[mybabyrj]

^sis, where do you get your jewelry and how much usually ang mark up?

[kaiz]

 Jayannah, sa pagkakakaalam ko nasA 2300 per gram

[RAC]

paano nyo minamarket yung jewelry? interested din ako dito.

[nicola_juliano]

Ganda ng ganitong business! This is one of my dream business tapos sarili kong designs!

[momlory]

Saan pwede magbenta ng alahas mga sis? Pano kayo nagmamarket. Gusto ko na ma dispatch yung mga alahas namin. Ginagamit lang siya pang sangla.

[kaiz]

^you offer them sis. ask ka sino mahilig sa alahas.

[phexchanger]

^^location mo sis?

Baka may alam po kayo na nagtuturo ng valuation ng mga alahas. Mother ko usually pinapabili ko kasi di ako marunong tumingin. Gusto ko sana matutunan

[nessy]

I am planning to sell gold jewelries online. Do you have an idea where can i buy those? Sa Binondo okay kaya?

[phexchanger]

Marunong ka sa appraisal sis? OK doon kung marunong kang kumilatis ng tunay at di tunay. Pede rin sa mga pawnshops ka bumili

[nessy]

Pawnshops? Pag sa pawnshops  second hand. Parang di naman maganda ibenta pag second hand sis di ba?

[Twinkle28]

Ang alahas kahit second hand tumataas pa din value lalo na kung ginto

[aquacharly]

Pawnshops? Pag sa pawnshops  second hand. Parang di naman maganda ibenta pag second hand sis di ba?

Yes, kung mukha ng bugbog na yung jewelry.
And some don't want to buy kung galing sa pawnshop, alam mo na.

If you are going to focus on just gold items, maybe you should look for a source from Dubai/Doha.
Indonesia is another good source. 
Of course  Binondo is the most convenient.
(But, you must educate yourself on the different types and grades/k )

If you will consider pawnshop auctions as  a source, better buy items with diamonds or pearls.
Tapos, have these cleaned up professionally before you offer these for sale.   

Good luck!

Thank yoy for the reply sis aquacharly.

[nessy]

Sige sis push!

[kaiz]

i started with this sideline na walang capital. parang reselling lang ginawa ko. nung malaki laki na na earn ko, yun yung pinambili ko ng own stocks ko para mas malaki kita.

[Angelite]

Hi sissies, pasali.

Alam nyo ba kung saan makakabili ng mga precious and semi-precious stones na pedeng gawing jewelries? Gusto ko talaga magstart ng ganitong business. Please help.

Thanks.

The topic caught my interest since we have been in this kind of business for 3 decades na.  Yes, it is an extremely risky venture but it also has big rewards.  Kung swerte ka and you have the right connections, mabilis ang asenso.  However, it is equally true na there are so many scammers, swindlers and other bad elements around.  kahit talagang sobrang ingat ka, e they are so cunning that they have so many ways to pull a fast one on you.  Minsan charge to experience na lang.  As they say, you win some, you lose some.  This is the life of most, if not all, jewelers.

Gusto ko rin ng ganitong business bale sa mga remita na alahas ako kukuha ng ibebenta kasi mas mura doon then balak ko may patong lang ako per gram.. pero ang gusto ko pag may nagorder sa akin bago ko sya hahanapan then picture then isend ko sa buyer.. para walang mastock na alahas.. okay kaya ito?
