the bubble of brokers and unexperienced people in africa blown up
(my own picture please do not copy)
i think this is the most interesting post for most of you that read my blog.
i will pop some bubble illusions i will make some shoking announcments for most of you, so sit tight grab your chair it will not be soft.
first of all those ones who believe in manifest and stock listing from africa i have a breaking news for you NO ONE WILL WAIT FOR YOU TO FLY OVER AND BUY THE GOODS OF THE DEALER/MINER/EXPORTER. you can ask this from companies like the "de beers"and "alrosa"not from small to medium scale of mining none of the dealers/exporter/miner will not wait for you.
the dealer will not wait and make this listing because he is working locally selling localy the miner will not wait for you because he need quick cash flow to his mining keep working keep operating his mine,the exporter will not wait for you bevause his intention is: you guest right TO EXPORT!
yeah i know what you are thinking now ok so let's make a deal when i just pay the export charges and i will pay you the balance when i reach to my detination,yeah right like as if i would trnasfer the ownership of a brand new frarri under your name before you paid me for it. those kind of things DO NOT WORK as i explained before all of the chain in africa DEALER/MINER/EXPORTER they all need quick cash flow and none of them would not wait for you.
as an exporter and a miner my expensses with a medium scale mining site where about 25,000-40,000 a month, yeah yeah you read right so you ask why shouldn't i sell one of the stones locally make the export and come to you? well let me tell you because once i am out from africa i don't need brokers i dont need you to introduce me to a buyer i just export it to a diamond exchange company that will happly accept my goods and pay for it with no complications.
you have a dream to be a diamond dealer? good follow your dream you dont have the capital?raise it up,do what ever it takes.
another bubble which i really want to blow up is the UP FRONT PAYMENTS,you found an exporter that you really believe that can come to you?good he want to see you obligated. he want you to have something to lose.you would have to give him some money from him to get a better prospective on you. if you come to a diamond exchange company and you want to reserve a stone for a period of time you HAVE TO PUT AN UPFRONT DEPOSIT or else no one will wait for you a diamond exchange in europe in usa in israel in dubai in where ever you plan to work.
you have the capital to go and buy in africa?good. you have the knowledge?you have the experience?no? you need to use an experienced person a professional,either a gemologist with record of or what purchasing in africa an exporter a polisher or what ever specialist you find on that field. it will cost money and yeah you guest right it's an UP FRONT PAYMENT.
NO ONE WORK FOR FREE!
how to choose the right person to assist you in the journey,well let me tell you it is not easy and not every person is qualified for those type of missions.
you need to have some one with proven experience such as: past preformance,recommendations,you check the person out from all sides about his knowledge.
africa is not an easy place every one want to talk your money over here you are a practically a walking ATM machine. if you found that right person he will guide you what to do how to behave when you are in africa there are some codes and behavior that should be maintaned during your business trip and during the purchasing process that is very important to keep.
do not fly down because of a person sent you a contract and a manifest cout a buys opinion come with an open minded not to a specific person. find the local dealer that you feel some connection to the same person who you give him 20 dollars yes 20 dollars UP FRONT 20 dollars and he use it to go around and bring the diamonds to you.
well i hope that this post opened your eyes a bit the next post would be about a licensed exporter/miner keep following :-)
