22:00 Personally I have not seen a Tsavorite over 2 carats. It is one of my favourite stones. Good on you!!!! I always ask for discount when i pay cash..
From my experience, when buy gemstones there at JTC, the price negotiation should start at about 45% of the first offered price. The dealers there will quote the extremely high price at the beginning and slowly reduce to about 50% of the first offered price.
He said there are two types of sellers there, one who price high to negotiate and ones who price reasonable and have a firm price. Not everyone is into haggling and you have to respect the business owner however they chose to sell their products. The dealers KNOW how much their items are worth on the open market, so thinking you can nickel and dime them when the price is more than fair can be insulting and ruin business relationships.
Brother..!! Now thailand have standard world class E-Banking. We not show a lot of "Ancient Money" on internet. For safety please scan here to pay your bill. Thai e-banking or PayPal 🙏
I have to say, thats a crazy good deal already. Especially that size stone and if it is VS or clearer its definitely a steal. I mean you are still buying from a middle man BUT you'd never find one that size, color for that price anywhere in the West!
cool to see you buying a stone, thanks for showing the process
