The toughest part is if it’s really the ORA pb or not. It took me quite a while to get hold of a true ORA pearlberry. There are a lot of lookalikes sold as ORA PB that are not the real deal.
That's why it's $40. Too many people wrapped up in the name game. If you can't tell the difference, does it even matter? If it does, go spend 3 times as much from a reputable dealer. I got a legit one from Abe @ Coral Euphoria.
Isn’t that kind of what keeps the price high? If you know it is a legit named piece with provenance, you can resell it as such. I think that’s worth something.
Selling pieces that you are not sure of the identity as named pieces is not cool
