Calling experts, what would you pay for this Emerald cut?

Hi All,
The other day I had asked about an EC but it looks like that vendor (on ebay) wasn't going to be the easiest to work with so I passed it up. I've got a few other stones in mind but one in particular that I actually was able to see in person yesterday won me over. The stone is gorgeous! It's already set but I actually really like the setting, however I may reset it into my dream setting down the road. This is going to be our 5 year anniversary upgrade (currently I have a 1.54 H SI1 asscher)

I don't want to post too much info on here just in case of lurkers, and since I saw it in person I can say the stone is beautiful but I really want thoughts regarding costs. It's on consignment (and has been for 6+ months) so I think I have some room to negotiate.

2.73
J (this was my main concern since I now have an H, but I'm so happy that I hardly noticed the J/warmth at all)
VVS2
9.78 x 7.30 x 4.44 (I was worried it might be shallow but to my eyes it preformed amazingly, even next to my very well cut asscher), it was super bright and fiery
Polish VG
Symmetry G
Florescence None
Table 71.0%
Depth 60.8%
Medium culet

It's currently set in a platinum setting w/ 2 tapered baguettes

Here' are a few comps I've found:

this one is slightly smaller but w/ better color

this one is a K but everything else is very similar. This price seems extremely low though

better color but lower clarity


Any thoughts on what this stone should cost?

Thanks so much!

I think the price with online stores are always good but if you are looking for better price that what you see than maybe
companies like B2C Jewels can provide you that as they are known for the better pricing, I see one stone there which may suit
you:

Thanks Sakari, that's the same diamond Union Diamond has in inventory as well, which I linked to Great price on that one.

BTW - I forgot to mention the stone I'm looking at does have a GIA cert.

Re: Calling experts, what would you pay for this Emerald cut

There are a few emerald experts on this forum. Do you have the crown height of the stone? Also, I understand you don't want to post too much info for fear of lurkers but can you put the stone on hold and then post about it? If not, can you post just a picture (crop out an identifying information if you're worried)? From the threads I've read, you can't judge an EC on numbers alone.
