I have a few. Not all jewelry. My favorite two are below.

Non-jewelry:

I bought these gorgeous wool throw pillow covers on ebay for 30 bucks a pop. Come to find out they are designer and handmade and retail for 200 each at Horchow.

Jewelry:
Kraiko clover 1 ctw 18k earrings: bought for 500. Retail for $3,500.

Re: Show us your Fantastic Finds!

I've gotten a few great deals. I've taken some chances on eBay and in pawn shops, and *knock on wood* they've all turned out well for me. To be honest, I'm a bit nervous to post the prices I paid for the best deals I got, because it's so good, I feel like people will think I'm full of crap. So, I'm posting a total for all pieces. I've gotten:
-My soon to be wedding band, a ~1ctw eternity band
-a 1ctw 3 stone ring
-My 1.3 ctw bezels
-My 1ctw princess cut 3 stone

for a total of $1640.

Manderz, I know what you mean. I have found some super crazy deals too. I used to print the listings for proof. So I believe you

First I want to say, I don't know anything at all about diamonds, but I think it's pretty. It's eye clean (atleast to my eyes) and the jeweler I took it to said it was a bit over a carat. I bought this on on eBay last weekend for $249. I'm sorry for the horrible photos, I need a new camera.

Is it worth $250 or should I return it? It's not the greatest under a loop but I don't see any of that at all with out the it. There are feathers and carbon spots under loop though. Not sure if I should keep it.

Awesome find, Gypsy.
There are a lot of amazing finds. Queen of Ebay, Ms. ForteKitty, has a lot, just search through her threads

In the summer of 2011, I bought a yellow diamond suite of a bezel diamond necklace and earrings set totalling 1.34 tcw. It is set in 18k. I paid $1600. Not the best deal but I thought it was a pretty good one. I paid almost that amount for one round stone of my stud earrings of .48 points.
