The color of this gem is not bright neon pinkish red so it hardly can be named the jedi spinel, but anyhow it is a pretty classic red spinel and the stone is not too dark. The delivery was fast.

The sapphire that arrived looks nothing like the one I bid on. The image displayed a bright pink/purple round cut sapphire but the stone I received was a dull brown/purple round cut with no pink visible.
Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.
When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.
