Hi, everyone. I really need to liquidate my collection!

I created a listing on Craigslist so that anyone who is interested in what I have available for sale. Here is the link to the Craigslist post so that I can be contacted. When you contact me, please include your Pricescope username and the stone or stones that you are interested in. I can provide additional photos and videos of each stone via email and I will discuss payment via email as well. All of these items are being sold for significantly less than what I paid for and I can negotiate with PSers. them. https://newjersey.craigslist.org/jwl/d/park-ridge-loose-gemstones-for-sale/7770790690.html

Please create an actual listing elsewhere per the policies not just a post to contact you.
 
@Ella The post is a for sale post on Craigslist with information and prices. Is it not an actual listing?

Please create an actual listing elsewhere per the policies not just a post to contact you.

Apologies, not sure what happened but when I clicked on it before it was just a “psers contact me” post. You’re all set now.
 
Goodness. These are all amazing pieces. I hate to see you selling some of these rare gems for such low prices as the market has gone wild in the last few years and it is soooo expensive to buy them new. I suppose that is how things go on the secondary market sometimes.
 
The tourmaline ring has sold.
 
Messaged you!
 
I also messaged
 
Messaged you too. :wavey:
