    Always makes me think twice when no photo of the actual item is provided...

    Citygoldbullion recently sold their engelhards for less than 800 AUD each. You can get at least 2kilos for the exorbitant price they are asking!

    Well. If it was numbered close to 10, and has a dealer counter-stamp then perhaps I would be interested!

    Quite possibly the gaudiest lump of metal, gems, pearls, diamonds etc gathered in one place I've ever seen, taking some 8000 hours to construct, and which Mr Togel (deceased) or his descendants will never get back, or perhaps be very lucky to get spot for imho.

    Would make a great doorstop for Roman Abramovich's outside dunny.

    Probably.

    Yours for $853k.

    I figure that missing pearl should give it a 50% discount. :p

    Only interesting from the perspective that it's yet another dodgy u55ki trying to palm-off a 1930's/1940's gaudy (popular descrip on this thread recently) art-deco'ish 18kt bangle with what appear to be average quality semi-mine cut stones.

    What he isn't saying of course is that the item is Indian, 20thC, preferring to call it 'Neo Gothic Islamic', whatever the fcuk that is, even using pics of much earlier bracelets which have nothing whatsoever to do with the thing he's trying to sell.... ummmm... for around AUD$1,043,000.00 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEO-GOTHIC-ISLAMIC-18-K-GOLD-DIAMONDS-BRACELET-ENAMEL-/290668770245

    How about knock off a zero at the end of the price for a missing pearl ? ( More zero off if the pearl S/N is not match COA... ) :lol:

    Insane rambling German fruitcake selling 'Jesus' Wood' 'sculpture' with a light fitting secreted somewhere in the hollowed-out centre of the thing, and associated log x-sections for $1.6M...

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Jesus-Je...llection-worldwide-Unique-Magic-/151166338630

    Check the language LMFAO!:

    "Here you can purchase a collection of Art that will have no other man on Earth"

    "I offer this private Art Collection, because I have an enemy, it is the time"

    "should submit for the fun you a tender, will have legal consequences"

    "My creations have soul and are meant for people who have searched their whole lives for such wondrous things"

    "I'm much in rehab with my creations active people are grateful for my great work, I personally know very bad diseases lovable people that surround us, do not stop"

    "Is said to me, my wood have magical powers"

    (I'm obviously in the wrong business... or on the wrong planet...)

    VRS - I'm getting worried - you seem to be spending a lot of time browsing the 'Weird and Wacky Art" section on eBay! :lol: :lol:
