Earn a Buck or Two...Be an Agent for Michael's Jewelers

Does "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today" ring a bell? Anyone done business with these folks?

As long as they do right by the people you refer to them, I suppose all would be OK. Would seem a win/win situation.

No - don't do it. This is spam, pure and simple. Don't encourage it by answering him.

Michael, I wish you and your lovely wife all the success in the world. I do want to let you know that you should put "AD" in the subject line when you advertise on Usenet, and also I wanted to suggest a couple of things for your website.

First, better pictures! The pieces may be pretty, but the pictures are not very high-quality and buyers will be more likely to spend money with you if they can really see the item before they buy. You will need a good digital camera (3.2 megapixel or higher) a neutral background (get rid of that red! It's doing you a disservice) and really, really good lighting. 2 or 3 100-watt full-spectrum bulbs in reflector lamps about

Second, if you tell people what the pieces are made out of, even just a cursory list of stones, and the lengths, you might get more response. You don't have to do elaborate descriptions, but a couple of words ("18 inch necklace, red adventurine chips, jasper pendant")

Good luck!
