And if that is you, I'm sure that place knows the difference between a $2,000 ring and one they can list buy it now for $35.
Yes, I actually was emailing the guy before I knew he used ebay. I came accross his ebay store and emailed him with questions. immediately took top bid on that ring and another one as well. Like I said, he's a bulk dealer. he put's the value at $100. I have since had offers from two collectors whom I contacted with photos to see if it were real, and the highest offer was 2800. It is all in what they know about the history of the ring. i learned alot from one of the collectors i spoke to about this particular ring that the seller doesn't know.

I highly recommend this particular seller. He has some real Gems that he is not willing to do the research to find, he's happy with his $30-$65.

Also If you can grab a Key Ring for under $100 between size 7-10 you will steal it. But it's all relevant. To someone who knows about the markings and can identify certain markings to date items they are worth more. To another guy it's a bronze roman soldier's ring. To some who know the story, it's a whole lot more...

I'm watching a few other items, now everyone on this fuckin board is going to be driving the bids up...thanks for outing me
