Hi, Ennui. As the last garnet TTV ring was discounted by ~30%, I think that this new amy ring might go for ~$299.

$348. {#emotions_dlg.sad}

I knew that ring wouldn't sell for 299, not when it was over 400 to begin with. I've decided to pass on it. Stone is just too large. Much prefer my victress ring over this one.

It's now $284.62! Obviously it didn't sell as well as his previous TTV's. I would order it it I weren't getting ready to move! It was a chore pakcing the jewelry I have

I'd be so mad right now if I bought that ring yesterday at 348. Wow, I can't believe they had the nerve to lower the price down the sneaky way they did that. I do have to say after I order something from ShopHQ I do go back to check prices because they've done this lowering of their prices before. I figured it would be a flop due to his victress ring. Too much of the same ring.

Anyone who bought at the higher price just needs to call ShopHQ and they will adjust the price. I've done that a number of times and there is never a problem about it. I agree that the $348 was way too high for this ring, but at $284 I might consider it.

We all know we'll get a price adjustment, but it will be a cold day in you know where now before I'll order from them again. People that don't own computers, and believe me, there are a lot out there that don't will never know about the price being lowered. I surely doubt that ShopHQ is going to notify these people. I'm seriously considering not shopping with them again. I've seen them play with prices way too many times now.

BlingQueen -- You're right - the people who order by phone and not by computer won't know and it's not fair and, of course, they are not going to be notified. I hate it that the prices on ShopHQ change constantly from day to day.

But it's interesting (and frustrating) that on one item on ShopHQ that I've been watching for months the price never changes!

How right you are! I've also had my eye on an item and the price never came down. I guess it's Murphy's Law. I'm really finding that this shopping channel is getting a bit shady.

Sometimes perseverance pays off though. I had been looking at a Clemency piece since early last summer. There had been no price change whatsoever. But yesterday I noticed it had dropped to 59% off. Yep ... scooped that baby right up.

I did enjoy the shows there yesterday. Beautiful colored stones, and lots of variety of gems. And the Tucson sunshine ... love the idea of warm weather and blue sky this time of year.
