Just curious ... but why do you care what the rapaport price sheet is? It's just a guide that is very subjective with pricing errors/deviations of +/-20% or more to allow for al kinds of variations to be priced in like how deep the cut is, accuracy of grading, polish/symmetry/cut, etc, etc.

There is very little margin between wholesale and retail loose diamonds, especially in the 10+ct range, and in that range anyways the rapaport sheets are pretty much useless because pricing is dependant on availablity much more then what the rap sheet says. You're much better served simply by shopping around from site to site to get an idea of what these stones retail for and go from there regarding your bargaining for purchase.

Rap prices won't help you.

They are very general indicators.

10 carat+ are not covered in the Rap sheets.
