Scott Worsfold has just been so patronising today, pushing and pushing the fact that GemsTV still do genuine falling price auctions. I have been tweeting today about it.

Unless you keep dropping the price till it reaches £1.00 then IMO it is not a falling price auction FACT (he used the word fact a lot)

He acts as if he is the channel owner with prices, when I am sured the producer would do the same. One lowest price was lower by 1p, that is only because of the stupid 99p.

ADULTS BUY JEWELLERY SCOTT, TREAT US LIKE ADULTS NOT CHILDREN. or even better leave and let a decent presenter do the job.
 
With the changes that came in yesterday how on earth can they still say the have "genuine falling price auctions"?

As for Scott, never been a fan.
 
What can you expect from the love child of Uncle Fester and Mister Magoo?

He has zero integrity as he proved on the day of the so-called 'historic auctions' of the 500 bracelets and 200 necklaces, when he endlessly, and I do mean endlessly, kept wittering on about the prices of multi-gem bracelets and necklaces printed off from the internet. These were single items being sold by American sellers, therefore, of absolutely no relevance whatsoever, and completely misleading and inaccurate.

Yet again, I would direct the Bennetts and their staff to a dictionary, where they can look up the words genuine, falling, auction, lowest, rare, phenomenal, amazing, awesome, rare, integrity, and a new one which seems particularly valid now, vanity.

Hold on tight, tomorrow at 10.30am they have 565 multi gem bracelets and I think it's him doing the auction :(
 
This morning he said that if we still don't believe they are falling auctions "then quite frankly you're not listening". Yes, because we can hardly ever have the sound on. How rude and arrogant can he get before his bosses censor him? Seems like "tomorrow the world" must be infectious. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Even though I'm currently housebound, I think I'm going to be out or washing my hair perhaps. xxxxxxxxxxxxx

What is the point of doing such a high number when they can pull it at any time? :rolleyes:

In a genuine falling price auction, the auctionees dictate the price, not the auctioneers. All pieces would be auctioned, and nothing would be pulled unless the auctionees decide that they are not interested in a piece at any price. "Auctions" would not be prolonged as the price would keep dropping until the quantity sold, even if the end price was £1.
So, in terms of semantics, yes, Gems operate a form of falling price sales, but they are in no way operating true falling price auctions.
Perhaps next time Scott polishes his pate, he could polish the dust off the nearest dictionary and learn the meaning of the words he uses incorrectly and misleadingly, and the same goes for the rest of the team who endlessly spout such inaccuracies.
 
These vast quantity sales make me worry about possible sweatshops. What extremely tedious work, churning out hundreds and hundreds of exactly the same piece and, most likely, under pressure to meet delivery targets. xxxxxxxxxxx

I happened to catch a few minutes of Gems this morning and couldn't believe my ears when I heard Scott (we do have a nickname for him in our house but this is not the correct platform for such terminology!) was going on ad nauseum about their "gram for gram gold weight comparison research"!

This time he was wittering on, in a most condescending manner I must say, about buying 3 gold bands in Birmingham and that this "research" worked out at (I think) £54 per gram. He was presenting a "Gold under £20" hour so one would think he was citing this fabulously objective research to focus our minds for the plethora of bargains on which we were about to feast our eyes. Not so! The very next item was what was described as a belcher chain (it was a very flimsy 0.28g and resembled a thin trace chain imho) and much ado was made of the fact it was selling for £19.99. Now, I would have thought that, given their "gram for gram" hoohaa, shouldn't it have undercut the High Street instead of selling at a price £4.87 higher? Or am I missing something??
 
I'm just sorry that panto season doesn't last all year...

Luckily the cat needs deworming again, so I'll have to give the mega-multi-gem auction a miss this morning...

I happened to switch the TV on and was flicking through channels and say the auction was about to start so I left it on.

Twenty five minutes the auction took!!! :sleepy:

They even said there was 9-10 minute wait on the phone lines, not good when it is a call you have to pay for!
 
Sad to say I was unable to watch it as I had to wash Argey's hair and help Jinnyjamjar deworm her cat...

A little paraphrasing of a song comes to mind:

Gimmick, gimmick, gimmick A Man After Midnight
won't somebody help me chase these auctions away.
Gimmick, gimmick, gimmick a man after midnight
Take me to the lowest price, and even then I won't pay
There's not a jewel out there I'd buy with 50 grand spare
Oh! Gimmick, gimmick, gimmick, a man after midnight
But please don't make it Tintin or Uncle Fester I pray
Gimmick, gimmick, gimmick a man after midnight,
Alan's the only one who could lead me astray
I used to buy from Gems
But the gold weight was very low in....grems...
oh! gimmick, gimmick, gimmick a man after midnight
And not those screeching banshees who do my head in
gimmick, gimmick, gimmick, a man after midnight
One of those banshees is wed to Tintin
Even if it's a "bonkers" price
Unlike Argey I'm able to think twice
Oh! gimmick, gimmick, gimmick a man after midnight
my London blue topaz I'm buying elsewhere
gimmick, gimmick, gimmick a man after midnight
I'll have to pass on tanzanite even though it's so rare.
And yet you're knee deep in it,
You must think I'm a twit
Oh! gimmick, gimmick, gimmick a man after midnight
It could have been so right, yet it went so far wrong
gimmick, gimmick, gimmick a man after midnight
No more will I hear Carol attempt to burst into song
All that repetitive flannel
Quite frankly made me change channel
Oh! gimmick, gimmick, gimmick a man after midnight
I can't bear such nonsense, it makes me quite ill
gimmick, gimmick, gimmick a man after midnight
They sound like noisy budgies in need of some Trill
All things must pass they say
My custom no longer goes your way
Oh! gimmick, gimmick, gimmick a man after midnight
oh my word, flippin' 'eck
I'm rockin' out now
gimmick, gimmick, gimmick a man after midnight
So let me just leave you with a "phenomenal" ciao.
 
Yep - today's Gems programming is bought to you by Iclaudipuss, with the help of ABBA - Another Bloody Boring Auction...

:up::mysmilie_859:Bravo, iclaudipuss!

Unfortunately I didn't catch this one because my sister's pet peacock laid an egg yesterday and I had to help. Judging by the comments here, it doesn't look like I've missed much.

Oh dear! I do hope it wasn't breach or that you had to use ropes like they do in the vet programmes. Is the father still around, if so I'll bet he's proud and handing round the cigars as we "speak" <a href="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fwww.smileycentral.com%252F%253Fpartner%253DZSzeb008%255FZNxpt484YYGB%2526i%253D16%252F16%255F8%255F103%2526feat%253Dprof/page.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/16/16_8_103.gif" alt="SmileyCentral.com" border="0"><img border="0" src="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fimgfarm%252Ecom%252Fimages%252Fnocache%252Ftr%252Ffw%252Fsmiley%252Fsocial%252Egif%253Fi%253D16%252F16_8_103%2526uiv%253D3.0/image.gif"></a> xxxxxxxxxxxx
