Swapping rules
I always loved to swap as you can never know what the other people have which they prefer less than you do and the other way around. This very idea leads me to give you the possibility to offer swaps.
The rules are the following:
- One piece for one piece – I will not consider lots for a piece.
- eBay - if you find something that you like and you send me and offer at least 2 days before the fixed price listing expire and if I make a positive decision then I will not relist the item and we can make the swapping deal.
- e-Rocks auctions - I do not swap pieces from a live auction ever. But if you see a specimen you like and it doesn't sell then I will consider your offer.
- Rockaholik Collection pieces are only up for swapping, not for sale! Please do your homework before you send me an offer for one of my collection specimens as they represent relatively high monetary and emotional value to me.
- Please consider your offer carefully before you send it and try not to spam with offers.
- I review the offers one by one, make a decision and will let you know about it. I keep the right to accept only the offers to my liking.
Preferences:
- I focus on Wulfenite, Dioptase for now - and aiming to acquire Wulfenite-Dioptase combination specimens from all localities these occur together.
- I collect worldwide minerals trying to focus on classic localities or best occurances for a species (a few examples, like Cuprite from Mashamba, DRC; Aquamarine from Erongo, NAM; Legrandite from Ojuela, MEX).
- I also emphasize aesthetics and appreciate historical background (including labels of previous owners).
