Questions from other members : Michael Jackson's Diamond Wedding
Ring to Debbie Rowe
Most recent replies first:
Q: Congratulations it took a very brave person to continue with all the nastiness you had to put up over the last 10 days. Unfortunately I didn't have the money to bid on your lovely ring, but wish you all the best with selling it. Take care and remember the idiots are a small number of ebayers, not the majority.
Mar-08-05
A: I realized that and will continue to watch you all in the art of e-bay
Q: Hi Deb, Sorry to see it didn't go out here. We were all watching it and I really thought someone would jump at the chance to have it. At least you posted it so it could be seen and appreciated by a such huge audience. Maybe you'll now get some SERIOUS interest, off the site. Sorry you had to 'shovel through the crap', but at the end of the day, stupidity makes for good humor!! Everyone sends their love, You know who
Mar-08-05
A: there will hopefully be much joy and laughter for everyone, thanks
Q: Hi Debbie! Sorry to see that you are closing the auction early....I just wanted to say that I think you are the luckyest person in the world because you knew Michael so personally. As a big fan I empathize with Michael alol. But I respect your privacy and I wish you the best of luck. Regards, Alexandra
Mar-08-05
A: thanks you are a rare and treasured fan I'm sure
Q: Cheers all around, well.... maybe not for you but I broke open some bubbly today. Anyway, since your having such a nice day and I'm still in a sharing mood, Michael gave me a VERY NICE ring when we got married. The Real Mrs. Michael J. Jackson, (SABAH)
Mar-08-05
A: time to increase your lithium now---does Michael know that his wife is dating? He does now
Q: Debbie, I just wanted to say that I am appalled at the actions of some of the people that have nothing better to do with their time than to send you those nasty comments, they really do lead a lonely life, Or should I say no life. Continue to stay strong and postive. I wished that I could have placed a bid on the ring, it looks very beautiful. If I read correctly, Congratulations are in order that someone did purchase the ring? That would be the cherry on top of all this, that they tried but failed in their quest to ruin it for you. If you plan to place anything else up for bid, let me know. T
Mar-08-05
A: they tried, they failed I won............good for me
Q: Dearest Debbie, I am stunned to see the ring is no longer listed. I am truly sorry for all these people who have the audacity to make this uneventful for you and shame on them! I think you have a beautiful heart and are a very kind unselfish lady to only want nothing but joy for someone else to wear it as you have. My prayers are with you, D.
Mar-08-05
A: thank you, but judging by the bidders that appeared, I doubt that will happen.
Q: Dear Debbie, Just want to say I have been watching and God Bless you and your Children! Take Care! Here's to happier times, Sharon
Mar-08-05
A: thank you
Q: oh my god i cant believe u have sod the ring and i didnt get a chance to bid!!!!!!!!!!! u said i could go on the list , and just because people dont spend great amounts on e bay it doesnt mean they have no money , distraught joanne jones nice buns big baps in bolton uk
Mar-08-05
A: I'm sorry joanne, we had to shut the auction down, but if it is any consolation, your name was added to the preapproved list. I think there is a way to check, I don't know how, but there have been so many helpful members that can help. I think that the members are one of the largest assets that e-bay has and I know they are appreciated by e-bay, I have been told so.

Teddy from France.
Mar-08-05
A: Thank you Teddy, I'm sure this was hard to write and very personal. Thank you for sharing it with me. I thinik the fans are too quick in making their judgements. Everyone deserves their day in court when on trialin a courrt of law or not

Mar-08-05
A: I hope you weren't one of the nasty ones, and if you are, can you cut me some slack until everything is over? THanks
Q: Hey Debbie, This is Ali Dowran again. I don't know why you won't write to me. Maybe you are busy. But you answer everyone elses messages. Oh well, what can I do. I can only ask, Please write back to me at least telling me you got my message. I just wanted to talk to you. Im a highschool student in Canada for gods sake....I told my Mother that I had sent you a message and she told me "Debbie might think thatyour some nuts person stalking her" <<
Mar-08-05
A: I didn't mean to ignore you, I was inundated with mail and missed quite a few. I am sorry. I have school and horses and dogs to care for and it makes a really full day. I can't wait for the time change so there is more daylight to get things done. I,m sorry I over looked you, it was not intentional. And I LOVE Canada
Q: Sorry to see the action end. I my self did not have the money to bid, on this but was watching to see the outcome. Wish I did have the money! Its a shame it ended the way it did. Also sorry to see all the negative remarks on here. Until someone has walked in someone elses shoes they need to keep the negative remarks to themselves. Best of luch to you! Angel
Mar-08-05
A: thanks Angel
Q: Ms Rowe, Im not sure if you will got this or not but, it is truly a sad day when you can't even sell something without being harassed, I have been watching your auction out of morbid curiosity. The ring is beautiful!!! I just wanted to let you know I am not a Jackson fan or foe, but I am a mother and I know it takes TWO parents to raise happy children! It seems as though some of the people responding to you auction are not parents. I say good luck to you getting you children! After all we as spectators can only go but the tabloids and gossip shows, you and Mr. Jackson are really the ones who know the true deal. Good Luck to you!!!! I am sorry to seel that you had to end the auction I enjoyed watching it, and reading the questions!!! You are an extremely strong woman to deal with all that you have! Again good luck and god bless.
Mar-08-05
A: thank you for your thoughts
Q: I just want to say all the best to you and your family Debbie. So sorry this did not work out. Best of luck in the future. Sincerely, Tracy
Mar-08-05
A: thank you Tracy
Q: Dear Debbie, Sorry to see that you've had to terminate your auction early. I hope this has been the result of a successful transaction, & not the result of your disgust with this venture. I myself have enjoyed many positive experiences with eBay. This enterprise was founded on good faith & relies on human decency to survive. It could not have succeeded unless the majority of its members shared this philosophy & played fair. It is unfortunate that the opportunists in our community have soured your experience, but most of us would never have considered behaving so shamefully. People really are good-for the most part. I hope you can still believe that & keep the faith. Good luck to you. Sincerely, Susan Todd
Mar-08-05
A: Thanks for your message. E-bay is a class act and it is unfortunate for them that they hav also been exposed to what has happened. I have kept all the e-mails and have plans for them. Be well.
Q: Wow Debbie! Sorry to see that the auction didn't go well for you. I feel bad that there is so much scum in the world, and no matter how much you scrape it off the top, it always comes back. Much luck to you in selling the ring.
Mar-08-05
A: already did thanks
Q: Debbie, just as an observation. In the Q&A that has been posted, you refer to the center diamond as being VS1, however your listing has the center listed as SI1. You may want to post a clarification in the actual auction text (as you did with the bidder change). I din't think the rated value of the stone will ultimately determine this auction - why short change yourself with an SI1 listing - Good Luck!
Mar-08-05
A: you are talking about 2 different stones the center stone and the accent stones....
Q: E-bay needs to be stong on removing from E-bay those fake bidders.
Mar-08-05
A: they have been
Q: hey there just a quick note to all the losers who are trying there very best to disrupt debbies life, deal with it, get a life of your own good luck debbie all my best to michael backing you guys 100%
Mar-08-05
A: loser is the operative word here
Q: tell everyone they can go to bid history to see who the junk bidders are and good luck with your sale what is the size of the band
Mar-08-05
A: Thanks for the info
Q: Hi Debbie! I really feel bad for you having to go through all this and end up at 0 bids! I would love to know which ones harrased you so that I may block them from ever bidding on anything I have for sale and I will be blocking the idiots that bid for the fun of it. What is the matter with these kind of people that enjoy this kind of behaviour. Don't they know that it only shows how misserable, immature and insecure they really are. Duh!!! hello???? Wishing you nothing but the best!
Mar-08-05
A: I will ask e-bay if I can post them on this is site....if not, I will post them on a webiste in the future
Q: What is the reserve price? And do you have a list of all the previous bidders who obviously weren't serious? I just want to be sure and avoid them!!!
Mar-08-05
A: you can ask e-bay
Q: No question here, but I bet that ring is bigger than MJ's shlong.
Mar-08-05
A: you might know given the name you've given yourself
Q: Hi Debbie, Just to wish you good luck in selling the ring. I've always liked you and how you've shown support to Michael Jackson. I would have considered bidding if the proce was around £50k, but it seems to be going higher and higher. Is it true you are testifying AGAINST michael jackson in this case? I hope it isn't so, but good luck in selling your ring anyway. Pete
Mar-07-05
A: glad someone remembers the past. The bids that have been placed have been fake, and therefore, things will be chaning. Should you wish to be on the list, please let me know and I will add you. Thanks
Q: Anything to make a quick buck I guess huh?? First you are a surrogate womb who sold her children off, now when the money has stopped coming in (apparently), you are usashamedly pawning off something you claim has great 'sentimental' value... I've always thought Michael was nothing but a freak... I can see you are not much better. Good luck in your quest to sell this ring that symbolized nothing but a farce.... This is worse then a circus show!!
Mar-07-05
A: yet you feel compelled to watch for the outcome....stay tuned
Q: Hey Debbie, make sure to tell Sam he needs to get his own life. A phony bidder is a phony bidder. It dosn't matter Michael Jackson or John Doe.
Mar-07-05
A: OK Sam phoney is phoney better you than me
Q: Hi Debbie. My name iz Za Lupa. What real cost of this ring? I wish to buy this ring as soon as possible. What your "buy it now" price? Can you call me? This is my number 214-594-2200
Mar-07-05
A: there is no "buy now" price, the sale is an auction. I will be happy to add your name to the bidders list
Q: Before I certify myself as a bidder, I am concerned about privacy after the sale, do you plan on being discret as I would like to stay out of the limelight. Also, I would like to say I am sad that you find yourself in a position of having to part with such a special item. I two would be very upset to me if I had to part with mine. Adding others to my inventory however, is fun...As silly as this sounds, I would like to say good luck to you and no one out in the world should judge your choices, as we are Americans and freedom of choice is what my husband, sons and friends have fought for. God gave us all free will. And you should be free to use yours as you see fit with no explanations to anyone. Could you just imagine how wonderful it would be if we all lived our lives without interference from judgemental know it alls? Again, good luck on this auction and I do hope it goes according to the rules and you have an outcome you can live with when it's done. debby
Mar-07-05
A: privacy is up to you. If you want the publicity it will be available to you if not, then the utmost descretion will be provided
Q: ALL YOU PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO ARE FALSE BIDDERS SHOULD GET A LIFE YOU WOULD NOT DO THIS TO ANY OTHER E BAYER. IF YOUR NOT SERIOUS ( SIMPLE ) DONT BID IF YOU DO I THINK E BAY SHOULD STRIKE YOU ALL OFF. SORRY DEBBIE I KNOW THIS IS NOT A FORUM BUT ITS DISGUSTING WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING. BEST WISHES SAM
Mar-07-05
A: thanks sam
Q: hello Debbie ! Can you send your nice Ring in Russia ? Would you like some Russian have it? I can pay via paypal . thank you very much ! Vera Osokina , from Russia - with love!
Mar-07-05
A: I can send to Russia, but I am not using paypal
Q: Hello Debbie, I would like to be placed on the approved bidder list. I am seriously considering bidding on this item. Of course I do not know what the reserve price is, but hopefully it's not over what I am willing to spend. Please call 410-292-0226 if you have any questions. Mike Wireless Zone
Mar-07-05
A: I need proof from the bank that you can pay what you are going to bid. Thanks
Q: hello! Can you send this Ring to Germany? Or USA only? Thank´s! Bye Steffi
Mar-07-05
A: I can ship it anywhere
Q: Hi Debbie, I wish you luck on this sale..I hope you can get your kids back. If I were you, I'd tell my attorney, not to accept any escrow accts., the payment can be cancelled online, I would only accept cashier's check...just trying to help. Coastlady54
Mar-07-05
A: the account is through my attny. Cashier checks is all that is being accepted. Thanks
Q: Hello. Thank you for your message asking me about my bid on this item. I thought that your message was a hoax at first, because I haven't entered a bid on this item. I don't know how this happened. I just returned fromm vacation, and found these messages. Please be assured that I did not bid on this item, and I am not interested in bidding on it, because I can't afford an item this expensive. I will report this to Ebay and ask them to attempt to determine how this happened. Again, thank you very much for bringing this to my attention.
Mar-07-05
A: thank you
Q: Hi Debbie, also please be careful about Escrow accounts. Make sure you do much research with escrow companies. Sometimes scammers set up fake escrow companies on the net and then they recommend to use their fake escrow company. Here is a link with some useful information: http://www.plasmatvbuyingguide.com/plasmat...ctionscams.html <http://www.plasmatvbuyingguide.c ... neauctionscams.html> Good luck!!! P.S. Please don't put this on your 'Ask Seller a Question' page. Thank you, J.
Mar-06-05
A: This account is through my lawyer, but thank you for your warnings and advice
Q: Just wanted to wish you luck and I have notice that the ring was up to 150.000.00 and now it's back to 103.000.00. What happen? Good luck in selling this beatiful ring. Have a great day,Cindy
Mar-06-05
A: Thanks Cindy, give ya one guess. You got it. Those spoofers are out having a hay day and now I think that they have heard from E-bay that it isn't the way e-bay does business and I think a number of members are going to be suspended. Ebay is watchin this account and all the letters so they will have a record of all the spoofers. so time for them to beware...cuz I dont' care.
Q: Hey just wondering how many hits (unique visitors) you are getting. It seems that the counter at the bottom is either turned off or only you can view it. Perhaps you would ask eBay to turn it on for you. I think you might could see a record number of hits before its over, not that it matters. Its just fun to know.
Mar-06-05
A: too many are so insignificant
Q: Why do you not have a picture of a gemological laboratory certificate posted for this ring? You are asking a lot of money for a "The center round brilliant cut diamond measures approx. 8.32-8.40x5.00mm, weight is 2.13 carats, clarity average is SI1, color is F" per your description. One of the large on line diamond suppliers offers a 2.15 ct (a tad bigger than your center stone) F color, SI1 clarity with very good cut, polish and symmetry for $21,797. The remainder of the ring still does not make it come close to your opening bid amount much less whatever your reserve is. Using Michael's name to gain a large profit is shameful! Guess you won't be adding this e-mail to your item descripton. jd
Mar-06-05
A: you're just repeating it and since it is such a great stone......worth repeating Thanks
Q: Hi Debbie.. I was wondering if NO ONE on Ebay meets your price will you put it back up for auction>> Or is this a one shot only thing?? Just curious.. By the way it IS a beautiful ring. Thanks for your time..
Mar-06-05
A: not sure yet, thanks
Q: Indeed that is what I was asking Debbie, at what price would you be prepared to close this listing. I am happy to provide references and perhaps fly to the US and meet either you or your representative - happy to conclude at your bankers. regards
Mar-06-05
A: meet the reserve
Q: Dear Debbie, the one thing that is really annoying me about you is that you act like the victim. Saying you dont want to sell the ring because it has alot of 'sentimental value' to you. But you would not have to sell the ring if you did not try to get Michael Jacksons children off him which caused him to stop your money. Do all of us a favour and get a real job! Michael is a fantastic father and deserves his children unlike you who's willing to give them up for money! Michael Jackson is innocent and it will be proved!
Mar-06-05
A: If you people would quit attacking me for NO reason and knowing absolutely NOTHING about any situation, I am a victim of your ignorance shame you choose to show it publically. Keep reading those academic papers that are refered to as tabloids.
Q: Debbie, could I ask the question everyone wants to ask? Why sell on ebay and not christies or sotherbys or something? It's nice to see someone as well known as yourself being honest and using their own name etc but judging by the amount of nonsensical emails you are getting I can understand why so many celebrities who use ebay have pseudo names to protect their identity. I guess in your case, dealing with this personally as it seems you are, futher authenticates the ring in my opinion. All the best, I hope you reach your target.
Mar-06-05
A: why have someone else do it? I thought about it, why hide the name? looks like I might be hiding something. But thanks for your advice.
Q: tell michael i love him and he has my support 110%
Mar-06-05
A: will do
Q: hi debbie,ive never actually spoken to a *celeb* before, im just saying hi, to see if you reply. all the best in the future, vinny.
Mar-06-05
A: Thanks Vinny, but I NOT the celeb........never have been never wanted to be. I've tried to reply to the normal e-mails.
Q: Dear Debbie, It appears that the diamond has a slight pink color to it. Is that the true color or is it just my faulty eyes. It is a beautiful diamond, just curious about that
Mar-06-05
A: No pink, the center stone is rated F in color
Q: Debbie maybe you should ask ebay to put a notice on this ad for you reminding watchers this is not a forum and that only seriously interested parties should be contacting you. It might help ease the junk questions you are consistently getting. Good luck with the sale.
Mar-06-05
A: you don't understand their mentality or lack there of. Reminders would be a waste of the systems time.
Q: Anyone that has anything to say, except questions about the ring itself, should get off of eBay. Ms. Rowe's personal life is her business and nobody elses.
Mar-06-05
A: thanks...i'LL put this up, but doubt it will be heeded.
Q: Does this ring have any inscriptions on the inner band. Thankyou for your reply.
Mar-06-05
A: no it does not, except for PT900 (platinum stamp)
Q: Hi Debbie! People need to foward any email that they think is not legit from ebay or paypal to spoof@ebay.com or spoof@paypal.com. to investigate and not to click any links on the email and delete it. I get at least 2-4 spoof emails a day that I forward that claim to be from both ebay and paypal all from clicking one link 6 months ago thinking it was legit, luckily I did not give out any information because the font on the sign in was different than ebay's and got it was a spoof. You'd think by now they would get that I can't be fooled and give up already. Most of them gets delivered into my junk mail folder but I still forward it and delete it. Ebay and PayPal will reply to let you know if the email forwarded was a spoof or not, I've been right on every one of them so far. Some of them are pretty tricky and really look legit. Have a great day!
Mar-06-05
A: I found out about this yesterday.........the spoofing started day one......thanks for your help
Q: DEAR MS ROWE,I AM A TITANIUM LEVEL POWERSELLER ON EBAY AND I HAVE A FEW SUGGESTIONS FOR YOU.I WAS WATCHING A SHOW THAT VALUED THE RING AT $30,000 AND NOTICED THE PRICE SO I THOUGHT I WOULD TAKE A LOOK. FIRST THING I NOTICED IS YOU ARE A NEW USER TO EBAY SO IT MAKES IT HARD FOR A BUYER TO JUST TRUST WHO IS ACTUALLY SELLING THE RING . SOLUTION GO ON TO EBAY CLICK ON HELP AND TYPE IN GET ID VERIFIED . THIS WILL PUT A LOGO NEXT TO YOUR USER NAME TELLING PEOPLE EBAY HAS VERIFIED YOU. SECOND I WANT TO WARN YOU ABOUT SCAM ARTIST THAT WILL TRY TO GET YOU TO SHIP TO AFRICA ; INDONESIA ; ETC. USUALLY THEY WILL SAY IT IS A GIFT AND NEED IT URGENTLY PLEASE DONT FALL FOR ANY SCAMS OR I WILL SEND YOU A CHECK FOR $250000 AND YOU SEND THE RING ALONG W/ THE REFUND BALANCE. I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THESE PEOPLE TRY TO DO THIS . I CAN BELEIVE ANYBIDY WOULD BE STUPID ENOUGH TO FALL FOR IT . BEST OF LUCK TO YOU ON THE AUCTION LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE GETTING SOME REALLY HIGH BIDS.THANKS ,ELECTRONICEXPERTS
Mar-05-05
A: thank you.....I think at this point the world knows that I am new at this and many of you have been so generous in your advice. E-bay has also helped above and beyond. They verified my item, etc and are in the process of setting these things up. Most people are using this as a "forum" for opinions that I have no interest in.........do all of you go through that? My delete button is worn out. Thanks again
Q: SHE CLAIMS TO HAVE THE REAL RING>>>>>>>>.....Hello Sir\Madam Sorry for contacting yuo in this way but i have something for sale and i think that you'll be intrested. I have a Michael Jackson's Diamond Wedding Ring to Debbie Rowe at only 90000$ and i think that nobody can compete with my price. Everything is ok with the product is in perfect condition and i have all the documents on it as a prove that is not stolen If you are interested about this and for more details,picures and about the way that we can close this deal please contact me at:monica_wilson20002003@yahoo.co.uk Thank you for your time Best Regards, Monica Wilson, Send instant messages to your online friends <http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com....>. I received this email and don't know how to forward it to ebay. BEWARE ALL.
Mar-05-05
A: thank you, this will be forwarded to the police and interpol for investigation..........I have lawyers in the uk also--fraud is fraud
Q: I also got an email from a private seller offering me the ring for $90k. Do you want a copy of it?
Mar-05-05
A: please, thank you
Q: I'm bidding from london and wondered how long it might take to arrive?? Also I understand what you must be going through right now as was in a similar situation several years ago. Hold your head up high through the storm. xxx
Mar-05-05
A: a few days at most, thank you
Q: I would just like to say that the people who send such nasty comments like the ones that are displayed here should really put more effort into their own lives and quit harassing you. What business is it of anyone's why you are auctioning off this ring? It is up to you what you do with your posessions! Good luck to you Ms.Rowe and please just delete anything negative! It is not worth your time, effort or energy dealing with these types of people! This is NOT a 'fan(atic)' web site, and therefore your auction is not an appropriate place for harrassing comments. I hope that you do well with your auction! Good wishes for you from Canada!!
Mar-05-05
A: Thank you!
Q: hi debbie, good luck from the uk.
Mar-05-05
A: thank you
Q: i hope you don't get custody of Michael's children. he raised them, and raised them right. it is your own fault for giving them away in the first place. go back to topless modelling in the dentist chair!!! glad i never met you...
Mar-05-05
A: so you don't want the ring...........don't bid
Q: michael jackson is innocent
Mar-05-05
A: and this is regards to the ring how?
Q: Am sorry you have to sell the ring it is a beautiful peace....it will bring happiness into someones life as it did to yours.... wishing you all the happiness for the future xxx
Mar-05-05
A: That is what I am hoping also
Q: What is the total weight of the center stone and the total carat weight of the ring?
Mar-05-05
A: 2.13 carats is the center stone total weight is 2.66
Q: Hi Debbie, Have you thought about making this a private ID auction so that nobody else knows who the bidders are? That takes a lot of the people away who want to bid just to say, "hey look I bid on Michael Jacksons wedding ring to Debbie Rowe". It also prevents other people from knowing who is bidding, so there are no harrassing or phony emails. Plus someone might want to bid, but won't because they don't want the world to know that they did. Just a thought... Best of Luck and Happiness to you! Shelley
Mar-05-05
A: Thanks Shelley, but the people that are bidding like that are also incuding interesting comments they think are witty or hurtful...yet I find entertaining...and e-bay is taking care of the situation. And there are so many extremly helpful e-bat members that are giving me a heads up on who most of the less than reliable bidders are. I appreciate your help and as things die down, I may be able to do that.
Q: i would like to be put on the approved bidding list many thanks
Mar-05-05
A: will need proof that you will qualify.....note from bank, etc
Q: hi hope you get your money, lovely ring cannot believe you want to sell it. Where did you purchase the ring from and did they have any less expensive ones?
Mar-05-05
A: Didn't say I wanted to sell it..........
Q: Are you arware your top bidder has 2 negs for non payment? They can't even pay $10 for a computer desk....
Mar-05-05
A: yeah, he's about to be booted off........along with others and possibly prosecuted
Q: What I meant about pre qualified bidders was they have to give YOU their financial information upfront to get put on the list. If they are legitimate bidders with access to 200,000 they should be more then willing to give you their bank name etc. If you do that you will be surprised by how many bidders will fall by the wayside. I still do not think the people who have only spent $1.50 buying a rubber bracelet and $5 on a Teletubbie DVD are legitimate bidders for any item of this quality. I am a seller and you need to only accept bids from people with legitimate verifiable financial information for an item of this type. None of the bidders so far seem to be legitimate. On an item of this interest and this high a price you need to make sure they are pre QUALIFIFED not just pre approved. Ebay Live Help can explain this to you in more detail. Good Luck!
Mar-05-05
A: excellent suggestion.........I will do this
Q: I was one of your bidders for 103,500. I received an e-mail today for a 2nd chance offer stating if I wanted to buy it from you right away because you dont want to wait for the auction to close and you want the $ ASAP to buy another ring. I wanted to know if this e-mail was ligit. If not please make a note, so no one will get scammed and give their money away for nothing. thanks
Mar-05-05
A: there are too many "Fans" (comes from the word fan-atic) I made a pre-approved list, do you want your name placed on it? Whoever sent you the e-mail should be reported or send it to me as E-bay is watching this account.
Q: Your high bidder has never bought anything except $5 CD's and SpongeBob Suncathcers and has feedback as a non payer. Do you actually think that is a legitimate bid?!! You should have pre qualified your bidders on an auction like this!
Mar-05-05
A: just did it, thank you.....love your note and opinion
Q: Debbie, just a word of advice, make sure that the money order is valid before you ship. Looking at the feeback ratings of some of your bidders, make sure that the cash is in hand before you give up something that has as much monetary and sentimental value as this. You have been through enough and I don't want to see you get taken. There are some fake money orders floating around out there. Good luck.
Mar-05-05
A: thanks, I think that there will be an escrow account. that protects everyone.
Q: Good luck Debbie. I hope you get a million for it. Bren

A: the ring will come with a replacement appraisal and I am trying to obtain a copy or letter from the original sale.
Q: Debbie I just saw the news and thought I would take a look at the ring. It is beautiful. I can't believe that you are just selling a ring and people have the nerve to be so judgmental. They know what they hear & not the truth! Only those involved know the truth! I am behind you and hope your ring sells big!! I see it is already up there in price. Do you have plans to donate the money you make? Just wondering. GOOD LUCK & your in our thoughts!

A: of course, and thank you

A: as soon as I can figure out what I am doing yes....do you pre-qualify?
Q: If this is the real Debbie Rowe, can you please post a picture of you showing this weeks newspaper with the date please. As you can imagin there are quite a few scammers out there and considering you have a zero feedback.
Mar-04-05
A: the account and item have been authenticated to e-bay. I have zero feedback as this is the first time that I have done this.
Q: Was reading your description of the ring. Your saying in the listing that it is VS1 clarity and yet when you describe it below that you state a SI1 clarity. Was it VS1 when bought and now has changed to a lower clarity since worn? Not sure, what you are selling in the Diamonds.......... David
Mar-04-05
A: the center diamond is VS1, the accent diamonds are SI2
Q: I'm sure that you are being inudated with questions but I just wanted to offer support. Please know that my thoughts & prayers are with you and your children.

Mar-04-05
A: very comfortable
Q: Dear Debbie, is the ring made by a particular jewel designer? like Cartier, Tiffany or Harry Winston? and best of luck with the auction and with your life.
Mar-04-05
A: the ring was purchased in Sydney from Ivan Vortuni at House of Giulians. I have tried to find him, but to no avail, if you find him, let me know!!!!!!!!!!
Q: Debbie, anything inappropriate you can forward to Safe Harbor or customer service or spoof@ebaycom and it will be investigated. People can be morons and will take advantage of this. There is no excuse for disprespectful behavior on Ebay and abusers can be removed from buying and selling on Ebay. I am sure you are inundated with emails. Save the good ones for a book! Good luck and God bless. Katz

Q: Would you be willing to end this auction early for me if I make you a reasonable offer? I would like to get it ASAP. Thank you
Mar-03-05
A: E-bay has rules and I believe that once the auction has started, it cannot be taken off. Thenk you for asking, this will be sold to the highest bidder. Thank you for your offer
Q: Very nice ring. Can you please tell me what is the final price you are willing to sell it for. Also please tell me if you can have it shipped to Europe, country Moldova via USPS Express Mail (EMS) and if you can give me an estimate on the shipping costs. I hope to hear from you soon and to be able to work out this deal.
Mar-03-05
A: the final price is the highest bid the shipping costs will be determined at the end of the auction, depending on the location of the buyer
Q: Dear Debbie: Actually, I have a few suggestions that, after eight years on eBay, I think might help someone just getting started with this big auction: First, you should list it for 10 days, not 7. Second, you should host more images of the ring. Third, you should pay the extra $99 to make it a Featured auction on eBay's home page. Since you already have a bid, you can add to the description with more images. I also suggest you offer the high bidder a certified Letter of Authenticity signed by yourself. Additionally, you can still add optional features to increase the ring's visibility. I wish you luck with this auction and with your life. You made some unusual choices but I hope that at the end of your life, you're good with what you did with it. Regards, Jay (rexport) P.S. You'll find eBay is a great place to buy great things cheaply with your new user ID.
Mar-03-05
A: thank you for your suggestions, the letter of authenticity is signed by me and I hope that if the ring is sold locally, I will be able to deliver the ring myself and take a photo for future authenticity
Q: What is the clarity of the large stone? VS1-VS2 or SI1-SI2? Thanks you.
Mar-03-05
A: it is a VS 1 color F
