To the other bidder for the 3ct grey-blue spinel from Tan:

[dzop]

I irrationally like the stone, so if you're going to win the auction you're going to have to bid high.

Bring it on.

That is all.

do you have a link?

 

[chrono]

Re: To the other bidder for the 3ct grey-blue spinel from Ta

Rparker,
I'm sure in this case, it is better not to share the link until after the bidding is over. It stands to reason to keep the URL under wraps so that lurkers will not kick up the price higher than it is worth.

I can understand that...It just sounded familiar to me.....no worries

I'm one of the other bidders. Good luck to you.

The big grey one with a slight tinge of grey deluding itself into believing it to be bluish?
Perhaps after a re-cut it could be a sparklier grey.

Yep. I like grey-blue stones, as long as they're not inky. This one is turbid and grey, but it's an open grey. It's sort of a periwinkle.

I look forward to the last 5 minutes on this one, when everyone swoops in. Will the price exceed $20/ct?

Don't worry, the silk doesn't make it look like a Kashmir sapphire. Not loving the color, but I like the size and shape of it. Decent cutting for a non-precision cut gem.

Ah, heck with it:

I will say this: I have a max price in mind that I'm going to swoop in with right at the end of the bidding, so, bidder beware

Re: To the other bidder for the 3ct grey-blue spinel from Ta

aw c'mon,
I only said the grey thing to make the lurkers think it not worth checking out. But with you posting the link you are shooting yourself in the wallet.

 

[brandy_z28]

Re: To the other bidder for the 3ct grey-blue spinel from Ta

Dang dzop, put it all out there... LOL

I also have a max price in mind so there won't be a bidding war on my end. I've had my sniper set for a few days now and that is the highest that I'm willing to go. I won't be watching it so there's no temptation to go higher. Seriously though, good luck to you and hopefully someone on PS will win it and post pics.

Meh, when I originally posted, I thought that the stone was too grey and murky for the taste of most on this board, and I was betting that there was one person bidding on it who didn't realize how much I liked it and was just going to push-push-push me and lose anyways...but once I realized that half the board was looking at it, I figured it wouldn't go for a bargain anyways and it might as well be the best "man" wins.

I'm bidding $38.10.

dzop I could kill you! I've also got a snipe on this! Oh well, you can bet a lurker will be along to add a few zeros to the price!

Maybe said lurker will get stuck with it too. Now wouldn't that be funny!

The great spinel war of 2010!

Is the bidding war over yet? Did any PSer win it? Did Tan get “rich”?

Re: To the other bidder for the 3ct grey-blue spinel from Ta

Just under 17 hours til the end of the great '2010 spinel bidding' war

May the best bidder win !


ETA. Its too sleepy a stone for me, so I will have fun instead watching the "war"

Ditto! Too gray and sleepy for me too, but at least it isn’t overly dark and is a decent size. 17 hours is a long time yet so I’m sure we’ll see the price spike up during the last hour, with possibly some frenzy bidding at the last minute (literally).

Up over $100 now...how high will it go? Only I (and a few others) know...

It is so tempting... only if the cut is better...

Re: To the other bidder for the 3ct grey-blue spinel from Ta

I went and found it myself before realizing you had posted a link!

Glad to know I guessed right.

Don't worry, not competition, just curious to see the result
