I been checking in on Nike talk from time to time maybe once every 2 weeks and last time I checked on it was yesterday and I saw you guys had this discussion.

Man, all of the jewelers check in this thread. There isn't another place online where these types of discussions are had. This thread is the best source online for heavy jewelry info. Daniel Jewelry is straight up tho, I wouldn't cop a cuban from anyone but them, ever.

That doesnt make sense, because if gold prices

Take a NOSE dive there's only so much he can make

Up by charging more for labor for da exact piece

Of gold buying it in cash vs bringing in bullion.

I would negotiate exactly how much labor, alloy

Weight goes it before i make a deal. You see he's

Coppin & 96-97% so if there's a fixed rate in his labor

Da person with da cheaper gold wins since gold =gold.

 

[eazye 804]

You're not making any deal though. They don't have to negotiate with you about anything. Hypothetically, if you had the cash and a gold bar, which you don't, and argued about all of that, they would tell you to get lost and that would be the end of it. Just take the L and keep it moving, it isn't that big of a deal.

Yea but thats just 1 jeweler. Its no different then

Getting work on a car done, u get a price on da labor

From shoppin around And if you bring your own parts da final quote

Would be ALOT cheaper.

 

[that dude173]

Ninja would make a great attorney, he is very passionate when he is trying to prove a point, even if he is dead wrong at times. Gotta rep da dude just off that.

 

[11wordisbond]

^Yeah but the judge would throw him out of court for constantly using "da" during his argument.

 

[jchambers]

Attorneys actually have to make sense and provide evidence, witness testimonies etc., in order to build his case for a jury or a judge. In this case ,we are the jury, and we're sentencing ninja to 275 years, due to overwhelming evidence that all points to him being the culprit.

He's just the guy behind bars talking about "I'm innocent, man!" at this point .

when I had my 14kt pendant made i took my 24kt gold chain in and had them mix in alloys to make it 14kt.

I had a 63 gram 24kt gold chain, they made into a 95 gram 14kt gold pendant and they bought the left over gold from me but I also had to pay $800 in labor to make the pendant

My new 24kt gold chain should be done next week I'll post pics when i get it

All your saying is that your better off haggling over the price rather than just paying the sticker price.  The jeweler isn't going to give you a better deal cuz you show up with 20k worth of gold instead of 20k in cash.  If you know how much labor costs, you can figure out how much the chain costs to make since the cost of gold is easy to obtain. 

Then you can work out how much profit the jeweler is charging you.  Your in a better bargaining position because you have information not cuz you brought a brick of gold instead of a brick of cash.  If anything your getting a worse deal with the gold cuz the jeweler is only giving you 96-97% of the value of the gold. 

In case you haven't noticed, jewelers want cash not gold.  That is why they sell gold.  They only reason they buy gold is so they can sell it for much cash because their paying you a 3% discount for your gold.

Yeah. Also, David mentioned that you would save around $300 right now, because the gold price went down, but I guarantee you that I could get more than a $300 discount just by paying in cash and haggling a little bit anyways. Cash is king, gold is bling.

You guys will be amazed to know how much jewelers ACTUALLY buy their gold for. They aren't going to pay you what you're asking. If they're not buying bulk for much cheaper, they're buying scraps for DIRT cheap and melting it down.(or just re-selling that jewelry for way more than what they paid)

Jewelers buy their gold at spot plus a small premium or at the price of a forward contract they previously negotiated.  The market for gold is super efficient, nobody is getting a discount on it except maybe big dealer/wholesaler/specialist who charges a spread for providing liquidity.
