I have had bad experience as well and have experienced the overpriced items as well I would never buy from her after talking with one of his live chat people. 😔 wanted crazy amount for 10k 2mm franco chain 1000 dollars for a chains that only had 3 grams of gold
Build relationships and pay your bills and you'll likely get a better price. If you don't believe the item is (worth it to you then) DON'T Purchase it.
@@cesarquintana9366 you’ll get better deals on everything in Oklahoma Vs NYC. That’s just common sense. If you moved your store to NYC, could you afford to give the same deals you are now?
It's true my jeweler gives me really good prices because I buy from him pretty often, right now he is giving me gold at $30 per gram (10k)some places are doing around $50 per gram (10k) at other places I've been to and they offer very little room to work with you on their price.
I think the main takeaway is, that you're in an open market regardless, so as long as they can still turn a profit, or at the very least break even, there is room to negotiate, and you still get what is the equivalent to a name brand quality. But what a lot of people forget is, doing business in the heart of New York is a brutal task. When you consider the amount of overhead you would actually need to bypass taxation, as well as payment on the land, the fact they even are willing to discuss price is a sign of a high quality business trying to provide a great customer service experience, despite their own needs on the business end. That's called networking, and it draws in repeat business, I think he has an excellent model.
Love how people talk about overhead that is created by business owners plenty of people can create ridiculous overhead and pass on to consumer doesn't make it a fair deal basically saying let me hire a 100 people overpay them and pass the cost of it to you. Its business 101 2/3rds I believe in retail if I remember correctly i.e. cost $20 charge $60 with adjustments at higher values I think the problem is when you say your fair, and transparent and have great deals all the time but go to your site and its not the truth.

Been watching your videos on Facebook for a while now love the content! One thing is for sure after this cancer shit im doing business with you. It may be a small 100 dollar piece but im putting into existence im beating this thing and getting a traxnyc product!
I have mad respect for you bro. Like how I said once I visit New York I’ll be stopping by to buy a piece from you. We need more people like you that are straight up!
Just ordered a 6mm 14kt 24in 62grams diamond cut rope from Hawaii rope chains for $3065 . Trax wanted $5100 for the same piece and wouldn’t even work with me when I checked with them ! They are way overpriced! You got a good deal on that 7mm , I paid $5200 last April from Direct Source Gold and Diamond for the same chain 26 inch. It’s a beast!
Yessahh.. Hawaii Rope Chains is probably the best prices out there.. just got a 4mm 22inch 14k diamond cut rope chain 30grams for around 1550 free shipping. Gonna get a prism rope chain from him next. 🤙🤙
Trax is way over priced. They mark up most of there items 100%. I go to the diamond district and pay 45 a gram for 14k. Look up a Trax piece and I guarantee if it's 10 grams of 14k, it's at least $900 to $1000 but I promise you I pay $45 a gram in May of 2022 and would spend $450 on the same 10 grams. That being said, if you go to the diamond distract and don't know what's up, they'll charge you up the same way. Learn the value of jewelry before you start spending bands on it
I looked at the spot price for 14k gold and was like wtf 😂. The jewlery industry is a scam and full of rude people that pray on folks who do t know what’s up.
It’s true but like he says you can add to cart put it on layaway or try to negotiate a lower price. Most people obviously don’t know nothing and don’t even try to negotiate a better price. They just see the bling and need the ring.
Agreed 1000 % ! I looked into trax and they are waaaaay overpriced! I was on their site chatting with an employee looking for a 6mm 14kt (solid) 24in diamond cut rope and they wanted $5100 for it. I told them that I can get this chain for $3065 and they said I should take the deal. They wouldn’t even come down on their prices and match that price. I figured I’d give them a shot cuz I’ve heard some good things about them but now that I’ve looked into them I’m very disappointed. I don’t like this guy the more I watch him in the video, he seems slimy. I just can’t believe how high their prices are. I could buy a 7mm 14kt (solid) 26in diamond cut rope for the price of the 6mm they are asking for , I know because I bought one last year .
Love it brother! Tell ‘em. Hate when people Try to minimize your work. But they would be the first to raise hell if their boss told them they have to take a pay cut on their check. This would has gotten ridiculous.
Mad respect for letting the viewers know about this; a lot of people don’t know about bargaining, especially with online purchases; maybe I’ll try to buy that 18K Cuban link I had my eyes on
Hold on a minute... Let's get this straight, A viewer has stated you're overpriced. You show a Super Mario Bomb Pendant at $3320, reduced to $3070, but if you call or go online you can save another $400 just by asking. So the price your stating, is actually not the price at all.. But underneath this prce it states " €2,579.00, $2,993.25 Bank Wire and $7200 retail.."... You state you get the "Raw Materials, diamonds, gold, put it together" So your the manufacture and retailer. Yet you state $7200 retail, that's actually illegal, as the price was never $7200, yet your making believe that at $3320, the costumer is getting a deal.. If the Pendant was never first priced at $7200, you cannot then claim the price originally was $7200, thats deception, fraud and against the law. You state you stand by everything you say and your not overpriced, as there is no price, that's a sham if ever I've heard it.. The diamonds are also not gia certified. Is the 13.4g total weight of the pendant or weight in gold? if the latter, 14ct white gold is 58.3% pure gold, which is 7.81g. Gold is $59.92 per gram, so total gold value is $467.97, yet you state Retail is $7200. If your items are highly priced, due to location, the amount you pay your staff etc that's fine, but don't state your not, " as there isn't any price" when you are.
I've grown to watch Trax over the last 12 months and gained a lot of respect for him, but unfortunately, there aint no fly's on me and I state it as it is and that's why I've gown to like him, I did believe he was the same...☹️
All jewelry is over priced.. It's called a premium and part of that is craftmanship and other people making a profit. As long as the quality is good and it's solid and the premium isn't too insane. It is what it is.
No, not over priced at all in my opinion , Id rather pay a little more knowing I’m getting a quality product . I’ve purchased a dozen or so different items from Trax , and have never been disappointed.
Hey I have bought a couple huge pieces from him and have nothing bad to say at all. They were beautiful. Let’s all be honest though, New York and especially the Diamond District is an expensive area. You’ll find some beautiful pieces out there.. but prices, not so much.
You’re A guru whoever says otherwise doesn’t know anything about business the need to stay in there lane you’re a master a teacher and A Ivón keep it brother much bless
Trax my guy I buy my jewellery from you and I'm in the UK I even happily pay that import charge just to get that top notch beautiful pieces you guys make. Love brother
Compared to Daniels Jewelers in Miami, yes. I bought a cuban bracelet from Trax and then I bought one from Daniel's. Better quality and more gold for the price. Also someone charged fraudulently to my credit card. Paul Choi.
That’s right trax!!! I haven’t bought anything from you yet bc I like to do my business personally but so far from all the jewelry stores I’ve got to I ALWAYS bargain cause that’s how business is done…. Now i will be buying from you soon since I’ve seen that you can bargain easily at your online shop… what an era we live in….
Simple as this you go to NYC to the DIAMOND district a street where prices are crazy high because demand from items from there is crazy high and production numbers lower that plus high rent and costs will run the bill up on top of you paying extra because he is a CELEBRITY JEWLER u can hit up hibibi in the mall and get it for 150 just won’t be from thrax
I mean it’s rough bro put urself in his shoes, you’d want as much as you can get too but it’s a balance you need to keep between customer satisfaction and profit.
Not even dude has way better prices then local jewelers here in Las Vegas especially on diamonds. I contacted them on live support and after speaking with them I got impatient and about a set of diamond earrings local and I personally feel ripped off because I could have gotten a better pair of diamonds from Trax he has better quality diamonds at a better price
I'm about to buy some 24k gold from yall. Just checking if I can find some gold bullion for cheaper. I'm sure it will be since you gotta pay the employees, that's probably why I'll buy from you, support the people and get some nice castings from it. I saw that video where you poured them and saw some on your chains I knew I need some.
Not saying it is what it is, but you're the boss, messaging your employee for the best price on the item. Just, putting it out there. I'd like to see a real transaction history where someone got $400 off a 3k piece just for asking.
I just got $800 off by using that same live chat strategy. $800 off a $3000 ticket. typical profit margin in jewelry is about 50%... give him about 20% margin and im sure they will say yes unless its a high churn item where they don't need to bargain with people. If Trax can get $600 profit after COGS by just invoicing me then they gladly will. Speed for margin isn't bad. This is the same with ANY business that isn't franchised. You can bargain anywhere. Just be fair and understand they have profit margins that need to be met.
13.4 grams of gold… gold is 54$ a gram today. $723 which is the really the only valuable material in that pendant, you take that same pendant to pawn and they pay you for hold
Wages went up, finding the right staff, rent, costs in general are up, is he supposed to carry those costs on his own!! He'd be out of business in no time. I know what being nice and taking on the hit of increase in prices can do, it is taken from my kids,my wife, and everyone who knew me. It's less income for my family and less benefit to people around me. I nearly lost a business for doing that, but thank god I learnt and still learning.
@traxnyc the problem is there is 0 bargain culture in America. I come from an immigrant family although I was born in America. I'm ALWAYS bargaining in Manhattan and I almost always get at least 20% off. The problem is people don't realize you can do business with ANY business.
Seeing how he showed off every working employee sector for his business made me think its not that bad for the price. Everyones working together for a piece of jewelry and not slacking off in some shady cellar underground
I’ve bn watching for Quite some time I’ve been watching from a distance learning a lot from your channel And I am really considering going down to your store to making my first purchase from you guys you’re the best
I know you have to be joking right? This guy is a con artist! They just tried ripping me off for $2000 on a 6mm 14kt 24in (solid) diamond cut rope. They wanted $5100 and I got it from Hawaii rope chains for $3065 out the door (no tax + free 2 day fed ex) . They overmark their prices 1000% and people fall for it. Even if they come down a little they are still screwing the customer into believing they got “a deal” . I would stay far far away from this man and trax. This shit is illegal what they are doing and they’re getting away with it
The only way to get a better price 8s to find a blacksmith which you can get via a jewelry or pawnshop, but the problem you have there is taking the risk like max says and not knowing truly if the materials making your item is actually 100 ledgit. I would rather give my $$ to trax knowing their hustling and earning it.
They just took $400 off from a ring because I used live chat. Their Si1 G color is better then these other jewelers “VS”. Will be doing business again.
Material cost to make this pendant is around 1400 or so for gold and SI diamonds given the specs on the website…..probably even less since he does his own casting , stone setting and polishing.
Those diamonds are NOT GRADEABLE by ANY accredited Gemologists...THEY ARE ABOUT $10 A POP..they only sparkle when they are set close to one another..it's an illusion...4 carats comprised of 50 diamonds is worthless..
@@stavroslask1292 of course they aren’t able to be graded. They are probably low quality melee diamonds sourced from China. The jewlery industry is built on lies. They hold the secrets so tight to there chest and don’t let anyone in. I should spill all the secrets.
@@orunmila8861 my Armenian neighbor has been a diamond setter in Manhattan since he arrived to America 46 years ago...I've seen many of the "secrets"..most small diamonds are now lab created in India and china.. my wife's GIA certified 1.5 Carat round cut XXX D color VS 7 years ago at wholesale through my neighbor cost me $9,500 for the stone....the end result anywhere is about 15K back then...it's almost a 80% mark up..these guys make money no matter what they say..they've been in business for years for a reason...GIA is thr only way to go for stones .75 and up..trust NO ONE else
Wow brother how can anyone not respect what you have built that person that comments like that pretending to have even been in your store when they probably can’t afford to park in the diamond district you built a legacy for many generations to come great work
Great fan of your designs bro, you are the brand and brands have some extra value, keep it up, love and respect from me.. (But i am sad that i have not able to buy anything from you due to lack of money, but sure i will own at least a simple ring one day)
I rock with trax heavy and as of today i've copped. 5 chains, 4 ropes that i gave away to family members because the first one crinkled and they were nothing i could sleep in, a cuban that isnt flat and crinkle so i cant wear that daily, two diamond crosses that i gave away to female family members because they were too small, a gold cross that gave away and a Bracelet that i LOVE. If i had to do it all over again i would have saved up the money and copped something thicker with better craftsmanship.
Defiantly overpriced.. I go straight to Miami to purchase all of my jewerly. I’m not paying the up charge for having the jewelry made in NYC. Big negativo buddy !
Waaaaay overpriced!! I would never buy anything from him. He is a shister. I was on the live chat a couple weeks ago looking at a 6mm 14kt 24in (solid) diamond cut rope and they wanted $5100 for it! I could have bought a 7mm 14kt 26in for that price (I know cuz I did last year and Hawaii rope chains has it for $5200). I told them I could get the 6mm for $3065 out the door elsewhere (Hawaii rope chains) and they told me I should take the deal. They never even tried working with me on price to make a sale. They overmark their prices 1000% and people are dumb enough to fall for it. Even is they come down a little they try and make you think you’re getting a deal which in fact you’re still getting screwed. And my thing is, why would you have to make a video about people complaining that your prices are too high defending yourself? He wouldn’t have to do that if he was running an honest business. I’ve got some big ropes and I’ve bought them all from Direct Source Gold and Diamond and Hawaii rope chains. Hawaii rope chains is the best deal I’ve ever found, I just wish I would have known about them earlier
This guy is not legit! He overprices his items then comes down a little (if your lucky) and makes you believe you got a deal then you get fu**ed in the ass. Shop around and you will find a good deal out there. If you’re looking for ropes I would highly recommend that you look into Hawaii rope chains. You will save thousands. I did. And the guy is legit . No tax and free 2 day fed ex shipping. I hope this helps - I don’t know if he does diamonds though but may be able to order them
Its not overpriced i just got started in jewelry business myself, just to bring any gold jewelry into the country ur hit with 8.5% duty and 5%gst plus u have other expenses all those things factor in
Lol why are you bringing gold jewlery into the country 🤔. I can go to a faster and make that piece for under $500 and get my own stones to put into it. I can make this same pendant for around $1400
I believe yall are doing great, and I like the business idea! Though honestly handmade in America isn't what I want to extra for. Unless, however, the gold was physically harvested from US soil. Then it's truly American, and I'll gladly pay extra.
Watching in the uk top man great business You pay for quality in service and this is exactly what you get . hoping to do business soon I need to get a Hampton ring
new york city is a tough place i know cause i lived and work there if you are on 47st looking for any kind of jewelry trax is the only place to go best price best product end of story ❤
I have an old lady that’s been my gold dealer for 30 years out of her room in her house made into a showroom all the cops do business with her she is good. But you will not find no one that will sell you jewelry spot price they can’t the labor and all that crap needs to be paid. Now days with all this bullshit inflation gold has gone up. I have never been able to buy spot price on just plain gold they have to make there money somewhere. If you buy large then maybe but you will have to buy right from the dam mine
Of course their gonna ask for the money you have to be the one knowing what you wanna pay and work something out, I negotiated a custom ring down to what I thought was fair
Based on the video, those prices are for someone who has more money than they care, so they just buy the piece and trax gets a higher margin. The live chat dropped the price $400 within a few minutes. You could probably say they had that open and went to Carlos when they saw it was him to tell him to lower it for the vid. But try it yourself

Hold on a minute... Let's get this straight, A viewer has stated you're overpriced. You show a Super Mario Bomb Pendant at $3320, reduced to $3070, but if you call or go online you can save another $400 just by asking. So the price your stating, is actually not the price at all..
But underneath this prce it states " €2,579.00, $2,993.25 Bank Wire and $7200 retail.."... You state you get the "Raw Materials, diamonds, gold, put it together" So your the manufacture and retailer. Yet you state $7200 retail, that's actually illegal, as the price was never $7200, yet your making believe that at $3320, the costumer is getting a deal.. If the Pendant was never first priced at $7200, you cannot then claim the price originally was $7200, thats deception, fraud and against the law. You state you stand by everything you say and your not overpriced, as there is no price, that's a sham if ever I've heard it.. The diamonds are also not gia certified. Is the 13.4g total weight of the pendant or weight in gold? if the latter, 14ct white gold is 58.3% pure gold, which is 7.81g. Gold is $59.92 per gram, so total gold value is $467.97, yet you state Retail is $7200. If your items are highly priced, due to location, the amount you pay your staff etc that's fine, but don't state your not, " as there isn't any price" when you are.
I've grown to watch Trax over the last 12 months and gained a lot of respect for him, but unfortunately, there aint no fly's on me and I state it as it is and that's why I've gown to like him, I did believe he was the same...☹️
Lol long comment but I agree 💯
Finally someone who sees through this guy's bs
this breakdown just cut through all the bullshit. yeah it's a business but that doesnt mean you gotta let yourself get finessed
I Brought 3 Items at separate times. The last purchase, I attempted to live chat a deal & the Guy flat out said No lol.
All jewelry is over priced.. It's called a premium and part of that is craftmanship and other people making a profit.
As long as the quality is good and it's solid and the premium isn't too insane. It is what it is.
I spoke with one of your team members and ended up getting a good discount just by sending my offer. This man is legit no cap
This man is legit because He respond to all the ppl who criticize his business !!
It's really nice to see someone like you in a good business❤❤❤
No, not over priced at all in my opinion ,
Id rather pay a little more knowing I’m getting a quality product . I’ve purchased a dozen or so different items from Trax , and have never been disappointed.
Why waste money on jewelery
@@ThatSB because it’s his money little boy, didn’t your mommy ever tell you not to ask a another grown man about his money?
@@an0970 Perfectly stated. He's another basement mommy's buy.
@@an0970 wolf of Wall Street
@@an0970 you got played 😂😂
I love how much of a hard worker you are bro
Banger I love how max always addresses the issues or problems he’s not running from no comments 💯 best jeweler I’m the game
Hey I have bought a couple huge pieces from him and have nothing bad to say at all. They were beautiful.
Let’s all be honest though, New York and especially the Diamond District is an expensive area. You’ll find some beautiful pieces out there.. but prices, not so much.
This video makes me really respect you're business and in the very near future I will be a loyal customer for my investment and pieces
You’re A guru whoever says otherwise doesn’t know anything about business the need to stay in there lane you’re a master a teacher and A Ivón keep it brother much bless
You one of those dumb customers huh 😂
Ain't no feeling like a real Trax around your neck.
Love mine, Thank y'all so much.
Blessings to all eyes reading this.
Look at that over head new York city rent on top of that. Proud of you man just found you few months ago
Trax my guy I buy my jewellery from you and I'm in the UK I even happily pay that import charge just to get that top notch beautiful pieces you guys make. Love brother
I mean it is actually top notch because it isnt certified
Definitely love the last supper pendant and chain I just bought. Can't wait. Will be my very first piece ever made specifically for me
Nyce my fav the Medusa too cute n the skull set
Compared to Daniels Jewelers in Miami, yes. I bought a cuban bracelet from Trax and then I bought one from Daniel's. Better quality and more gold for the price. Also someone charged fraudulently to my credit card. Paul Choi.
Which one has the better deal and better quality?
They said it only cost 40,000 to make the Medusa head and you charge flossy 100,000
Hey could you do a back to basics video. Explaining the language the industry uses? Hollow, solid ect., common acronyms.
And thank you so much for all the content, I’m inspired to purchase my first piece from your establishment.
TraxNYC IS NOT overpriced, never has been and never will be
I agree 💯
It’s actually severely overpriced
got 2 diamond pendants and the prices are great not to mention layaway option with the 10% matching 👌
Bro ur business is popping man well done man big achievement
Pull up that tray real fast, thats a boss talk 👏🏻
I got the Trax Cuban ring white gold d/c asked for a better price and they gave it right away, paid instantly! Highly recommend trax nyc!
That’s right trax!!! I haven’t bought anything from you yet bc I like to do my business personally but so far from all the jewelry stores I’ve got to I ALWAYS bargain cause that’s how business is done…. Now i will be buying from you soon since I’ve seen that you can bargain easily at your online shop… what an era we live in….
that red chain you’re wearing is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Traxnyc, you guys are honestly great 👍🏼
Excellent video. Thanks Carlos 😊
Simple as this you go to NYC to the DIAMOND district a street where prices are crazy high because demand from items from there is crazy high and production numbers lower that plus high rent and costs will run the bill up on top of you paying extra because he is a CELEBRITY JEWLER u can hit up hibibi in the mall and get it for 150 just won’t be from thrax
So basically it’s overpriced until you bargain 😂
Pretty much lol
It's overpriced. He was cheap years ago. 10 and 14k is half gold yet he computes full gold gram price ➕️ the overhead fluffy extras.
RIGHT, 😂🤣, AND THAT'S HOW IT WORKS WITH EVERY PIECE, THEY LIVE OFF OF THEIR CUT!
I mean it’s rough bro put urself in his shoes, you’d want as much as you can get too but it’s a balance you need to keep between customer satisfaction and profit.
Not even dude has way better prices then local jewelers here in Las Vegas especially on diamonds. I contacted them on live support and after speaking with them I got impatient and about a set of diamond earrings local and I personally feel ripped off because I could have gotten a better pair of diamonds from Trax he has better quality diamonds at a better price
I'm about to buy some 24k gold from yall. Just checking if I can find some gold bullion for cheaper. I'm sure it will be since you gotta pay the employees, that's probably why I'll buy from you, support the people and get some nice castings from it. I saw that video where you poured them and saw some on your chains I knew I need some.
Not saying it is what it is, but you're the boss, messaging your employee for the best price on the item. Just, putting it out there. I'd like to see a real transaction history where someone got $400 off a 3k piece just for asking.
I just got $800 off by using that same live chat strategy. $800 off a $3000 ticket.
typical profit margin in jewelry is about 50%... give him about 20% margin and im sure they will say yes unless its a high churn item where they don't need to bargain with people. If Trax can get $600 profit after COGS by just invoicing me then they gladly will. Speed for margin isn't bad.
This is the same with ANY business that isn't franchised. You can bargain anywhere. Just be fair and understand they have profit margins that need to be met.
In the subreddit of Gold people have said when they but from Trax you can negotiate. Someone claimed buying a $725 ring for $495.
Did you just interrupt a customer with staff to pull some jewelry out of the cabinet for a video?
13.4 grams of gold… gold is 54$ a gram today. $723 which is the really the only valuable material in that pendant, you take that same pendant to pawn and they pay you for hold
I like how you always prove your point lol
He is over priced. I bought a $1,700 silver Jesus Piece a while back and I was 2300 last I checked silver hasn't gone up that much
Wages went up, finding the right staff, rent, costs in general are up, is he supposed to carry those costs on his own!! He'd be out of business in no time. I know what being nice and taking on the hit of increase in prices can do, it is taken from my kids,my wife, and everyone who knew me. It's less income for my family and less benefit to people around me. I nearly lost a business for doing that, but thank god I learnt and still learning.
my man got the raw paper wit the bud on table LOL good business & weed ! i see u trax!!
Thats a real businessman there is no price just business.
Respect that business mentality.
He done convinced yall that he's not overpriced in the comments 🤣 yall must be new to this jewelry shit
@traxnyc the problem is there is 0 bargain culture in America. I come from an immigrant family although I was born in America. I'm ALWAYS bargaining in Manhattan and I almost always get at least 20% off. The problem is people don't realize you can do business with ANY business.
Seeing how he showed off every working employee sector for his business made me think its not that bad for the price. Everyones working together for a piece of jewelry and not slacking off in some shady cellar underground
Great service and will always think of you for all my jewelry needs
I’ve bn watching for Quite some time I’ve been watching from a distance learning a lot from your channel And I am really considering going down to your store to making my first purchase from you guys you’re the best
You can’t purely compare price. It’s about karat and kraftsmanship and whether they stand behind it if you need service
trax is such a great mentor!
I know you have to be joking right? This guy is a con artist! They just tried ripping me off for $2000 on a 6mm 14kt 24in (solid) diamond cut rope. They wanted $5100 and I got it from Hawaii rope chains for $3065 out the door (no tax + free 2 day fed ex) . They overmark their prices 1000% and people fall for it. Even if they come down a little they are still screwing the customer into believing they got “a deal” . I would stay far far away from this man and trax. This shit is illegal what they are doing and they’re getting away with it
I am still wearing my MICRO pave diamond earring's
(CANARY YELLOW/ BLACK)
Going on 5+ year's!
FLAWLESS! 💕💕💕💕🗿👍
Black diamonds are the best for me
@@josefigueroa3930 For Sure 🏊💦💨🔥
The only way to get a better price 8s to find a blacksmith which you can get via a jewelry or pawnshop, but the problem you have there is taking the risk like max says and not knowing truly if the materials making your item is actually 100 ledgit. I would rather give my $$ to trax knowing their hustling and earning it.
Trax handle that very well and professionally!!! 😎👍🏼
They just took $400 off from a ring because I used live chat. Their Si1 G color is better then these other jewelers “VS”. Will be doing business again.
Material cost to make this pendant is around 1400 or so for gold and SI diamonds given the specs on the website…..probably even less since he does his own casting , stone setting and polishing.
Those diamonds are NOT GRADEABLE by ANY accredited Gemologists...THEY ARE ABOUT $10 A POP..they only sparkle when they are set close to one another..it's an illusion...4 carats comprised of 50 diamonds is worthless..
@@stavroslask1292 of course they aren’t able to be graded. They are probably low quality melee diamonds sourced from China. The jewlery industry is built on lies. They hold the secrets so tight to there chest and don’t let anyone in. I should spill all the secrets.
@@orunmila8861 my Armenian neighbor has been a diamond setter in Manhattan since he arrived to America 46 years ago...I've seen many of the "secrets"..most small diamonds are now lab created in India and china.. my wife's GIA certified 1.5 Carat round cut XXX D color VS 7 years ago at wholesale through my neighbor cost me $9,500 for the stone....the end result anywhere is about 15K back then...it's almost a 80% mark up..these guys make money no matter what they say..they've been in business for years for a reason...GIA is thr only way to go for stones .75 and up..trust NO ONE else
shit sounds lit. i'm not into jewelry but this sounds like a legit business.
I myself thought the prices on the website was Inflated as well 😅
Dudeee!! Most back fire video I've ever saw. Lmao
Wow brother how can anyone not respect what you have built that person that comments like that pretending to have even been in your store when they probably can’t afford to park in the diamond district you built a legacy for many generations to come great work
This place is great . The staff is awesome there . I have never had any complaints myself better deals if you are in person .
TraxNYC deserved all prices because their design is great and refine! Value for money! High end refine jewellery
Im not gonna lie this was THE BEST RESPONSE TO A HATER IVE EVER SEEN. Amazing
YOU ARE A TOP MAN !!!! Wish you were in London
Great fan of your designs bro, you are the brand and brands have some extra value, keep it up, love and respect from me..
(But i am sad that i have not able to buy anything from you due to lack of money, but sure i will own at least a simple ring one day)
I rock with trax heavy and as of today i've copped.
5 chains, 4 ropes that i gave away to family members
because the first one crinkled and they were nothing i could
sleep in, a cuban that isnt flat and crinkle so i cant wear that daily,
two diamond crosses that i gave away to female family members
because they were too small, a gold cross that gave away and a
Bracelet that i LOVE.
If i had to do it all over again i would have saved up
the money and copped something thicker with
better craftsmanship.
bravo
I would work for you. Never watched a video of yours that would make me think otherwise. Legit.
Can’t get any more straight than that. People don’t know how to ask. They see they assume and they judge. Keep it up homie
im a jeweler and thats a great price!!! Wholesale deal.
thats a great video. short sharp to the point and clear!
Trax a legend for killing the haters wish I had enough for the Mario bomb pendent it's cold 🥶 remember seeing that online last year
This needs to be a sound starting at the 3:22 mark. Ronald He ain't messing around. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Once again. Thank you Max and the trax team.
I love your videos and I can't wait till I can purchase something off your site.
Defiantly overpriced.. I go straight to Miami to purchase all of my jewerly. I’m not paying the up charge for having the jewelry made in NYC. Big negativo buddy !
Waaaaay overpriced!! I would never buy anything from him. He is a shister. I was on the live chat a couple weeks ago looking at a 6mm 14kt 24in (solid) diamond cut rope and they wanted $5100 for it! I could have bought a 7mm 14kt 26in for that price (I know cuz I did last year and Hawaii rope chains has it for $5200). I told them I could get the 6mm for $3065 out the door elsewhere (Hawaii rope chains) and they told me I should take the deal. They never even tried working with me on price to make a sale. They overmark their prices 1000% and people are dumb enough to fall for it. Even is they come down a little they try and make you think you’re getting a deal which in fact you’re still getting screwed. And my thing is, why would you have to make a video about people complaining that your prices are too high defending yourself? He wouldn’t have to do that if he was running an honest business. I’ve got some big ropes and I’ve bought them all from Direct Source Gold and Diamond and Hawaii rope chains. Hawaii rope chains is the best deal I’ve ever found, I just wish I would have known about them earlier
The only honest jewelry store in the country.
Love your company and looking forward to my 10 buy from you soon.
Im broke but I fuck with the energy in your videos lol
I like this guy. When I can ball out one day I’m going to use him, I want to buy some raw diamonds for my anniversary ring. This guy is legit imo
This guy is not legit! He overprices his items then comes down a little (if your lucky) and makes you believe you got a deal then you get fu**ed in the ass. Shop around and you will find a good deal out there. If you’re looking for ropes I would highly recommend that you look into Hawaii rope chains. You will save thousands. I did. And the guy is legit . No tax and free 2 day fed ex shipping. I hope this helps - I don’t know if he does diamonds though but may be able to order them
Go to General Kutseya in Kono and tell him Archer sent you.....
Its not overpriced i just got started in jewelry business myself, just to bring any gold jewelry into the country ur hit with 8.5% duty and 5%gst plus u have other expenses all those things factor in
Lol why are you bringing gold jewlery into the country 🤔. I can go to a faster and make that piece for under $500 and get my own stones to put into it. I can make this same pendant for around $1400
Trax that was calm and professional.
This place shady af. If u wanna get robbed to your face, stop on by
I believe yall are doing great, and I like the business idea! Though honestly handmade in America isn't what I want to extra for. Unless, however, the gold was physically harvested from US soil. Then it's truly American, and I'll gladly pay extra.
This gentleman works harder then all the haters combined! When I get some more bread saved I want a Cuban link chain, and I’m Gonna go to the shop.
Watching in the uk top man great business You pay for quality in service and this is exactly what you get . hoping to do business soon I need to get a Hampton ring
Any microscope setting vacancy ?im microscope setter .
new york city is a tough place i know cause i lived and work there
if you are on 47st looking for any kind of jewelry trax is the only place to go best price best product end of story ❤
Better to buy gold coins and avoid the markup, gold is gold. When it comes time to sell you'll only get the gold value.
It's not "overpriced " rather over your price budget . Most for example have $500 extra to spend but look for something that is $1500 .
I have an old lady that’s been my gold dealer for 30 years out of her room in her house made into a showroom all the cops do business with her she is good. But you will not find no one that will sell you jewelry spot price they can’t the labor and all that crap needs to be paid. Now days with all this bullshit inflation gold has gone up. I have never been able to buy spot price on just plain gold they have to make there money somewhere. If you buy large then maybe but you will have to buy right from the dam mine
My bad max you said Ronald salute max your the best my brother keep up the great work
Of course their gonna ask for the money you have to be the one knowing what you wanna pay and work something out, I negotiated a custom ring down to what I thought was fair
Based on the video, those prices are for someone who has more money than they care, so they just buy the piece and trax gets a higher margin. The live chat dropped the price $400 within a few minutes. You could probably say they had that open and went to Carlos when they saw it was him to tell him to lower it for the vid. But try it yourself
