This is to cover all fees, and expenses from incomplete auction sale or Pay Pal sale fees you might incur for us, and plain wasting our effort. : ) Just be fair and honest, that's how we get by, and it should be a fine deal for a cutter with a bit of experience. As I did tell Wayne our most kind host, we have a faceting machine and some lapidary items that I could and would put up (last year), so it's here as I said I would. ( A bit slow , yet here she is at last.) This is worth having or I would not have kept it , if need be I am fairly certain that I could run a little business with only cutting gemstones on her. Can you? Pick up the items I suggested and start faceting something beautiful and profitable. With this 8" Lap size , & some ready to drop on, pre charged laps as mentioned above (ez to use), a tighten or alter of the (on & off) switch, as I mentioned up top, and you should be ready to try out your first test cut gem. Thank You for visiting
Cheers,
Opalship
