#Gemshows - Buying "Green" at Gem & Mineral Shows...OR Meeting TV's #Prospectors

People have been asking - about buying in bulk or for resale and Wholesale Shows - some Club Shows have vendors that are able to offer wholesale pricing...and whether they are wholesale or retail, always ask for a quantity discount.

I also have a list of Commercial or Wholesale Shows that usually follows the posting of the Local Club Shows - Retail list!

Why do I LOVE Club Shows - you can't get more green than some of the folks you meet at a Club Show - most not only sell gems but they Dig the Gems AND Cut the Gems!  

Some of my favorites?  Have you seen the "Prospectors"?  It is a new show on The Weather Channel - well not exactly NEW, their 3rd season starts this November!

There was a Prospectors area at the recent Denver Shows...
