    Well, this is true if you were going to buy only one item, but when
    you buy 42 items and he won't combine shipping and insurance,
    although he will combine them in one package, it gets out of hand. 

    Remember, I was to pay $42 for insurance and $96 for shipping from
    Utah to Arizona by first class mail. 

    No matter how you look at it, this is not right. It was around
    $200.00 for a total and as everyone has said, these are probably CZ,
    certainly not what you would get from Rio. I should have just looked
    in the Rio catalog and gone from there. Rio DOES combine shipping,
    which is the problem with this scam artist. He doesn't, even though
    he ships the items all together in one package. (And btw, I never
    thought they were diamonds, did you think I did?) 

    Anyway, ebay has pulled his auctions and I don't have to complete
    the transaction, which I wouldn't have anyway. Yes, I was careless
    and I am usually not. However, I would not want anyone else to be
    sucked into this scam, which is what it is.
