I got to go to 184 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 8: forty seven. I got out of the retail game. I 185 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 8: came to the wholesale game. Basically I was selling directly 186 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 8: to the stores that was selling to everybody else. It's 187 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 8: better because your money comes in fast because it has 188 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 8: to buy it has to sell it.

Again, again, 339 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 8: the first thing is trust the guy can't sell you 340 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 8: no garbage. If you have a certain budget, he's got 341 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 8: to show you something decent quality for that budget. He 342 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 8: shouldn't be able to sell you something that's not worth 343 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 8: anything for something, you know what I'm saying to say VS. 344 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 8: To say side, most of the jewelers are bullshit and 345 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 8: everything is VS. VS. Why because people heard VS. 346 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 5: Right, Because it's like we really don't know. There's no reason. 347 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 8: Again, it's trust. Like when somebody buys let's say a 348 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 8: diamond started rolics right, they're like, Yo, this is OVS. 349 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 8: It's OVS. I told him it's not VS. Because you 350 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 8: can't have a thousand stones in the watch. That's OVS. 351 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 8: Otherwise you're paying instead of twenty thousand, you're paying sixty thousand. 352 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 8: The guy sits there and picks exactly those little stones. 353 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 8: Won but wanted to make sure. There's way too much 354 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 8: time VF though VF no VS VS. 355 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 7: But other than VS, you can do it. 356 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 8: If that's that's flawless. 357 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 5: So that's the best. 358 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 8: That's the best. Yeah, but again people can't expect, like 359 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 8: a lot of people come, yo, me get that VS. 360 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 8: Shame for ten thousands. He doesn't know what he's saying 361 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 8: it's not you can't get a via that VS. Shame 362 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 8: for ten thousand, but he heard other jewelers saying VS 363 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 8: VS VS. So they think that everything is VS. 364 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 2: I think it's important to take time out too when 365 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 2: when people come in to kind of educate them. 366 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: Also, you know, because a. 367 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 2: Lot of times I tell us he we'll go in 368 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 2: like wanting something, but we don't know what we should 369 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 2: be even asking. 370 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 8: Our brand only jewelry, we stand behind and we if 371 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 8: it's VS. We say it's VS. A lot of customers 372 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 8: buy online because of trust, because of Google reviews, because 373 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 8: they're frame boll Like this year we have forty percent 374 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:05,360 Speaker 8: repeat back customers coming buying for the season. For online business, 375 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 8: forty percent is a huge, huge market, huge number. So 376 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 8: we have the analytics. We catch who's the customer, when 377 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 8: did they buy phons before? What did they buy and 378 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 8: we see them coming back. That means that they both 379 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 8: from us, they tested it and they're satisfied. That's why 380 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 8: a year later or within the year they're coming to 381 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 8: buy more. Otherwise, if you buy something online you're not 382 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 8: happy with it, you will never buy there ever again. 383 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,360 Speaker 2: Now, what is the point of buying like a new 384 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 2: Rolex versus a pre owned, certified pre owned Rolex, like 385 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 2: because I feel like, you know, you can find something 386 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 2: that somebody and to be I guess right, less expensive 387 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 2: if you're getting something that's pre own.
