    It’s intentional to sow confusion. That way you just defer to the nice, good-looking sales person at your local jewelry store to tell you what is valuable and don’t question the cartel pricing and artificial scarcity.

      Reminds me of how those malls would have two or three jewelry stores in the middle, right across from each other, and they were all owned by the same company!
