[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 512396, member: 1916"] What types of stones are you looking for Mark ? I like to eyeball stones I buy and gem shows are a good way to do this. The prices I have paid for a few eye clean or great coloured stones still shock me today, even though I do look around to gauge the market. I always reference market price as $/ct for different stone types and have researched the internet shops to get a feel for market price Of course, the actual market price is the $/ct that changes hands, if you dont offer something for consideration, it wont be considered, or counter offered. Would you take.... is a good lead in question. Best deals I have made have been for stones fossicked by the owners of faceting gear and included with the sale, cheapest ones have been lying in the dirt, discarded by Mother Nature. [/QUOTE]
