Two notes about Abazias...

[Regular Guy]

1) Per Rappaport''s recent reporting, Abazias has done very well recently; see immediately below:

"---Abazias 2Q07 Revenues +58% to Almost $2M
Online diamond retailer Abazias.com reported that revenue rose 58
percent to $1.7 million during its second quarter. The company
increased gross margins (by 62 percent) to 21 percent overall during
the quarter."

2) Per a recent thread, I''m guessing their success isn''t largely dependent on Pricescope''s assistance.

We bought from Abazias after finding them from Pricescope and im so happy with our purchase and the service recieved from Jamie and Erin when were arrived at the office to collect my ring, as we started the purchase in the UK right through to collection when i arrived in Florida. We were even greeted by Oscar and his daughter and they couldnt have been nicer even though it was only a 1 carat purchase which is big to us but smaller in comparison to some of the other stones mention on the forums.

Congratulations on the growth.

Ira,

We were a bit critical of their web interface and they don’t seem to have taken much of our advice, at least not yet, but I wouldn’t describe that as not being helpful. That kind of think can have complicated affects that take a while and some of the things requested are pretty difficult to deliver. They may have simply considered the issues brought up and decided that they didn't apply to their particular customer base.
