you said "no" even if you said now you've made money with LAX..... I know it was a contradiction on purpose to say you come up with LAX, but what do you think I do for a living on a daily? and he has zero overhead really, I have a storefront and labor costs, etc... and I still see it as an investment everyday. that being said, I don't consider a single sale as making money, until we hit our mark for our monthly overhead; then we're good obviously....but FYI, Jonas can make over 6 figures now easily on his jewelry if he decides to melt it down for scrap and get scrap for his VVS diamonds as well. FACT, out of Jonas's portfolio, his jewelry was the best investments in the past 4 years. crazy, but dead $## true.
If we melted down Icee Fresh 2moro we'd be rich, but then what would I do for a real income? Supra & LRG only pay my car notes. remember, we're a small shop who's website gets more traffic than any single custom jeweler on the planet (alexa.com research that) It's harder for an civilian to sometimes come up on jewelry or watches, but thats why I got into this business was to make bread. I'm utilizing my marketing skills to do so as well.
now even though I think LAX is about as smart as a bag of broken nails at times and I don't agree with most of his actions in this trade of jewelry, he uses that to his advantage and if you need a rolex or anything that has to do with a rolex in the west coast, he is 1 of those calls you might HAVE to make other than Mosey or other big cats... A lot of people downtown may not like him, but they will call him to move something or find something, he's just one of those jewelry rats who will survive period. he's made moves and as shady as his appearance may look to the normal snobby diamond client, I've never heard about him jerking someone outright. he reminds me of how tetsujin.co.jp aka Saam who was a long time NTer got down when selling kix.
