Shipping charges?

I was just wondering how I should have this sent after I win the auction:

Or perhaps just have the auction house wrap it up in that brown wrapping paper and lick a bunch of stamps and smack 'em on the outside?

Oh, and what size air-tite?

I would look around for a non holed one.

 

they call that a rock.....

 

Hey, man. Don't dis the Yap Rai Stone... This is COIN. (or a "tribute token" or something like that?). I believe the people who traded these things were involved in a "tribute society" (non-market?) economy. Gotta look this up..

 

WITH the hole it is a Yap, without (see bkozak's post) its a rock.......

 

Oh, snap. That's right!

 

A $20K rock mind you.

 

so what you're telling me is you paid $20,000 for a rock with a hole in it. Was this the first wheel at the dawn of man?

 

I sent mine for slabbing. Phew, I was afraid it would get a details grade.



(Yes, I know I've posted this twice already. But he said Yap stone. I had to. )

 

I would so get that if I could, and post it in every thread.

 

JA, I will send you a genuine TIF stone for half the price. I'll even pay shipping.

 

I have a friend that paid $20,000 for a rock for his wife and it wasn't NEARLY as big as that.......

 

Throw in some chocolate crowns and you've got a deal.

 

You should have that as your avatar.

 

Yes, you had to. I wonder if they make black walnut display boxes large enough to hold this:

 

Great thread.

Thanks everyone for Posting

Love that slab

 

Lol, I just noticed the CACA sticker. It's a good thing those US collectors don't come around these parts. They'd be hoppin' mad.
