Found my absolute dream stone on gem rock auctions (of all places)!
Seller was extremely responsive (I decided to contact him through instagram). He is extremely transparent, has AIGS certification on this stone that can be checked online (all descriptions link up with what has been certified), has given me a very straightforward price ($1200 per ct), very clear on shipping, is happy to accept returns, and has 100% positive feedback on over 1200 sales on gemrockauctions. He is also a verified seller.
I am a complete novice. I want to buy a wholesale sapphire so I can get more bang for my buck. But I don't want to be ripped off! My biggest concerns is that the stone is real and verified, but I won't be sent the real stone, but rather a fake.
The seller assured me that I can pay through PayPal which has buyers protection. Meaning that funds aren't released until I receive and am satisfied with the stone, and have the cover to withdraw those funds if I can prove that the stone is not as described/return it. I intend on taking it to an expert as soon as I receive it to verify.
Is buying any expensive stone from gemrockauctions a complete rip-off, or can I actually do this?
