    It's nice the way even when they were too far apart to make a deal they reach that conclusion pretty quickly without trying to nickle and dime each other at all. Like you might expect in a failed negotiation done by amateur traders.

      Honestly, just buy lab grown. It's significantly cheaper and looks just as good to regular people. Nothing is lost going lab grown.
      There's no quick guide to what Avi is doing. He can only do it because he's spent years in the business learning every cut, about color, lighting, market priceses going up and down and good old fashioned salesmanship.
      SOme booths will legitimately not even negotiate with you because you don't own a business or you aren't a regular customer of theirs. They can spot a newbie just by how you handle yourself and what questions you ask.
      Buy lab grown if you must have a stone and set that. You'll be much happier.
