She doesn&#8217;t want it to &#8220;<strong>Influence<\/strong>&#8221; our Deal. She wants to Judge each Jeweler separately based upon their own Prices and then<strong> the Lowest Price Wins!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>(Because of course, Only Price Counts&#8230; Right?)<\/p>\n<p>A lot of people really do think this way and I say <strong>HOG WASH!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><h2>Why Play These Games?<\/h2>\n<p>The Ultimate Goal here is to <strong>Save Money <\/strong>isn&#8217;t it? You want the Best Deal, with the Best Price and Service and Plans, right?<\/p>\n<p>So to get that Deal, you&#8217;ll need to be Forth Right and Honest with what you find on the Market. We want to know what others are Offering you, what our Competition is. I Guarantee that if you said to the Salesperson &#8220;<strong>The Jeweler down the Street is Selling this Stone for $4,650<\/strong>&#8221; then Guess what? More than likely they&#8217;ll Match their Price or Beat that Price!<\/p>\n<p><h2>Jewelers are Very Competitive!<\/h2>\n<p>Just like all Businesses&#8217;. If you were Shopping for Electronics and <strong>Best Buy<\/strong> had a <strong>Blu-Ray Player <\/strong>for $179.99, but Target had that same Blu-Ray Player Advertised for $159, Best Buy would <strong>MATCH<\/strong> that Price! <\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>It&#8217;s the same thing!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jewelers are Competitive and WANT your Business. Plus, who doesn&#8217;t want to take a Sale away from the Competitor? If it means Cutting into our own Profits, then <strong>the Real Winner is YOU! <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><h2>YOU SAVE!<\/h2>\n<p>Telling us this &#8220;<strong>Secret<\/strong>&#8221; Price of theirs just Forces us to Decide whether or Not to Play Ball or let you Shop elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>\nMost of the time you&#8217;ll find it&#8217;s:<\/p>\n<p><h2>Let&#8217;s Make a Deal!<\/h2>\n<p>\n<strong>The Bottom Line is:<\/strong> You want to get the Best Price. <strong>We want a Sale<\/strong>. We can usually Match or Beat that Price&#8230; But only if you tell us.<\/p>\n<p>Holding back only keeps you from getting the Lowest Price that you really want. <strong>Isn&#8217;t that Silly?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Shop and Compare all the Jewelers.

Give it a try the next time you&#8217;re out Shopping for Diamonds. Do realize that you can&#8217;t just Blurt out Prices without Proof&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll need at least a<strong> Business Card<\/strong> from the Competition that has all the Important Facts Written on it. Things like: Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat Weight.
