The conversion story smells.As a Canadian wholesaler,the price is out of line,and if going from US$ to CDN$, the add on taxes would also increase. The man was juising his profit margin to 100%+ and then pulled back to 75%, and that's a bit rich.

These are very old sales tactics. The guy is betting on you being so in love with the stone that you say, "Oh the heck with my budget!" and pay whatever extra he sticks on it...It's such a great stone, totally unlike all the others, I'm tired of looking, and this guy has been so nice to me, etc., etc.. It's a sleazy trick that works on 90% of the population. Why was he cold to you the second time around? Because you called his bluff.----------------

He's the one that called me back and asked to see if there was any way he could earn my business. I told him what my budget was and he is the one that provided me with the figure. At no time did I twist his arm asking him to keep on lowering his price. I was really excited and thought my search was over but now it seems like I need to start all over again.
