Ludicrous Prices

[TheManWithNoName]

Your £10 sounds a bargain - pretty, large specimens are keenly priced!

Many of the mineral shows I attend feature sellers who do their own mining. For example, one of my regular go-to sellers, Bulgaria Minerals, mine their own specimens, genuinely cutting out the middleman (and reducing costs to us customers).

Much different to Gemporia's version of "cutting out the middleman," who claim to do just that - but in their next breath, tell us that the three Amigos are heading to trade shows such as Tucson or Hong Kong to purchase from other traders - which is akin to me buying my eggs from Tesco, but telling people I brought them direct from the farm............
