I didn't know signed pieces was on ebay, but I did a PS search and I guess that is old news. My question is, aren't some of the pieces "used" and therefore the only one in stock? I don't know much about ebay, but how can they have the same item at both places? If someone buys the item on signed pieces site, and the auction is going on at ebay, don't they have to honor the auction? I'm confused. Sorry if I am naive about eBay - but I have read plenty on here warning consumers to stay away when diamond hunting! _______________________ Travel quote of the week: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.

Guess my English major skills aren't as good as I thought... But I am still not clear on how it works on ebay (I don't see the "prior sale" message there). Maybe I'm just brain fried today... _______________________ Travel quote of the week: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.

I'm guessing if someone wins the auction, SP would take it off their site pretty quickly and vice versa. ----------------------------- A deal is only a deal if you are getting exactly what you want.

Their Buy it now price may be higher, but if it goes on regular bidding, it might be a bit cheaper. I'm more than willing to pay a fair price! _______________________ Travel quote of the week: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
