Free pearls!!!

[BWeaves]

Stauer does it again. FREE* PEARLS! 26 inch strand of 7 mm pearls.



OK I'll say something nice. They're not completely misleading the public. The blown up photo shows really crappy looking FW pearls strung with no knots, and that's probably exactly what you get. You do have to pay $25 shipping and handling, which is probably more than the cost of the pearls and the shipping combined, but they're FREEEEEE******!

The Mitsuko(R) brand name reminds me of the "Genuine" Sato watches that were sold back when Seiko watches were first big. And remember the IBM AT personal computer? There was a knockoff called the 8E. Say it out loud.

* Not valid in TX, FL, CO, OK, RI, NH, WV, OR, SC, VA and ID. In those states you have to pay a whopping 1 cent for the pearls.



I'm sorry, but Stauer runs a lot of ads in some of the magazines my husband and I subscribe to and they all drive me crazy. I feel sorry for the ad writer, or maybe I don't.

Stauer is the worst. Their ads drive me crazy and I feel like yelling at Archaeology magazine.

Interesting and frustrating! Thanks BWeaves! I hadn't seen this ad before.

The name Mitsuko also sounds vaguely like Mikimoto, at least to my pre-coffee brain... all the better to pump up the perceived value, I guess. I could do just as well on Amazon.

Ohh, that is so sweet of them. They had a really good year so they are giving back! Whoohooo! Love the marketing scheme! But I can do better than that! Remember all my Chinese seller ebay transactions? Those were all FREE with NO shipping!!! I got my shipping reimbursed too. They are still the same crappy pearls, so not really sure I'm that much further ahead. But, at least I'm having fun with the ebay deals.

Just what every woman desires-- low quality, small freshwater pearls.

"Our pearl dealer was stuck." Yes, and now they want to stick YOU with them!

I saw this ad in an automotive magazine. I wonder if the target market is men?

Sad if it is-- pity the poor ladies who are receiving these.
