    selling a diamond ring

    GFY being such a diverse source of knowledge, I thought I'd ask here...

    A couple years ago a friend of mine broke up with his fiance, and gave me the ring.
    I've now carried it though a couple of moves, but I really don't want it.
    I took it to the mall for a free appraisal and they quoted me $300;
    but they don't buy rings, only take them as trade-in on other diamond rings.
    I don't even like diamonds! so...

    what's the smart way to sell a diamond ring? (don't say eBay)
    I am going to guess a few of you have experience selling stolen jewlery

              What's wrong with eBay?

              There's 13,000 rings on eBay and it looks like they get a lot of bids.

                  you could put an add in the paper but then people are gonna call you all the time. quickest way is a pawn shop i think, but you'll never get close to what it's worth.

                      might as well call it a lose now and save yourself some time.
                      want to buy this spot for cheap? it is of course for sale. long term deals are always the best bet. brand0n/ at/ a o l dot commies.

                          what its worth is what someone is willing to pay for it. Cash value on a 300 appraisal is 10 % or 30 bucks

                              By the sounds of it you didn't pay for it. Anything you get for it is pure profit. Go pawn it and get rid of it. You might only get $30 or so but its better than a kick in the nuts

                                  a $300 engagement ring?

                                  I think I know why the relationship crapped out

                                      yeah. he said he paid more.
                                      but then I also wondered if they were being honest,
                                      since they were trying to get me to trade it up.

                                          They have 5-600% mark up at the retail level on jewellery, so if you sell it used expect to get 10% of what you paid for it. If it dosent sell in a timely manner it gets broken up for the parts

                                              Agreed. Diamonds are the biggest ripoff out there, IMHO. I have diamonds I've inherited, but after trying to sell my engagement ring, I learned the markup is absurd.

                                              For those considering marrying me - I want land.
