To be honest I had no idea what a Mabe pearl was. The presentation used the usual confusion to show high value (silly) money round pearls at Tuscon (where else?!) to set an expectation of the value of this 18mm button/blister pearl. A few times Dave said that he wouldn't be surprised if people would be multi buying sixes, sevens, eights even tens - and you know what they did. They 'sold out' the majority of the 314 Mabe pearl pendants before the spectacular price was announced. First price was £199 'and I am still not done!'. With the on screen number diminishing the final price £149! Probably a good thing that Ellis had a Tena in. That was the price, and no easy pay. How do you think the customer felt that had just signed up for ten, or any multiple? Of course I could have it wrong and perhaps the customer is delighted with their investment which they will liquidate in due course as they might have access to the vibrant reselling market. Keep an eye on your favourite online auction site. Of course they can call the call centre and modify their order. So the whole stock sold out in the presentation and a couple of minutes later the web site allowed me to put three in my basket and start the check out process - of course it would. So if they had early on given the price then every customer would have made an informed decision. Feels like the usual technique of pressurising the audience to make poor decisions means that they end up not selling the whole stock and generating extra calls to their call centre of customers calling in to amend or perhaps cancel their orders. I suppose that they think they know what they are doing.
As you expected once they loaded the details of the next item being sold, time for more mutton fat!!!, the item was in the Just Missed. Evil sh*ts.
