Any tips from professional packers? Me and the current are about to sell her first marriage engagement ring. Appraised for $12.5K. What should i look to get and where would the best bet be? As in pawn shop or jewler? Surely some of you crazies have some experience with this

Expect to get about half of the appraised value unless you can sell it private party to someone who doesn’t know any better.

I was in the market for one about a month ago. Wish I had known...

I would shop it around to different jewelers, and then maybe put it on e-Bay. I would not commit insurance fraud. The good news is, it's not the ring you bought her.

Hoping you didn't even pay a 1/4 of that much for it. Half of all marriages end in divorce, save the big money ring for an anniversary. Unless she has money and you needed to impress her...

I am pretty sure he's talking about her ring from a previous marriage... But point well made.

So much like myself and the rest of the Pack, you have made a strong argument even though you have no idea what you are talking about.**

Can you have it remounted and made into another piece or two of jewelry? If it's appraised for $12K it should have one or more nice stones.

IM sure the OP isn’t looking to see his “current”’s hand wrapped around his Johnson adorned in diamonds given from the man that was previously boning her, in a new ring setting or not. But maybe you missed that part...most have.

My wife turned the diamond from her previous engagement ring into a nice pendant necklace. I know she was previously married, it wasn’t a surprise and the two kids are a dead giveaway. It’s a diamond. It doesn’t have any evil spirits in it. No voodoo left over from the previous situation. I don’t understand why people get weird about this stuff.

Why not? Having another guy buy her diamonds and her give attention to your johnson seems like a pretty strong alpha move.

Half of appraised value is probably what you can get if you sell it private party. I guess it depends on the appraiser, but I've usually gotten appraisals for about double what I paid retail. So I would expect a jewelry or pawn shop to be more in the 25% of appraisal range, and half of appraised value to be somebody willing to buy from a non-dealer without getting a significant discount (or that thinks half of appraisal is a big discount).

Yeah, not from me. And the douche, who is an ole miss assclown, decided to stay in their house for 5 months without paying the mortgage. Just trying to use some of the money to get that straight. I would love to sell it to a six-packer at a very reduced rate. I have all the paperwork on it. Also have lots of cowboys memorabilia if your in the market. Lots of framed, signed jerseys. Seats from old cowboys stadium. It’s all for sale!! Can make it a package deal

Yes make sure you have it insured as a separate rider under your homeowners policy with said appraisal. It will cost an extra $5-7. PM me your address, leave back door unlocked on set date, and ring on kitchen counter.

You get $12.5K to buy newer better ring!!
