Did I get ripped off?

Postby mrrosado » Thu Sep 03, 2015 2:15 pm

This listing on ebay claims that this ciborium is gold vermeil. I don't see any marking which indicate that this is true and I put a $210 bid in. If legitimate I got a good price on this. At first I took the word of the ebayer at face value because of the picture of the nuns. Then I realized those are stock pictures. :| The link is here:http://www.ebay.com/itm/351494514377?_trksid=p2060353.m1431.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I like collecting Gold and Silver. I prefer the Silver stuff. God Bless You.

Looks to be sterling with only the inside vermeil. If the weight of 148 grams is accurate, and if you were buying it solely for melt/metal content, you are way overpaying.

The link is working. For a CIborium the price is good. I just don't know if the Gold Vermeil is legit. The minimum requirement for use in the USA is gold plated. For $100 I could get a brass one. Church items are expensive. I just don't want to pay $210 and for it not to be gold vermeil which is a nice step up from gold plated.

Maybe send the seller a message to confirm and that way, you have a supplement to the listing and if there is an issue , eBay can check messages to confirm product is different than described. Good luck
