<p>[QUOTE="khl889, post: 241700, member: 104"]The problem with jade -- jadeite -- is that when it comes to value, so much depends on the precise shades of the piece. You can look at an array of jades in a store display case and see prices ranging in many multiples; yet trying to figure out why and how prices differ so greatly is pretty much a mystery except to those in the field. Think of diamonds, much the same. And while subtle differences of shade can make big differences in price, representing those subtleties on screen isn't easy. Anyone thinking of spending real money is naturally going to be cautious of photoshopping as well. That you don't have a record dealing in jade doesn't help. Obviously buyers feel more comfortable working with a known dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p>These are just some reasons why you might not get the best price online.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
