443 Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 I dont think it will be any cheaper than the old ones as theres no competition to bring the price down. 1 Quote Link to post

Leeview 791 Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 IF he has all the answers why has nt there been any updates on progression not technical details just how its coming along? Quote Link to post
smithie 2,443 Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 Does he have to give updates or can he just crack on and supply a product fit for purpose when it's ready? If you want updates again ask him Quote Link to post
TOMO 26,115 Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 i got the impression les had got the deben ferret finder to market.....rather than copying one or bringing out a new one.... of course i could be wrong Quote Link to post

REply applies to Smithie as well Quote Link to post
Moocher71 4,049 Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 If a new box comes out its going to be expensive bit of kit , mk 3 was expensive but if and when new box comes out its going to be priced like the bellman terrier finder ? Quote Link to post

Few people I have spoken to seem to think the bunny is slowly picking up a touch also Quote Link to post
