Thread: Thoughts on oil covered bricks?

Come see, come saw comes to mind!

I bought an oily black stone once. In a nice wooden box. Learned my lesson!
Was an india after cleaning. I think I gave it to Shaun?

Yes I could have asked more questions. He wouldn't have had the answers but maybe that would have been a tip. He had plenty of pictures. It took some really close examination to see they were all from the same side. That's on me though I guess. That still doesn't excuse whoever gave the description and took the pictures from from trying to defraud. That's why they have buyers protection and ratings. If you're concerned about the seller or just figure I was duped and deserve what I got, I still took a bath on a stone that wasn't what I hoped and wasn't what the called it. Remember he called it a natural In his description.

Point taken. Trust me, I'm aware I took a chance and it wasn't successful. That's kind of the whole point I was making.

Yep. The OP was asking what we do. Here it is. I'm man enough to say it. Don't do it like I did it unless you're willing to lose. Hey, sometimes you gamble and win. Don't gamble with money you can't lose.

Now BS is BS in spite of "caveat emptor" and it's not cool. If you say it's a natural it had better be a natural. Now had it been a natural cake of mud then jokes on me. And Mike is right. It's always good to ask questions.

I have been pretty fortunate though. Most of the stuff I've gambled on has been at least worth keeping, even if it is not what I hoped for.
