<p>[QUOTE="NickRobin, post: 601064, member: 10617"]At a certain point you have to know when to put something down and walk away. If it does not look like a good item to you at the price they set then it’s not worth buying. They won’t make a sale and in the end that is their loss. In a lot of instances the seller will see this and be willing to work with you on the price better over the loss of a potential sale. If they don’t do anything then you still win because you save you money for something better in the future. If you can show a pic of the gem in question then we might be able to tell you if it is real or not. Also don’t forget the tests. Hardness, faults, paint, ice, ect. </p><p>Good luck with your tests.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
