Q: WHY DON'T I GIVE AN ESTIMATE OF THE VALUE OF THIS STONE?
A: I've often been asked this question, and am really quite frustrated and embarrassed for my colleague gemstone sellers, who are bold enough to put RIDICULOUS value estimates of 10, 100 or sometimes even 1000 times what the stone will eventually sell for!! I firmly believe in a FREE MARKET, and I want YOU, the customer, to decide what this is worth FOR YOU! You bid, you buy, it's that simple! I will sell these stones for whatever you believe they're worth, which is why I am starting ALL my auctions at 1 RAND, with NO RESERVE PRICE, so HAPPY BIDDING!
Also, rest assured that when you buy from me, you WILL be buying WAY below retail prices, and generally WELL below wholesale prices too. I challenge you to find a Seller on BidorBuy that is cheaper than I am!
Q: DO YOUR STONES COMES WITH CERTIFICATES?
A: Generally: NO. The reason for this is that GENUINE certificates are actually very expensive to obtain. Qualified gemologists, affiliated to the big gem labs, such as EGL, DIA or AGL charge good money for issuing these certificates, as this is a very specialised skill, and generally, for the smaller stones I put up for sale, it's simply not worth my while to order the certificates, which can cost anywhere from R300 to R1000 to produce. That brings me to my next point: there are a great number of sellers (including on BidorBuy I'm afraid) who either issue their own certificates (which are actually about worth as much as the paper they're printed on, i.e. NOTHING), or they have gotten hold of FAKE certificates (anyone with a computer and PhotoShop can create these certificates). Read the ratings, read the BoB community watch bulletins, there are major league scam artists out there, trying to make you believe you're getting a R100 000 stone for R1000 or R2000! Remember: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
Q: YOUR PRICES ARE FANTASTIC! ARE THESE STONES ACTUALLY REAL?
A: YES!! ALL my stones are GUARANTEED NATURAL (i.e. not synthetic or lab created), GUARANTEED NOT FROM CONFLICT AREAS, and GUARANTEED TO BE AS DESCRIBED. I have personally measured, weighed and inspected all my stones, and I am willing to give a LIFETIME GUARANTEE that they are as described (or better). Also, I am willing to back this up with an UNCONDITIONAL REFUND GUARANTEE: If the stone is not as described in the auction listing, I will take it back and refund the FULL amount (minus any shipping costs incurred), NO questions asked.
