What does it take to buy jewelry and gems at wholesale prices? It takes connections (plain and simple). Our company is a forerunner in wholesale goods, specifically jewelry and gems.
While we don't believe that a Buying Guide should be about "us". No doubt, there is a vast audience of resellers on eBay seeking to buy jewelry and gems at wholesale (and at the very least) near wholesale pricing.
Resellers who are seeking to enhance their current inventory, do so, in order to reach a wider audience. In addition, they receive additional listings in their eBay stores, which in turn, increases their visibility. Increased visibility, means more traffic and more traffic translates into increased revenues.
We see many books and newsletters touting great selling ideas and techniques for $9.95 upwards to $49.95. However, no one needs to tell you how to sell, as selling a product is based upon marketing and if you have an eBay store and take advantage of all of the store building tools eBay has to offer, in cojunction with an eBay Keyword Campaign, then you're on the right track to success!
If you're an established eBay store, you have a built in customer base and if you're a PowerSeller then you're even that much further ahead of the game.
What you "need" is product! What you "want" is product at the right price! Adding a new line of product to existing inventory is a great idea however, if you're selling pots and pans then adding jewelry and gems just won't fit into the mix. However, if you're selling fashion items (such as clothing, scarves, shoes, gloves - textiles in general) then offering jewelry as an accessory is a natural fit!
Testing the waters is the first important step in expanding your business model to include jewelry and gems. Purchasing a few items and adding them into the mix is a great way to get your feet wet. In addition, you can gauge your existing customers response to the new product line offering and you will know quickly if offering a new product line has also brought new customers to your door.
No doubt, you must learn about the product you are selling. Offering jewelry and gems is not just about posting product. What you need to know is what you're selling. How are diamonds graded? How do you know the difference between a synthetic stone and a geniune gem? These are just a few questions (out of a possible thousand) you may be asked, as you build your gem and jewelry product line.
We are the best kept secret on eBay.
We are a wholesaler/supplier to resellers and brick and mortar retailers (including consumers). We sell high quality (authentic) jewelry and gems but, do so, by allowing our buyers/resellers to set their own prices via the auction process. We don't operate a web site online, which requires you to enter a username and password to get access to our prices. Our estimates are based upon what a piece of jewelry or gem should sell for through our auctions. You can visit our online catalog by visiting our eBay store located at CJG Online Catalog
Live Auction Events allow our buyers to scoop up as much inventory, as they may require on a weekly or monthly basis. They have the ability to buy product quickly and decisively in one sitting and are guaranteed to receive the product within a few short days.
This business is about saving both time and money and getting the product up online (as soon as is humanly possible). It's also about customer service. Let's face it! If you order product today and need it "in-house" to sell within a few days, waiting for two to three weeks for product to arrive is not going to work for you.
Fast Track to a New Product Line...
We can promise shipping within 48 to 72 hours of receipt of payment. If you require product overnight, we can overnight product to you for the actual cost of shipping overnight (no mark ups on shipping).
We allow you to use our pictures and descriptions to resell our product...
The most time consuming aspect in selling gems and jewelry is taking the digital picture, processing the picture through Photoshop and then writing a description for the product. We allow our buyers to use our pictures and descriptions so they don't have to take the time to repeat this costly process.
What we do not allow is for buyers to bid on product and use our pictures and descriptions - prior to paying for their stock. In other words, we do not allow buyers to come into an auction, bid on product and use our sales tools (pictures and descriptions) without first paying for the product.
However, if you have paid for your product, you may use our sales tools (pictures and descriptions) immediately to resell our product. You can be assured that your product will arrive at your door, as quickly as the method of shipping you have chosen.
A Word About Feedback...
Our Feedback is excellent and we're pleased when buyer's post us Feedback however, many resellers do not leave us Feedback, as they resell under their own name and no doubt, do not want buyer's knowing where their product resource is located online. If you purchase bulk quantity of goods from us for resale, we will not leave you Feedback if you so request.
Dropshipping....
We are NOT dropshippers! We do not drop ship product for resellers. We only ship goods directly to the purchasing customer/reseller.
