Do you realize that Diamonds would be 10x cheaper if DeBeers wasn't hoarding all of the diamond mines? A $15,000 rock should cost you less than $1,500. Lack of competition is never a good thing.

Scalpers provide competition, not take it away.

And they have a right to do whatever they want with their diamonds. But this is turning political. Wrong forum. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Scalping is an honorable trade that should be legal. (everywhere)

Ebay pretty much covers that. I am trying to find seats to the NCAA Austin Regional games. Probably going to get the best price right before gametime.

If diamonds were 10x cheaper, they would just be replaced with some other expensive rock. It isn't like most people buy them for their utility...
