Crikey!! Is this a nod to Monty Python's parrot? Do I click on "What is this?" 🙃

Gem Collector site is totally bust. No Daily Deals, page links broken and their stock pages don't include any of the recent auction lots that didn't sell 🤷🏻‍♂️
Place is falling apart. I can see that as being a bird on a sled going downhill at speed, with the wind blowing through it's hair (But only if you tilt the computer) :p
 
I thought that too but didn’t know how to describe it without being too graphic
If their photographer was friends with a farmer, they wouldn't need fertilizer to grow crops, all they'd need do is lay printouts from the website onto a field and they'd be able to feed a small country with the resulting crops.
 
Don't give Dave Troth ideas. He'll be coming up with Jadeite designs in certain shapes!
I thought that I'd get a price comparison in first, quick!

May, 2024, hammer price £38...

Does Emily ever start a new hour on time? I always take a glance in at the start of each hour just to see what they're flogging and whether they have any thing new - and Emily always seems to be ridiculously late.

It was almost 15 minutes past the hour one day last week - and she hadn't started the next hour. It's now 10.10pm - and she still hasn't started this hour.

EDIT: Just started. 10.16pm

I think GC's gone completely to pot since Alex left, can't remember when I watched more than a couple of minutes at a time. I wasn't his greatest fan and his long, rambling, irrelevant monologues used to be boring, but Alex knew his stuff about gemstones. Emily just waffles, giggles and is effusive all the time - totally false exuberance, IMO. And as for the prices of bog-standard stones, often dull, included and looking poorly cut, well that's just ridiculous.

Alex could be a bit OTT at times - but he was Gem Collector in my opinion.

He built it up to what it was - and it's gone rapidly downhill since he left.

Another part of Gemporia that is clinging on by a thread.
 
Just had Christmas sales. Nothing was reduced. Well sorry I did see 2 stones that were reduced by £2 yes folks a big bonanza sale and the reduction was £2.
And now theyve got the same stones night after night yet the prices are different.

Yeah I saw a stone a few days ago that went for £2 less than the usual price.

Very generous for the 'biggest sale ever'...............

Offering a 'discount' like that just comes across as though they can't afford to give anything away and is actually a bit insulting to loyal customers that spends hundreds with the channel. Nothing says "thank you for buying from us this year" quite like a whopping £2 discount.

They'd be better off just not discounting it at all.

I liked Alex - but he had 'reached his sell by date' I think. As you say, repetitive stories (many of which were far fetched and, imo, over-exaggerated to make a good story). The same old jokes for years. And I never quite got the whole music quiz on a gemstone channel thing either.

That being said, he was still better than Emily - and as much as I like Jim, he doesn't have the same spark on Gem Collector that he had on Gems TV.

The best presenters that GC had were Nick, Katie Ho and Lara De-Leuw.

Jeff would be PERFECT for Gem Collector.
greed Jeff would be good on GC but would they actually give him anything worth selling at a reasonable price?

Well most of the new stones don't tend to be anything other than overpriced Jasper or Agate.

Jeff wouldn't be able to do it anyway because he had another job during the daytime 😞
