Steve, if you are serious about selling the ring (although I think you should hold on to it for a few weeks), do as Teela, Polaroid and whomever else suggested taking it to the jeweler you bought it from. If they choose to buy it back, you won't get near what you spent, but it is a hell of a lot better than selling it to a pawn store.

Do not try Craigslist. This is very dangerous for expensive items. Criminals have been targeting these ads to orchestrate home invasions and robbery.
 
Haha you guys are great.

Noted on the marraige saving $ comments.

Robyn I can tel you are not doing "troubles" in this scenario and that your intentions are pure, and you might have a good point. There are a lot of complicated issues to this situation that I might post when/if I have the time and the time to converse about them. It's tough, and I am quite Jekyl/Hyde right now which is to be expected - 1 moment pissed as hell for the whole situation and never wanting got speak to her again and on the other hand wanting to keep the ring around etc. just because it seems nuts to end an 8 year relationship over this crap. I am noticing my mood is shifting to being insulted to by the whole situation....well I'll cover that when I post the whole thing which I think I will try to do soon just to keep things accurate.

As for returning it to the original store, not sure because it is a retail chain "Gordon's" that has policies they strictly uphold; for instance when I first bought the ring there was only an "extended warranty" on it with which went for 1 year which I paid $100 for, and when I found out 6 months later they started offering a lifetime warranty for $50 more I had to go all the way up to corporate to get them to let me get that for just the $50 more instead of putting down a whole new $150; based on this I would think bringing it right back to the store wouldn't go well.

Of note, USA lost, so, fuck her for that too :cougarbait:
 
Wow nice one Kato.

I sold it to a lady I met on Craigslist for $600 cash. What was cool was that she was ready to cry as it really helped out her set and she couldn't afford a new ring of this caliber. Her husband was there. She signed the agreements I drew up.

It was one of those rare satisfying win win situations that life rarely offers.

I do want to mention that blaming USA losing on Ookie was entirely unfair as I am 99% sure she had nothing to do with that. We have both moved on, made up to the point where she texted me happy birthday, and are cool. She is a good person and I wish her well - as long as she didn't make USA lose.

One person sold a $2262.49 for $600 and one person spent $600 on a $2262.49 ring. I've got this nagging feeling that there was only one winner in that transaction.
Click to expand...

I agree with it looking that way but, I called many many places and people and the bottom line was that I wasn't getting more than $400 from it elsewhere. I had people who flat out said no tell me exactly, and it had to do with the cut of the stone etc.

The big winner here was the guy who sold it to me in the first place. I hope he enjoyed his mish, he was very pleasant to work with.
 
should have held on to it stevies and given it to the next girl that you fall in love with ... now you are going to fuck yourself out of more money the next time you decide to get married after a few weeks... you know this will happen stevies, you are a very needy person ya know... i would have held on to it unless you were in a jam for some cheese
