Your whole post is shady and smells scam from miles away...
You offer as Collateral something that you already put up for sale. That means that you don't care to get it back.
I am also looking to possibly just take a loan out on it and buy it back over the 6 months of waiting for it to fit my wife again
Do you want a Loan because doesn't fit on your wife?! Well that's a brand new excuse!
...with interest of course.
Really? You are so kind...
Seeking $9000
Ring appraisal: $10,300
This is a price that you figure it before or after you see that it doesn't fit on your wife?! Lol!
1.) How does it smell like a scam from a mile way? Please tell me, I want this to be as least scammy as possible. I figured by ONLY accepting protected forms of transaction that sort of proves this isn't a scam?
2.) If you read the sale thread then you would know what our plan is. The ring simply doesn't fit TEMPORARILY, and rather than go through multiple resizes, and considering our current financial situation (which is very temporary, mind you), we feel best to either essentially PAWN the ring off for a loan and simply buy THAT ring back, or just sell the ring and buy a NEW ring back once she is normal. If we went the loan route we most certainly would want to buy THIS ring back.... that is actually what we prefer. She adores that ring even though she hasn't been able to wear it.
3.) No I don't want the loan just because it doesn't fit my wife. Read my whole thread and you will understand.
4.) What more would you want other than interest?
5.) The $10,300 appraisal is the authentic appraisal given to me upon the purchase of the ring. Of course other appraisers may find slightly different valuation, but it's a pretty accurate starting point. Go to any jeweler where you design and build a ring just like this and try to get exactly this for less than $9,000. That is why the ring is valued where it's at, it has nothing to do with the fact that it doesn't fit my wife.
To be honest, your post is so disrespectful and shows you don't actually read a thing. This isn't a scam, it's a solution we have found for a temporary problem, and if someone wants to make some interest off of me then great. It solves our "right now" problem, and we would have no issue with repurchasing the ring within 6 months time. We would want to do everything we could to repurchase it.
Anyway, thanks for the post? I guess......
