JJkizak Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Everything has it's price. When your dying of thirst a diamond is useless and has no value but a glass of water does. JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Diamonds, unless used for a purpose like a cutting tool, are only worth what they bring as part of the greater fool concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sat under the trees taking pictures while they played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many do, even if they don't know at first, looking at people today I am glad I am not single. 49 minutes ago, Jeff Matthews said: Is this your version of a cheap date? To me it would be just the opposite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's alright, just use the sprayers to hose off before you leave! Swimsuits, shorts, and rubber boots are best if the weather is right. They also have a little water park there to play in and cool down in summer. Lots of memories from here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are pretty much like everything else in the luxury item field, and probably 95% of audio. A Picasso painting, '63 Ferarri GTO, front row tickets for the Stones, a bottle of Bryant Family Cab, could all be considered "useless" but the fact remains there are way more willing and able buyers than supply, which creates even more demand. Come to think of it, for some wives, getting a diamond makes them quite happy, so if the old adage is true, happy wife, happy life, they worth could approach near elasticity. However, with diamonds the supply is artificially limited and supply chain tightly controlled so the prices are grossly inflated. I think high grade emeralds are far more rare and should be way more expensive than diamonds, but there just isn't the demand. Diamonds are a girl's best friend. Now excuse me while I get back to my $4 cup of coffee. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
