Stories.

Why smuggle gemstones? They are duty free here in the U.S..

We are vendors of the GJX or were seeing if we get our spot back.
Alan I am not sure if I completely understand your meaning a American smuggling in. Do you mean hand carrying goods back from a trip and not declaring?

Hope to see you there in Feb.
John Dyer will be in his usual spot too.

Maybe we can start a Tucson 2022 thread soon. :D

I assume the dealer meant hand carrying and not declaring, I am not familiar with US rules, so cannot say why he would do such a thing, just that there must be a financial advantage.

If someone is bragging about cheating I question integrity. Why wouldn't he also cheat you?

I thought that I implied that he wasn't selling, he was buying, so no, he wouldn't be cheating me.

Right. I see. Well someone should tell the poor sod that he can stop sewing all those gems into the lining of his clothes now.
