Pete & Sam Negotiate Hard To Get The Best Price For Their Opal Stone | Outback Opal Hunters 

i said that same thing the other day .

Ya until you lose it all from dimensia.

@@Erin78456 that doesn't happen to the majority of people .

Nah, just a natural process, embrace it, appreciate it, just being alive.

@@pappy451 believe it or not past 80 it’s 50/50

Yeah I would have liked to have seen Justin cut that one.

His prices are pretty legit too. I have been looking at buying some opal from him

@@mattsmith6321 That is so cool; he seems like a great guy. I’d like to buy some myself to be honest. I just wouldn’t know where to start.

Lol you can't read people at all. If you think he's sincere lol. That stone is already valued at 55k.

@@JohnWick-stardawg well he needs some profit too u know

@@haven6254 well the person who valued it at 55k is also a dealer and would have factored in her profit too, so this honest sincere guy just made 6k plus whatever the other dealer factored as profit which is probably another 5 to 8k. So he's making 11 to 14k profit. Whereas the lads selling the stone have gone ages without getting paid all while still mining, using equipment, diesel, manpower and time. How much of that 49k the lads received is really profit after the cost of living and mining overheads have been factored in. You stay gullible though, fellas like that smarmy dealer love fellas like you. Why wouldn't he when a fella like you walks into his nice air conditioned office and he makes 11 to 14k without breaking a sweat or risk his life.

No doubt

Thats literally how life and business works

If it’s that bad for him he should find other employment

It’s a fake show, and they make plenty of cash each episode

​@@joseywilds3133 you seem to know a lot, ever been to the Ridge?

I love that thats what you took away from this 🤣✌

It just got listed at 125k OBO as a 33ct stone. Very pretty but the cobite needles are still in the face so probably won't sell at that price.

he went for someone to clean it and got a 120k stone from it

@@TheBarbahaba you can buy this exact opal for 95k on opalauctions

It is selling for $133,000 aud on opal auctions so I reckon they could get a better price

In this he originally started his price at 2k per carat at 41 carats so that would be 82k asking price and then technically he asked for 60k by saying it would cut into a 30 carat stone. So he got quite a bit less than he was thinking. And no I dont think this is the same fire and ice stone either

@@TheBarbahaba aye theres a risk though, what if the cleaner ruined it and it was worth way less.

Bit different to lifting heavy machinery

Paappapapl

This is all scripted

@@deussanguinius4263 Dramatised but definitely not scripted

Your gonna be down there a while

Considering he doesn't get paid much would you blame him. Why make other people rich with your pain and blood

no shit he does, he has like 50 times as much experience aswell

If Sam wasn't pulling his weight Peter would give him the arse very quickly. He does have a lot to learn but who doesn't at that age.

yes

That’s the plan lol

good point.

My mom had one, too.

@Susan Stamper they're Beautiful aren't they!!

It does but depends on the situation at the time. From what they said on the downtime, they needed the money, not just want it.

How do we know that?

The guy offered 48000 for the whole stone, thats around 1170.- a carat.

The buyer checked for impurities, chips, and crazing throughout the stone. Also, because it is an irregular shape, they need to bring size down to either a round or oval therefore it will be less carat weight. And it is a partial rub, if it had been completely cut and polished already the 2k a carat price would be more realistic.

exactly as Steve Romero said plus the seller said it had some flaws and that's why he didn't cut it any further .

Hahaha wrong that’s a totally different opal 🤦‍♂️

Na dude that's a different stonr

Wrong

Bruise lol, but you’re right. You can tell he was faking it.

@@cheyennereynoso4116 when you get tears they instantly turn purple like that

Yup, and good luck paying the bills when no one buys your stuff 😂

@@eillswim why does everyone always have something negative to say?

@@dgafbrapman688 . . . why is an opposing view labeled as negative ?

@@pappy451 its the condescending tone, not the words or view point

Finished jewelry and rough stones are two different things.

Lmao honestly

@Deus Ex says a lot about someones charachter when they can't be bothered to look for th reasoning and or point out a simple mistake that is easily made to make themselves feel better. You are either a bully or someone who was bullied good luck in life even though you don't deserve it.

@Deus Ex exactly what people with no answer do try to laugh of a comment that they can't reply too.

It goes both ways.
