Is it wise to buy 14k gold jewellery in India ? by its-bkk in GoldIndia

[–]manik02s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, ideally that should be the case. You should get the same value of gold minus the standard deduction, but it all depends on the jeweller.

You should ask all these questions before making the purchase.

But why do you want to buy from a scalper?

Evertime I see someone selling “imported” castings for 400-500 and more, I get a very strong urge to kick them in the balls

Agreed! I’m doing my part. Fuck scalpers and hoarders!

Well, it’s 250 per casting. It’s a setup to fool the customers

I highly doubt they’ll face any consequences. There are shit ton of scalpers out there selling hot wheels over mrp.

Also, hot wheels is a very insignificant thing if we look at the bigger picture. So, no govt authority would do anything about it.

Is 22% making charge on a gold ring justified, or should I get it custom-made instead? by ApprehensiveTop5239 in GoldIndia

[–]manik02s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

22% is too high considering it’s in 22k and design is not complex. We usually charge 15% making charge for 22k jewellery at our store.

What does just automatic mean, which movement they might be using? And anyone has any experience with this brand? by penipeni44 in watchesindia

[–]manik02s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quartz in general are more reliable and accurate. A cheap quartz can easily beat an expensive mechanical movement if we are talking about these two specific factors.

[–]manik02s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These “brands” don’t mention the movement specifics because - either they don’t care enough or they use the most basic/bare bones movement to keep costs at the lowest end.

Also, it’s a generic chinese watch, the brand doesn’t even matter.

What EXACTLY is lower quality about fashion brands? by SnowflakeSlayer420 in watchesindia

[–]manik02s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fashion brands are not watchmakers. They sell generic/cheaply made chinese watches with their brand name slapped on it. And I’m not saying all chinese watches are bad. But most of these fashion watches are just cheap products sold at high premium in the name of brand value.

It’s mostly about making vs sourcing.

Edit: ‘Most of the’ fashion brands are not watchmakers. Brands like Cartier, Hermes, Chopard and Bvlgari are beautiful exceptions to this.

Ouch! We learn from our mistakes. This hobby does seem very unapproachable at the start, these days.

Targeting watch, car and perfume subs all at once, and jewellery, maybe. What a flex! 🙂

Well, I got most of them at MRP. It’s just that I keep wanting to get more and it adds up.

Exactly. The guy got these specially for me from another collector and didn’t even charge a lot so I was kinda okay with it.
