It doesn''t seem so, the already operate on much slimmer margins than B&M, so I wouldn''t rely on you getting a discount by negotiation.Date: 2/7/2007 10:17:01 AM

Just wondering whether online vendors are amenable to negotiating on price. Some B&Ms do negotaite albeit they probably start at a higher price so they have wiggle room. Any experiences with online vendors working with you once you''ve narrowed your choice?
I also got my diamond from Martin. I think he came down $200 on mine also, though there were no other vendors advertising my diamond. He does claim to beat everyone''s prices.Date: 2/7/2007 12:58:44 PM

That''s not true--
I actually emailed Mark Scheffield at U.S.A Certed Diamonds, and they were able to aquire the same diamonds from James Allen and Blue Nile, and offered to beat their price by 200 bucks. They have a ''lowest price on the internet'' guarantee, so you should follow up with that.
email or call them, their website is: http://www.usacerteddiamonds.com
I don''t think they can get stones from Good Old Gold and Whiteflash, but they can pick them up from any other vendor.
