I like how he talks about the Dunning-Kruger effect with total obliviousness.

The Dunning-Krueger Effect is running thick in here today with the rest of you broken brained bozos too. Keep pounding those keyboards, my bitches.
I think you're misunderstanding.Tom, legitimate question here: why do you continue to fall for this shit?
I am abigender intersexmale with an extremely unpleasant male aspect.
All of it. And the little specs of "spices" are just dirt from his placeWhat percentage of your soup came from a dumpster?

I'd say that is the main selling point. It must be rather unpleasant to breathe the air around Tom.Sure, they're breathtaking to behold
What are we thinking? Tom was playing his horn on the street and started pawing at Mickey's daughter when she stopped to help the cat that she heard dying? She saw a hobo dumpster diving and offered to buy him a meal?Mickey seems to have a good reputation and is part of the local lapidary community. He has nothing at all to gain by trying to scam Tom and I don't believe that's what's happening.
Looks like someone dumped their cigarette ashes into the stew.What percentage of your soup came from a dumpster?

at least 35"Mickey and I don't need to use facebook to communicate and i'm friends with his daughter."
How old was she when you became friends?
they're business partners.Do you mean when you ask about the Greg Arbizo Quartz Collection? Mickey may have mined them but they're on loan to the museum from Greg.
we're still working out the details. basically he's going to feed me pictures with specifications and an asking price which will be listed in our catalog. i'm putting in for dealer status at mindat. mickey has at least a ton of material he's mined from a historic mine and he does a professional job of cleaning specimens. without the provenance, the material is worth $50-150/lb. with the provenance, there's no telling what kind of offers will come in from a site like mindat.How are people going to know to contact you if they want to buy Mickey's stones if he doesn't tell them? It's not like a lot of people looking to buy stones read your pages.
i'm not discussing anything with his daughterAll the best business deals are always discussed through someone's kid. Is Mickey's daughter some bleeding heart who took pity on a crazy old tranny and now you've concocted this fantastical business relationship out of thin air? Well, I guess Mexican brick smoke in your case.
either this week or never. if he has been scamming me, he deserves oscars for his own acting and directing scenes with a fake family and friends and completely faking a car crash, with hospital stay and impounded vehicle.So, when is Okoth (who is totally not scamming you) going to ship those stones and tools over to you?![]()
mickey and greg own the collection jointly. the asking price is 7.5 mil - totally out of my league, unless i am dealing at mindat, which i'm applying to do.I think you're misunderstanding.
Mickey really has mined stones which are part of a collection on display at the Norville museum. The collection is listed as the Greg Arbizo Quartz Collection and that is who they are on loan from. Mickey is listed on that collection and the information about where they were mined checks out with the information which is publicly available about Mickey's mining activities.
It may even be that the collection is for sale. The question is whether Tom has simply assumed that Mickey owns the collection and is salivating over the possibility of a large commission. Tom gets the wrong end of the stick so often that's a distinct possibility.

there you go, underestimating my competence while overestimating your own. standard DKE behavior, son.I like how he talks about the Dunning-Kruger effect with total obliviousness.

its just been images and email contact. Tom doesn't want to admit it but he has been thoroughly scammed and his zooming is forcing him to come to a slow realization of thisOh Tommie.....
So like, has he ever shown you videos of these scenes, or just images?
Isn't a catalogue just a bunch of pictures and specifications of merchandise with the listed price? So this dude is going to send Tom his catalogue and Tom is just going to slap his name on it. Is that about right?basically he's going to feed me pictures with specifications and an asking price which will be listed in our catalog
That makes sense. I know there's at least one high end gem show, though.he isn't doing rapa river any more because it's simply not profitable enough for somebody selling high end cabinet specimens
He could surely ask one of his family members or friends to send the goods if he is bedbound.Faking a family an easy task over social media though? I'm also guessing this supposed car crash and hospital visit has either "delayed" the time before he sends you these tools or has increased his asking price? Sounds like a pretty standard scam to me. When you ask for a status update this week, there will be a new excuse for why he can't get them to you.
What's more believable?That makes sense. I know there's at least one high end gem show, though.

Tom's African associates seem very illness/accident prone.
