    This is not to "tit for tat" of this thread. There are some stores
    that can't get higher prices. I've found them to be about 5% - 10% of
    jewelers. 

    I've seen the three most common reasons for not being able to get
    higher prices: 

    A.	Your in a real mall with 8 others doing repair work. Competition
    is within walking distance. 

    B.	The store owner and staff think's it's about price and they can't
    sell. 

    C.	The average retail selling price of PRODUCT in their store is way
    low, like under $200. Their customer base are those who have little
    deposable income. 

    My experience with chatting with over 5000 store owners is 95% of
    them will get higher prices if they ask. These folks are in the 5%
    range.
