I have to agree on this. I have stayed out of this since day one, but as far as I am concerned WF did nothing wrong here. I would say they were too nice in my book anyways.Date: 12/26/2005 10:55:35 PM

So because they did not call and say ''send back our stone ASAP'' and instead tried to find out if the customer was still interested in the stone and what the thoughts were, rather than just be heavy-handed about demanding it back, then they are in the wrong? Surely, they are the monsters here.Date: 12/26/2005 10:44:24 PM

Perhaps I am looking at this in the wrong way, but it seems to me that WF is the wronged party. They were promised that the stone would not be out for any longer then a week, in reality it was 16 days....If I were them I would be livid that any customer left the country and made themselves unreachable without a final decision.
I cannot decide what exactly that inaction was, but at the very least it was highly irresponsible and may have cost WF the sale of that diamond.
Satriani why is it that you choose to withhold your decision from Whiteflash, thus preventing them from relisting that stone?
In another thread they held a stone for 3 weeks for someone I dont see that they were harmed by 16 days.
They could have called and said to the appraiser send our stone back at any time and been with in their rights as the stones owner.
Instead they chose it appears to ask the appraiser to bug the customer about a setting decision?!?
As well as who knows what else.
As well as multiple other contacts.
If the content of all the calls was return our stone please we wouldnt be having this discussion.
I mean how much more of this has to be hashed out? The customer and the vendor didn''t mix well in the end. The appraiser talked to the vendor. Some would find that unacceptable. Others may not. Bottom line was the customer didn''t take the stone, no one from WF complained about that or how long the customer had it out, in fact WF didn''t complain at all. However, I find it interesting that the focus of the thread is all about how WF did wrong by ''bugging'' people, talking to the appraiser, sending the stone out for weeks when they should have called it back, etc etc.
When in fact there ARE two sides to the story....and much of it is based on opinion as we are just listeners to the story.
If I were WF I wouldn''t even come back to this thread because it seems like the focus is just about how they did something wrong because stories don''t mesh and how they talked to the appraiser and so and so says this and that, etc etc. Who is to say who is right or wrong? It''s so objective.
For what is worth, I feel BOTH parties were at fault here in terms of miscommunication but anything further than that I can''t subscribe to.
