I'm trolling ebay mostly, but is it just a bad time of year or what? Prices seem way too high on what I'm seeing. And I'm not seeing very much. I'm lurking and stalking every single day too. I find something possibly worth enquiring for more details, then I look up the seller on toolhaus and am completely turned off sometimes. I've watched several auctions "live" and have been amazed at what people will snipe to at the last second. Are prices on old stones going up, or is it just the time of year. I was hoping to find something around .75-.95 for under $2000. So far no luck. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed a lack of "inventory" and ridiculous asking prices.
I don't know my criteria, although I didn't want to dip down too far in colour. My ER is a K so I thought I might try going up. I tend to like high clarity too, although I'm not opposed to small nicks on a girdle (or one nick) as long as the cut is nice. I prefer transitionals, but those are impossible. Not impossible at any price, but seriously, $6-8K for one carat or a bit less is ridiculous!
