Why – Why not?
Why not ask why? When you get an offer it contains a lot of words. The words used and the procedure proposed raise normally a lot of questions. The questions should always start with a WHY.
Why FOB, why not CIF? Why without seller’s name? Why asking for a specific procedure? Why not disclose the company address? Why only mobile number? Why?
What I do. I give a counter proposal. Why not use your ownership of the gold or rough diamonds to increase your profit? Why not make 200 000 USD extra compared with spending 2000 USD on sending it safely to a capable buyer? Why not use the money to invest in your own mining activity? Why not be your own buyer from your own company? Why not have your own refinery account? Why not sell at LBMA? Why not triple your money by bringing the rough diamonds to a professional cutter and polishing workshop in a JV?
Why not ask the why and why not questions more often.
