Bloody Tanzinite!!

[Price Plunge]

Peter Simon on Bid TV's currently selling...guess what?

Apparently AA Tanzanite's so rare that it hasn't been in clearance before :mysmilie_15:

(Amazingly they had no trouble selling a ring though a bit more trouble selling earrings.)

Now Brash is off on a Tanzanite history....:sleepy: She says "there is hardly any left within the next how many years" :cheeky:

 

[Price Plunge]

There's now "Premium Grade" Tanzanite (not even AA Battery Grade) on Bid TV, and it's "Fragmented Stock", presumably because what's left has been hit with a hammer, breaking it into tiny pieces :tongue:

They managed to sell a pendant very quickly with 95 callers missing out (apparently), and the "big boss" has given permission to include this in clearance, only the second time this has ever happened; the last being several years ago. Allegedly.

Premium grade?

Has the AA all gone now then?

I ran out of AA at work having trouble find some more from another office its all AAA in the cupboard:tongue:

Fragmented Stock = all the old crap that is left knocking around the warehouse

They sold something with AA grade later on (they're not selling Tanzanite currently), but they also sold a bracelet which just had 18 carat's worth of Tanzanite. (Not even "Premium Grade"!)

Next week they could be reduced to selling AA grade Tanzanite Dust, hand-scraped from Mount Kilimanjaro by Andy Hodgson and his less-than-merry band of <del>slaves</del> dwarves :smile:

Wow: tanzanite is so rare and so sought after that Bid can consistently put it in clearance (despite what Peter "The Voice of Reason" Simon says)?

That's such a neat trick, but then maybe people will only want the bigger stones once the mine finally closes (in 3,000 year's time). Not the smaller, point-sized ones that Bid are doing in their clusters?

I'm with the RAC so use them if you run out of the AA :tongue:

Guess what Peter is selling at a clearance price tonight?

 

[Greg]

They look bloody tiny. The tanzanite pieces - not his crown jewels, lol.

 

[Paul_s]

they just can't help themselves!

 

[steveh31]

Peter said at the beginning that this is the last of the stuff they have left over from last year and that's why it's in clearance.... let's see how many more months they keep that line going.

These will be all the returns from December then? haha!

 

[HoodedClaw]

Check your purchases then: all that gold "finish" has probably been rubbed off by the previous buyer :tongue:

 

[loubylou]

does amaze me for something that is supposedly running out there's bloody loads of it!

Just seen a silver pendant this morning although there were only 10 of them, which hopefully means they're dwindling
