Entitled? Huh? Businesses sell loss leaders all the time. For 20-years, GM
was selling Saturns at a loss. Me thinks we have another teenage troll.

Okay - let's. It's the family business.

Incorrect. Keystone (mark-up) is typically 300% for fine jewelry.

> consumers don't haggle the jeweler!

Incorrect again. Many jewelry customers haggle.
