Sure thing. Just 50% vig (interest) and you put up collateral, like the pink slip to your car or a second mortgage on your house. Guido and Sal will be stopping by with all the papers and the loan money.

I've not seen collawood before. That's some amazing looking material, but $3000?

I've not seen collawood before. That's some amazing looking material, but $3000? It was shipping from Turkey for a few months, took the industry by storm. Then the turk government stopped export. Don't know under what conditions. That piece there is particularly nice for.

I never really got the appeal of Colla Wood. Sure, it's gorgeous, but way overpriced. ($3000 for about 3.6 kg? $833/kg? I'll stick to my nice, cheap, Pietersite! )

Pretty, but I'll pass on even staring at it. I'm too poor too look at this rock.

Holy Moley!!!!!! I'd rather have that colla wood- looks like a bargain now. LOL! I've seen that seller a lot over the years. He always wants too much and usually has crap.

You'd think for the asking price of $8K, he could afford to pay the $7.20 for shipping it to you.
Definitely not my kind of eBay seller.

Seriously, somebody's on major drugs with these prices. Or they are expecting that someone on major drugs would pay these prices.
Besides, I will take Woodward/Walker Ranch Plume or Marfa Bouquet over the Carey Plume any day. (or is that too much a homer of me)
