The Engagement Ring Clients That Weren’t Mother and Son

“We had a couple come in looking for engagement rings. The female was a lot older than the male. We assumed he was with his mother. It wasn’t! We Facebook-stalked them after they purchased. Turn the clock back about 10 years, a female junior high teacher was having sex with her 13-year-old male student. She was certainly teaching him more than English. He wasn’t complaining. But somehow, they got found out. She went to prison for several years. Fast forward to now: They are getting married.” — Dave Fadel, Fadel Enterprises, Bountiful, UT

You Wouldn’t Cut Your Own Hair. Why Run Your Own Retirement Sale?

After being in business for over a quarter of a century, Wayne Reid, owner of Wayne Jewelers in Wayne, Pennsylvania, decided it was time for a little “me time.” He says, “I’ve reached a point in my life where it’s time to slow down, enjoy a lot of things outside of the jewelry industry. It just seemed to be the right time.” He chose Wilkerson to handle his retirement sale because of their reputation and results. With financial goals exceeded, Reid says he made the right choice selecting Wilkerson to handle the sale. “They made every effort to push our jewelry to the forefront of the showcases,” he says, lauding Wilkerson for their finesse and expertise. Would he recommend them to other jewelers who want to make room for new merchandise, expand their business or like him, decide to call it a day? Absolutely he says, equating trying to do this kind of sale with cutting your own hair. “The results are going to happen but not as well as if you have a professional like Wilkerson do the job for you.”
