As many of you know My girls mom Passed away from Cancer on June 30th, She is Disabled and on a very fixed Income, I am also semi-disabled and cant work so im trying to do whatever I can to help. I have a Box of Agates that are up for auction, the Box weighs just over 14lb and is a Medinum Flat Rate Priority box. Winner pays Shipping plus final bid, Shipping on this box will be $17.10 according to the USPS. Full disclosure, these are the best of the Agates I have, some have druzy pockets, some are agatized Sea Sponge, and I was told by a couple of people that they are Crowley's Ridge Agates but a couple said they did not think that they were, so I know they are Agates at least lol. Most are tumble size, a couple of them are big enough you might be able to cut them on a trim saw. Bidding starts at 15.00 for just over 14lbs. I will let the Bidding go until Monday July 17th Payment By Paypal.  |

I think better photos would help. Maybe some shots of individual rocks.
That’s a nice thing you are doing.

Yeah, some of those look really nice! Maybe you could get a few shots of a couple of the fortified ones wet?
I'll start it at 15. I don't even tumble, but some of those look really promising!

I don't work with agates and couldn't work with that agate bomb in my lifetime. I have been attending the Highland Park rough webinars and have seen a LOT of agates. Your box would go for over $1,000 there.

Sorry I just discovered this - I've been consumed by work the past few weeks. vance71975 what time specifically does the auction end tomorrow? I apologize especially to dillonf and anyone who is planning on sniping it tomorrow but it's a great box of rocks and an even better cause so I'm bumping and announcing it to make sure the rock tumbling folks see it. |
