The management and staff at Borsheims jewelry store in Omaha, Neb., always look forward to the annual Berkshire Hathaway shareholders meeting. The weekend-long event is one of the strongest sales periods of the year for the retailer. Now there’s another reason to get excited as Warren Buffet, who heads the holding company, will once again be making the rounds as a jewelry salesman during the weekend.
Buffett made the announcement in his annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, released Saturday. It will be the second consecutive year that the “Sage of Omaha” will be selling jewelry for the shareholders weekend—which attracts more than 30,000 Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, media members and other guests. Borsheims is a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway.
“On Sunday (May 6, 2012) around 2 p.m., I will be clerking at Borsheims, desperate to beat my sales figure from last year,” Buffett wrote. “So come take advantage of me. Ask me for my ‘Crazy Warren’ price.”
