    I finally feel the need to chime in. I have a 29 year small jewelry
    shop. I do repairs and custom jewelry. A few weeks back and walk in
    I had never seen before was shopping around for the best price on a
    piece of jewelry, when he asked how desperate I was to sell the ring
    he was looking at, I looked him level in the eye and said I was much
    too busy to be desperate. Even though I lost the sale to a pawn shop
    ring, I was happy with my answer. Didn't want him as a customer
    anyway. I have a great customer base with lots of new referrals. And
    really I love it when it slows down a bit and I can make a new piece
    just for the fun of it. Business has changed, with the gold price
    and the economy. That just means you have to play smarter and keep
    the loyal customers happy. A small discount for my best customers is
    a small price to pay.
