DO NOT BUY FROM THIS MEMBER. (purplpixie)
She kept promising to send my box.
She finally sent it 3 hours after I filed a paypal dispute (1 month after I had paid).
She tried very hard to get me to close the dispute after she sent me a picture of the tracking number. I know from experience you cannot reopen a dispute once you have closed it so I told her I would close it after I check out the Bruneau.
I paid for 40 lbs of Bruneau jasper with orbs and got 33 lbs of junk rock.
I have escalated my paypal dispute to try to get a refund.

Sorry you got bit too. In another thread about 1 month ago I think, we figured out that this Purplpixie was the same family that did the rip offs with "Old School Rock Shop". I and several others had a hard time with him. You can see my description of the problems in this thread: forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/thread/66405/old-school-rock-shop-againI don't think Redmond is too far for you to go give them a friendly visit. |

my order of limb casts took quite a bit longer. Had me worried a bit. Also it was a bit shy on the weight for the agreed upon price. Not all that bad of material I thought with the limb casts. She/he sent me a photo of the bruneau. Didn't see any orbs in the pile. Passed on that.

She told me she would pick out ones with orbs or signs of orbs.

That is the same photo she sent me. Kind of hard to see matrix detail in the washed out photo. I told her I couldn't see one orb in the photo and she promised to pick me out a box of pieces with orbs or showing signs of orbs. I was a little concerned with the boitroidal area on the piece in the bottom of the photo but the rest could conceivably be Bruneau.
I knew it was a gamble also but several people had said they stopped by the place and bought good rocks so I thought I would try out her October special.

That sucks that once again someone is scamming. Be sure to do reverse checks on photos to see where they originated if you think it's too good to be true.

Paypal refused her appeal, all is good. Using paypal is a good thing.
