Requirements for Quotation
1. Scope of Interest
- I only buy natural (not processed) specimens for my own collection.
- I am NO dealer. Not interested in wholesale material.
- I do not buy flats or whole collections, just individual specimens.
- I am only interested in specimens that fulfill my personal aesthetic requirements for my collection (see www.thewildfangcollection.com).
- For sure there is no need to offer me gravel, dirty rocks, mediocre specimens, or specimens that are just ubiquitous and have nothing special to them.
- In any case I judge minerals personally based on my standards.
2. Packaging & Shipping
- Careful packaging is prerequisite.
- Within your packaging standard make sure to protect the surface of the rock with soft foils before you use abrasive toilet paper or other rough materials.
- Use many layers of foil, boxes and wrapping in order to protect the rock from getting destroyed during transport or customs check (they sometimes open boxes with knifes).
- Shipping to Germany needs to be included and must be familiar to you.
-
Preferred Carriers are UPS, DHL and Fedex.
3. Invoicing & Payment
- I use Paypal as my main way to settle the purchase price.
- To some countries direct bank wire transfers are acceptable.
- I do not use Western Union or wires to exotic countries.
4. Binding Elements of any Offer for Specimens
- Clear description of mineral
- specific location of the find
- photos (and/or video)
- all dimensions and weight
- condition & treatments (including repairs, fills, stabilization, radiation, heating ...)
- your asking price in USD or EUR
