merricks_girl merricks_girl Connoisseur Registered: 01/25/08 Posts: 1467	I had a ring on my watch list and it was ending last night...The photos were nice, and description says there are very few inclusions for this sized stone. A couple of hours before it ended, I sent a question to the seller saying that I understood there were inclusions but was the stone was more translucent or opaque since it was hard to tell from the photos (looks fairly translucent from photos). Didn't hear back before it ended and decided to bid, and I won. So then I get the invoice from the seller and a second email with a response from them saying, essentially, there are many noticeable inclusions and I hope you don't want to buy it because my son wants it. I haven't responded yet... $;\)$ Is it seller's remorse or a crappy piece?! They do have a return policy - should I just go ahead and get it and return it if it's kakapoopy?

I don't like it when I get an uneasy feeling about a transaction.

diamondgirl3660 diamondgirl3660 Afficionado Registered: 10/23/07 Posts: 555 Loc: rochester, ny	If it were me, I would guess she didnt like the price it sold for. I would pay for it (paypal funded with a credit card) and see how it looks. Even if she balks when you want to return it, you have PP on your side. If she doesnt want to sell it, I would report her for non-performance. I hate when sellers say "sorry it broke" or some other excuse when you know darn well they just wanted more money!! Moral of the seller story? Dont start your list price at anything less then what you will accept/want!!! _________________________ "Cleaning the house while the kids are growing is like shoveling snow while it is snowing"
