Price Negotiation inside Trade Center
When a trade starts, the price for the diamond/jewelry item is the price listed on RapNet at the time the offer was made.
Rap% calculations are according to the current Rapaport price list, regardless of when the price was set, or the offer made. If the Rapaport price list changes during your negotiation, we keep your $/ct offer and change the Rapaport price accordingly. You can always update your offer.
If the seller changes the price on RapNet, it does not affect the trade.
A seller can always make a counteroffer/change the price of an item for a specific trade, by clicking See Negotiation Terms and updating there.
These changes are reflected in the Sale Conditions.
The date the seller last changed the price in the trade appears together with the item price.
