To good to be true?

[r-miller]

im new here to the fourm, but have been refining for a few years. i have bought a couple lots of gold filled jewelry off ebay and made some money, but i have always wondered about these types of listings?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/500-5mm-IMPRESSIVE-UNISEXS-SHINING-10KT-REAL-YELLOW-GOLD-FILLED-NECKLACE-/370588057872?_trksid=p3286.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D3%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D7141378697086498695

it says its a 10k filled necklace, and that it weighs 26grams, for $5.72 even if its 1/20 it can still be worth refining. and there are a lot of these types of listings, some with over 100 in stock.
and what im asking, is if it to good to be true?

A few years back I bought a gold and amethyst ring stamped 10k from China. The only real thing about it is that it was from China.

Reading the descriptions of the items I don't think it would be even worth putting the material in a sulphuric cell and I dread to think of the reaction to them with nitric :shock:

I looked at the Ebay link given by Palladium and noted that seller has 5.0 and 4.9 seller ratings...how can this be?

Guess Ebay doesn't give a hoot...

I bought from a China seller once; never again!
