Mineral Rubies

Gemcrafters

I have five rubies for sale to the highest bidder. I am asking a minimum of 10,000 trueweight gold for each of them, as I have been told they are worth more than this. Please post your bids below. The bidding will remain open for one (//RL) week. I will retain the right not to sell to any party I feel will put the gems to nefarious uses. So as to avoid any appearance of impropriety in manipulating the bidding, no anonymous bids will be accepted.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my sales,

~Drexia

These are now for sale, individually or collectively, for any reasonable offer. I am told they are worth as much or more than diamond. Any or all that remain unsold after a reasonable period of time will be given to the Foundation.

I will give you 10,000 T for the lot.

Ms. Sophia,

I intend to sell these for at least close to what I am told is their value; I am no gem appraiser myself, but I believe the word of those appraisers who I have spoken to. If you care to make an offer that is closer in line to what I have outlined above, I would be happy to sell. While I do not have a bright line in mind for what I will accept, I do not intend to dilute the market by selling far below the appraiser's quote. If that is not satisfactory, I am sure the Foundation will be able to use them.

 10 months they have sat without so much as a bid.  You should fire your appraisers or rethink their modivations.  Bid withdrawn.  Give them to charity rather than than have them worked.

20,000 True for the lot and I'll add that it's twice as much as the only other offer you have had.

These fine gems kin beh used in either rings ter boost ye guts, or as magic cufflinks for the limited edition Garb of the Made Man.  It requires two polished rubies, some leather I forget which, and ah shield amulet like the ones that lass gathering ingots in the other post beh offering.  If ye interested in seeing what the garbs do, lemme know.  They beh a defender's favorite of mine.  Reinforced studded leather with thickness akin ter Grizzly grade protection, with ah good casting of Shield once per day.  They make ye look more intimidating too... tis a great suit for casual wear or in the feild if ye wear lighter armors, and a great feather in yer cap iffn ye makes un.  Good luck on yer biddin lads.  I dun got gold mahself, but ah just couldn't help but do Dorand's will in advertising the usefulness of this foine gem.

Rubies!  Buy em while thar HOT!
