When do you plan to ship me the diamonds at $10 a carat you say are

By-the-way, and I am hardly ever "THIS BLUNT", I am quite surprised
someone as stupid as you could ever pass the test and get a novice
license, I am quite impressed! ROFLOL

Damn man! Ever been to a flea market where they are asking $100.00 and
you offer 'em $20 ... krist, you have to have the courage to let 'em
take it home, find another sucker, or let you buy it!

Sure, but what has that to do with buying stuff from the store?

I don't do recycled beer.

No need as it appears you are flinging them about for free and calling
them usenet postings.

Ever heard the term, "What the market will bear (or, beer, in the case
of responding to that last part of your post/remark grin and ;-) )

Or, when idiots are buying at super-inflated prices, stand in the
background, wait your time ... I just made an offer to buy back my last
home from the bank for ~40% of what I sold it to "the sucker" at--I am
waiting to hear back ... wife does not like the present habitat ... and
frankly, I don't like the "antenna situation" ...

Hmmm, no sale then?

Don't worry, the next one is only around the corner--according to Barnum

How much do you need? http://www.kitcosilver.com/

OK, I am going to bed ... but, just spoke to "my man" ...

There are certificates of silver ... and then there is REAL silver
(i.e., the metal you hold in your hand ... not a promissory note. )

Investigate the differences ...

And we wonder why usenet is being dropped by one ISP after another? It is
behavior such as this that keeps folks away in sufficient numbers as to not
make usenet worth the expense.

Nothing stinks more than ****ing contests. Only a moron would be amused by
this juvenile banter and they don't have a clue as to how to access usenet,
or what it was for, when it was available.

Manufactured diamonds are easily spotted with the proper equipment,
stuff even large jewelry stores don't have... x-ray fluorescence for
one... not that it matters since the real thing has no more intrinsic
value. I'd say that close to 90% (SWAG) of the so-called value of
diamonds is perceived value.

There's a darn good chance that the cost to manufacture a high quality
diamond exceeds the cost of mining the equivalent one, but they're
cheaper to the consumer because those who manufacture them don't
manage the supply like the market for natural diamonds is managed...
that and they've convinced the market that the "real thing" is better.


Only a fool would invest in diamonds, if you have 'em, dump 'em before
EVERYONE finds out! And, remember, you heard it here first--if you feel
generous, ship me a 10% "consultation fee." ROFLOL
...

You DID NOT read the article by Wired, I can tell ... NO, these
"manufactured diamonds" cannot be told apart from those occurring in
nature, by ANY JEWELER ... other than they SHOULD bear a laser engraved
number upon them.

To tell the difference, they must be placed under an electron microscope
.... and the only "difference" that will be seen is that THEY ARE TOO
PERFECT--ABSOLUTELY NO FLAWS, THAT IS IT! GET IT RIGHT--THEY ARE REAL!

China is creating them complete--no laser mark and with FLAWS ... place
'em under an electron microscope and you can't tell the difference. The
reason?, duh, they ARE REAL. (anyway, just buy a BIG manufactured one
and have it cut down to remove the mark--however, it will still be more
perfect than any found in nature)

Exceed the cost of mining the "natural ones?" Naaa, you can't even mine
'em at $5 bucks a carrot ...

I repeat, only a fool would buy a natural diamond ... you can find the
manufactured ones in better jewelery stores ... they are about 1/3 of
the cost of natural ones, at this time ... however, I just negotiated
the price to ~%25 ... however, I still got burned, the wife just had to
have it though. :-(

Actually, there are material harder than diamond ... this makes diamond,
actually, less appealing for even industrial uses:

Making your question even more valid, i.e. the part, "Sure, but what has
that to do with buying stuff from the store?" So, consider it answered!
