Thread: Stone identification Help needed

Btw, if there has never been an advertisement for srp classifieds or just buying from srd or a no bs vendor here you go.... I miss the glory days when names were posted with the bids vs all of these nonsense bid charts which aren't even time accurate

I just read that I have been a member on the bay since 98.... That is crazy to me. I remember in the old days anyone could leave anyone feedback even if you never dealt so ppl were negging ppl for sniping them at the end of auctions. The wild west days

Well, I won which is nice after that entire fiasco. That went cheaply imo. It was a prime case of a seller shooting himself in the foot by posting a message from a bidder who offered up some really terribly incorrect information about coticules along with his own oil post at the end making it sound as if the stone were sweating oil which it most definitely was not... If you asked him for the photos of the clean stone he took but couldn't ul it clarified a lot.

I was going to bid on it but after reading what he did I guess you can say I got cold feet...[emoji53] and congratulations on the score, I hope the stone serves you well[emoji106] [emoji3]

The seller didn't do anything wrong, this is an ebay issue. Ebay does not do nearly enough to punish those who play games with sellers, meanwhile, they supposedly screen our private messages for keywords which may indicate they're losing out.... Just more lack of catering to your clients on all fronts...

That makes more sense. for some reason it sounded like you where saying that he told another bidder what you bids where.

Nooo.. The guy bidding was bidding me all the way to my max and one ping past, then once he thought I was not bidding again retracted his lead bid so anyone watching saw my max. Anyone who wanted could have spite bid me a penny beneath my max if they wished... If it is a listing that is running clean and you win with your max by a penny, great, but to win by some pointed bid at the last second when you know everyone watching it saw that number that is well out of order.

He was pretty stand up to just scrap the listing...

It was nice to win.... My luck in open listings is absolutely horrid... I am the guy who could bid $800 on a rare straight worth probably 700 and still lose. It's warped but it's happened multiple times to me
