Doesn't seem out of line to me.
the item is worth 600 or more and he wants his butt covered for it, just in case.

OK ... It's badly worded but I *think* she means that you must pay to insure the ring for $600 irregardless of what it sells for plus actual shipping charges.

Why would the seller care what the ring is insured for? It should be insured for whatever it sells for, and if lost or stolen in transit, the buyer is then covered for what they laid out for it.

The wording on the shipping and insurance terms is strangely similar to the wording in the Sony Play Station/2 auctions a couple years ago where buyers were paying up to $500.00 for an empty box that a PS/2 once came in. Whoever wins this auction will be expected to pay $600.00 for shipping and insurance. This is one to ask questions about before bidding. Or better yet, avoid bidding altogether and drop them a message and tell them why you didn't bid.

Post office will let you insure it for anything you want------They'll only pay out for what it sold for, or less.

Not True!
P.O. will not accept an Ebay invoice as proof of value.
They want to see a Cat,Store or other listing as a value.

The Post Office will let you insure for any amount your little heart desires, up to their maximum liability limits. And you can bet the farm that the friendly clerk at the window will eagerly accept the fee and put it in the cash drawer. The only time a problem pops up, is when you go to file a claim. If they determine your $600.00 insured ring was only worth $100.00, guess how much they are going to pay?

Well, Mark and I purchased a 1/2 carat diamond at Kay Jewelers 10 years ago with a plain 14K band, and it set us back $1995.00.
Maybe the jeweler that appraised it wanted to buy it.
And you'd be a fool to bid on it. Possibly stolen and couldn't be hocked for more than the value of the gold.

Interesting...The seller is located in Jacksonville, Florida. Ralphie, I suggest you stick to your herbal viagra sales and make a deal with Ladyjewels to handle the diamonds for you.
