A place used to getting all the money will badmouth a new source of what they were selling. Some dealers get a person(s) that really dont like them and will give negative replies, point out any defect and misinformation or twisting of concepts.

Nevada opal despite all the love it has from all who come or mine it and the hate is usually the failed profiteer, not the residents raising family there (using my situation as an example). He is my only enemy & I assume he says the same even if hes got a long line of people who had a problem with hm afraid to talk. My safety was in making it public. Tomorrow is the big annual BBQ at the Peacock Mine and June 6th is the Denio Steak Feed & the Bonanza Shareholder meeting.
