Title: Re: "12 Days": Auction #8 - Peridot Pair Post by: c0ffer on December 12, 2011, 03:11:06 AM I posted an introductory thread in the main Marketplace section so I could edit it as we go. That post is here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=53568.0 The quick answer is, no shipping is extra, however shipping prices are quite economical. Even with shipping added on top, these auctions are still outstanding deals ;) Title: Re: "12 Days": Auction #8 - Peridot Pair Post by: illpoet on December 12, 2011, 11:05:14 PM 3 btc

I am addicted to gems now. Title: Re: "12 Days": Auction #8 - Peridot Pair Post by: likuidxd on December 16, 2011, 05:44:23 AM 4btc I am addicted to gems now. Careful, there are a lot of gem scams out there. DISCLAIMER: Not calling/accusing c0ffer of being a scammer. Just stating that there are a lot of gem stone scams out there; be aware, ask questions and know what your getting into. Also, not meant to thread jack. Sorry. Title: Re: "12 Days": Auction #8 - Peridot Pair Post by: RandyFolds on December 16, 2011, 05:24:27 PM I don't think low value gems are even worth the trouble to fake. No one is going to make a doublet for a twenty or thirty dollar stone.
Either way, the garnets I received from c0ffer were indeed garnets. Title: Re: "12 Days": Auction #8 - Peridot Pair Post by: c0ffer on December 16, 2011, 07:11:45 PM 4btc I am addicted to gems now.

Just stating that there are a lot of gem stone scams out there; be aware, ask questions and know what your getting into. Also, not meant to thread jack. Sorry. These are sound words indeed. I appreciate the disclaimer as well :) I definitely don't believe there were any accusations being made, just a message of caution to those who can get overzealous with buying gems. The gem bug can be a contagious one ;) Current Leader: RandyFolds Current Bid: 4BTC Title: Re: "12 Days": Auction #8 - Peridot Pair Post by: RandyFolds on December 16, 2011, 07:31:29 PM I am all about the destructive scratch test...I wouldn't do it on really nice stones since you are gouging them, but having a beefy mineral collection let's you determine authenticity pretty easily. A steel file and a chunk of zircon go a long way for determining hardness.

And this auction is completed :) Winner: RandyFolds Winning Bid: 4BTC |
