hey guys , not defending sleazy business practices, BUT it is a business. I buy gold off the streets and it is not my fault people pay 5-600% markups on cheap 10k crap. No matter how nice the piece of jewellery is, it has a break up value and if it is not sold within a certain period of time, it gets melted down. If you pay too much you end up losing. Not in business to lose money, I pay a fair price, but a bottom line, is a bottom line
