Parcel deals are popular with wholesalers or re sellers, as the opals are wholesale-priced to resell as is or to be made into jewelry.
Most are solid, natural opal but please check the description on each listing. Shipping is generally cheaper on opal parcel deal lots and many prices are close-out deals, ranging from rough opals to polish.
Opalauctions has one of the highest percentages of repeat users, because all prices are verified wholesale.
You also can start your own Opal business by buying parcel dealers and selling at home via party plans to local markets or start your own internet site as many buyers have.
Rough opal parcel deals are ideal for opal cutters and many buyers have their known cutting and polishing equipment.
One buyer takes his cutting machine to local markets and buyers are interested in watching an opal being cut and polished.
He has an interesting system as after doing an opal cutting demonstration he has a tray of opals that he purchased from OpalAuctions and says these have just been cut but he has not displayed them yet and often gets buyers to buy an opal from these parcel lots before he displays them in boxes on his table
Many successful buyers have purchased parcel lots and made their own distinct jewelry to resell
