Re: BEWARE ! Opal Video Tricks Scam Editing
Great helpful video. Thanks for sharing. We have to beware of the people who think its the buyers job to discover the tricks of the trade. Pictures without words are even more likely to deceive than lips. To do it all honestly is the easiest way to be in business.
Thanks 53 Frogs too, even if he did not post that here himself. If you are a creator you are missing the boat if you just depend on viewers or shares by them to advertise yourself. There is no substitute for feedback & I was very mad when EBAY erased my Turquoise star for not constantly selling, 100% positive over 100 sales, now nothing....
Anywhere online, or any possible here today gone tomorrow seller, should only be dealt with on a reputation only basis and "great deals" could be "fenced steals" where set in gold does not make it legally obtained first, ie blood diamonds and dirty gold. SO, cost vs being scammed for profits rests on your own skill to evaluate sellers. Personally I have to agree opal is the hardest gemstone to get represented on film, let alone digital and I go to ESTY to see what full retail is.

Hi Mila, I assume you can view it here, and if you want the full link just click to quote the post and copy the number of the video between the YT brackets, which in this case is DGZ3IMScys0
Then go to YT and drop the code in their search box and it should come right up with the full link. I hope that helps.
