General Comments
It never ceases to amaze me how some discount consumers express anger with the poor quality of their purchases. Furthermore, doing so in the ratings/feedback/and/or review sections and basing scores upon such! I'm a bargain-hound myself, and have no expectations beyond the parameters of reality. Those who pay for a value meal at McD's are not entitled to a prime rib with their fries. Buying a ticket in the nosebleed section does not entitle you to sit next the fellow who bought front row seats. It doesn ' t even entitle you to a view (according to the arenas) much less have the same view/service as the patrons who spent more. Why do we feel entitled to pay less for the same item as than the other guy? Bidz is indeed, the nosebleed section of the jewelry world. Exercising common sense and arming yourself with a little research before hand, should protect you from disappointment.

I disagree with this review because I did due diligence and they assured me that the opals would have good fire in them. In fact, the opal were pure white milk with virtually no fire. The price I paid was not very far off of what better appearing opals were being sold for on eBay.
Finally, they cheat you on postage and restocking fees, so when they sell you junk and you don't want it, it costs you plenty to return it. They still make a profit and you are left with a bill and disappointment. Don't criticize people who are cheated by this bad company. If you notice the spelling and grammar or those who like the company, you will notice their intelligence is suspect.
