why buying diamonds on eBay is a bad idea

[cinnabar]

Seller asks "How can I tell if the diamonds in the ring I am selling are cloudy or clear? A potential buyer wanted to know."

eBay discussion board (Jewelry) thread

Apparently if the diamonds are sparkly, then they''re clear. Glad we''ve sorted that one out.

LOL That was funny. Well not so for the buyer asking

OMG I JUST FELL OVER LAUGHING!!! I can understand there's different levels of education in diamonds, but shouldn't EVERYONE know the difference between cloudy and clear??? I mean, come on, if you don't know the difference, you shouldn't even be selling it or even calling it a diamond!

Here's the ring they're trying to sell, I think:

You should read the listing too. Totally clueless.. I doubt it will sell for much, if at all.

Umm, is that a diamond in the middle or an opal?
