PLEASE CLICK ON OUR STORES ICON BANNER BY MY NAME TO SEE THOUSANDS OF OTHER ITEMS THAT ARE NOT IN AUCTION. I AM A GRADUATE GEMOLOGIST SCHOOLED AT THE G.I.A. AS WELL AS A CURRENT MEMBER OF THE A.N.A. & N.A.J.A. SO BE ASSURED YOU ARE GETTING AN ACCURATE EVALUATION. PLEASE UNDERSTAND, IF YOU ARE THE HIGH BIDDER WHEN THIS AUCTION ENDS YOU NEED TO RESPOND WITHIN 3 DAYS. ALL RESIDENTS OF CALIFORNIA PLEASE ADD 7.50% SALES TAX. SHIPPING AND INSURANCE WILL BE $15.00 OR 35.00 OUT OF THE U.S.A.THANKS, WE SUGGEST PAYMENT TO BE MADE BY CASHIERS CHECK OR MONEY ORDER SO WE CAN SHIP THE  NEXT DAY. PLEASE, NO PERSONAL CHECKS AND WE DO NOT PROCESS CREDIT CARDS DIRECTLY. YOU MUST GO THRU PAYPAL IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE A CREDIT CARD . FEEL FREE TO CALL, MICHAEL 760-328-9121 ALL PAYPAL PURCHASES WILL ONLY BE SHIPPED TO CONFIRMED ADRESSES AND MUST BE VERIFIED ACCOUNTS  , HOWEVER, WE WILL ACCEPT POSTAL MONEY ORDERS. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE BIDS FROM BIDDERS WITH POOR FEEDBACK RECORDS.              Check out my other items!       DUE TO THE OVERWHELMING VOLUME OF MAIL, I PAY A SHIPPING COMPANY $10 (MINIMUM) TO TAKE CARE OF MY PRIORITY AND REGISTERED MAILING NEEDS AND I BELIEVE THEY CHARGE A REASONABLE PRICE FOR THEIR EXTREME SPEED AND CARE IN THEIR WORK!
     THIS ALLOWS ME TO MAINTAIN MY PRICES AT A WHOLESALE LEVEL, SINCE I AM AVAILABLE TO ACQUIRE COLLECTIBLES AND POST BARGAINS ON EBAY AND NOT SPEND MY TIME IN THE SHIPPING ROOM AND AT THE POST OFFICE.  I WISH THERE WAS ENOUGH TIME IN THE DAY TO PACK AND SHIP ON MY OWN!!
     AFTER MANY EXPERIMENTS I DECIDED THIS WOULD ULTIMATELY KEEP MY PRICES LOWER!
      I REALIZE THAT SOME OF YOU MIGHT FIND MY SHIPPING PRICES HIGHER THAN YOU WOULD LIKE. 
I DECIDED THAT ALL MY ITEMS WOULD BE SHIPPED BY PRIORITY MAIL, AS I FEEL IT IS IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO RECEIVE THEIR ITEMS PROMPTLY!
(THERE CAN BE A BIG ENOUGH DELAY WITH THE MAIL AND CHECK CLEARING TIMES).
    THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR VIEWING MY AUCTIONS!
     I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR SOME OF YOU BUT PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY!
         I CAN'T PHYSICALLY DO IT ALL!!    PLEASE BID ACCORDINGLY
   SINCERELY,
MIKE
