Wow, it’s actually here — we’re in the Xmas Season already, in case you hadn’t noticed. The commercials are full of Christmas colors, if not Christmas spirit. The true spirit of Christmas can’t be realized until people stop going to midnight mass and start putting the “X” back in “Xmas”.
It’s about gifts, don’t you know? And the perfect gift for this holiday season is the MINIATURE gold ammy.
The plain bezel is the absolute smallest I can deliver in dime-size, with a working radio inside it. I can make smaller, but it costs a lot more for the subminiature elements.
So many people are as excited about the gold amulets as I am, and therefore I took the time today to sit down and write out a definitive price list for the solid 14k gold amulets, based on a discussion I had today with my bezel guy who, by the way, also makes rings.
Jewel is on the phone for me right now, finding out about the cost, availability and time factor for delivery.
I have on hand right now my items from the gallery — three dollar-sized fancy bezels, two half-dollar sized fancy bezels, two quarter-sized fancy bezels, and half a dozen plain bezels.
I can’t guarantee shipping when we get anywhere near Christmas, thanks to our good friend deJoy, a Trump Appointee who can’t be fired and won’t stop screwing around with the postal system, because he’s trying to get the postal service privatized, with his shipping company in charge, get it?
So Christmas shipping this year is subject to the whims of the Grinch.
There’s also the fact that this is the busiest season for coin jewelry, Christmas. The only other big time for coin jewelry is June, graduation time.
Halloween is not noted as a high-volume time for high-ticket items, nor is Thanksgiving, but Christmas and Valentine’s Day are good candidates for marketing campaigns.
How would you market the gold ammies? Well, you simply double what you paid, and that’s the low end of the retail market.
At some point, I’ll have to raise the prices to normal levels, but at this point, it’s more important to get these out to you in your hands so you can show them to others.
Are they Blessed? Yeah, they’re Blessed. What kind of hotel do you think we’re running here, anyway??? What kind of question is that?
I make all these by hand. The bezels are hand-made in California. The parts are antique and rare. The thing actually works. I have posted bench-test videos and I’ll post more.
Okay, so here’s the definitive price rundown, keeping in mind that I will have to raise the prices, so don’t blame me if you miss the SALE price.
SALE PRICES for ammies in solid 14k gold bezels:
- PLAIN DIME SIZE — $232.00
- FANCY DIME SIZE — $470.00
- PLAIN “EAGLE” SIZE — $332.00
- FANCY “EAGLE” SIZE — $541.00
- PLAIN DOLLAR SIZE — $368.00
- FANCY DOLLAR SIZE — $626.00
Those are the lowest prices I can manage. The dollar-sized ammy actually finishes out slightly larger than a dollar, about the size of a silver Eagle.
See You At The Top!!!
