Tis the season to be Merry...Fa La La La La La La la La
Well folks..there are a lot of last minute shoppers out there.
So, in the Spirit of Giving...and not too early...I am offering up for bidding the following:
A 'real' African Ruby, reddish pink. Heat treated as are 99% of all rubies. Color is beautiful. This would make any woman very happy for the holidays when placed in a nice ring or pendant setting. If it was worth thousands..it would be internally flawless, well, its not. Gemstones come in all sizes and grades. The market dictates the average selling price. This gemstone is worth retail about $75.00 minimum.
And there is more... Whoever bids the winning bid..will get a 'real' surprise...you might think you are seeing 'double'. Perhaps too much Christmas Cheer.(lol)
So, the bidding begins with ....(drum roll).. 99cents. (lol) That's 99 US Pennies.
As always..the contest can end and will end at any time. Within the hour..within a week.
Good luck..and remember..if you are not happy..your money is 100% refundable.
Peace Be With You

Cappy,
I have been away awhile and it looks like I came back right on time. I bid $2.00 to get the bidding going.

I counted all my pennies and even found a few dimes in the seat cushions of my couch (my wife won't let me have any cash). I came up with
$8.98 and a Chuckee Cheese token.

$12.00 for the twelve days of Christmas, and if I had a partridge in a pear tree I'd throw that in also.
Merry Christmas everyone!

In case anyone is wondering I bid $12.00 because Cappy told me he couldn't except my previous bid of 7 opals, because it was a cash bid only. I see Treasure_Hunter has already beat my bid, good on him! Lets get into the spirit of the season, and show Cappy some Christmas cheer!
Hohoho,
