Will I Get One or Two?

Waiting, waiting, waiting for an answer from seller.

So someone please tell me. Will I get one or two?

Picture has two. Price is about right for two. It's not new.

But wait, down in the listing it says -

Gorgeous pave Pandora charm (2 available) silver with a mix of clear, purple and pink stones

I'd pay that for two. Very pricey for one IMO

Is it perhaps deceptive selling?

Ummmmm, but pave is a setting. Can't be plural

I can buy a new one from a Pandora store for $69

So $64 for 2nd hand one is a bit steep

You won't get any...........

You haven't paid yet...........

God I crack myself up !

Yep, deceptive. You are getting one.

Their other listings have two pictured but say it's for one.

And another listing has a pic of two but only one left.

I would ask for cancellation saying you thought it was for two and go to a genuine jeweller whom may give you a discount and more importantly assist if something falls out or is not 100%.

(Nice of hubby to get you some Pandora for the Anniversary)

I would say one. The photo shows different angles of the same bead.

The listing says 2 available.. meaning this one in the listing and another one.

Re: Will I Get One or Two?

imastawka — Sat, 07 Feb 2015 09:12:30 GMT

OK thanks for input guys. I was hoping to get 2 for the price.

Like I said, I can get a new one for $69. Was hoping to get

the two for $64.50 seeing as they are not new.

I haven't bought them yet. Have been waiting for seller to answer.

Not for me kopes. Nice thought though. Twin grandaughters.

One likes pink, one likes purple. Thought it would work out nicely.

I got a nice kiss on the top of my head for our anniversary.

Romantic eh? And I waited 44 years for this?

All the P beads are pre-owned. Some silver ones, price only $7 different from full price. Condition 'good' for the one I looked at, at close to new price you would think it would be excellent, as new condition.

Stretching it to expect a preowned one for 1/2 price... stawka.

Free postage, but online jewellers offer that as well.

No stretch. Have gotten auction charms for $20 or so - genuine Pandora

Spoils ya I guess.

You sure they are genuine?

The listing is not very clear... and it should be. Listings can show how many of an item is available.

Re: Will I Get One or Two?

imastawka — Sat, 07 Feb 2015 10:10:07 GMT

Genuine Pandoras are numbered.

The B & M store (I go to) is also quite helpful in authenticating too.

So, yes, so far authentic. Fingers crossed.

The same seller has used the multiple items listing, so

it's not as though they don't know how This item is not quite

clear in the photos. Most give a close up of the stamp.

This one just states the number.

Won't buy this one, don't worry.

Re: Will I Get One or Two?

cherry*135 — Sat, 07 Feb 2015 10:15:32 GMT

I know you won't buy that one. I meant your concerns about the listing were valid ones.

Can't fake Pandora have a number on them too (not referring to any onesyou own)?

Re: Will I Get One or Two?

imastawka — Sat, 07 Feb 2015 10:30:07 GMT

Not that Ive seen. (New to this, still learning.)

They all have an ARL # No idea what that means though.

The one above has Pandora stamped onto the side and he gives a #

Pandora has a site where you can check. They even have

'retired' ones listed so you can see if a 2nd hand one is genuine or not.

So far, I've only seen things listed as 'like Pandora' so I don't know

whether the Pandora people are on to the listings that aren't genuine.

I have noticed that they are not in the VERO program though.

edit: If they get back to me I will complain about their listing style

and tell them to fix it or else.

Don't understand the fuss about pandora - they're just beads aren't they? Must be a new age fashion thing I am too old to understand?

I think some nice vintage books would be good presents for grandaughters,

Re: Will I Get One or Two?

imastawka — Sun, 08 Feb 2015 00:11:10 GMT

lol @ books.

I don't really understand it either. But the beads are very heavy

sterling silver. Younger ones love them.

I don't wear silver, I wear yellow gold myself. The gold beads sell for hundreds!

And if I get them cheap enough - who sez I can't make a profit?

Don't understand the fuss about pandora

Cause they are made in Denmark.

(I might be a little biased) Lol.

Re: Will I Get One or Two?

kopenhagen5 — Sun, 08 Feb 2015 02:43:40 GMT

Actually there is a nice story behind Pandora.

Hubby and wife, jewellers came up with the idea and started making them from 1982.

Charm bracelets have always been in style in Denmark.

Pandora became popular amongst the Hollywood stars.

So in very short years from a small jewellery shop in Copenhagen they immediately employed 35 to make Pandora.

Now the company employs over 11,000 worldwide.

imastawka — Sun, 08 Feb 2015 05:10:45 GMT

Nice story, kopes. Saw a niche and went for it.

But it seems I was only getting one anyway (If I wanted to buy)

They've already sold one and it doesn't say anywhere in the

listing that there's only one left. It still says two available!

I gave them a piece of my mind - and really, I can't afford to -

I need it all
