First off, here's my reputation thread on the forum so we can get trust concerns out of the way!:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cptmooseincs-feedbackreputation-thread-148726Now for the meat of the post,
I'm looking to sell my Ladies 14K white gold engagement ring. It's a 6 prong ring with 1 F color, VS1 clarity, .80ct, marquise cut diamond in it. The diamond is GIA certified (Gemological Institute of America), which means it's been assessed by the best out there. The ring is currently sized at 7.5 in womens, but you could easily get it re-sized. I purchased it on 4/17/13 and it has no damage whatsoever to it.
Here's a link to the GIA report on the diamond to verify what I'm claiming it is:

I scrubbed it of my personal identifying information and report number, but for a serious buyer I will provide an unedited copy along with drivers license to prove that I am in fact the sole owner of this ring and have the right to sell it free and clear:
Here are two pictures of the ring:
The appraised value is $5900. I paid $5200 for it. I'm looking to get $3600 for the ring. I will not negotiate in this thread whatsoever. All offers must be PMed to me. Escrow is an absolute MUST in this situation, and I will only use John K. as he's been a very reliable agent in the past. If this thread is unlocked, then I am still entertaining offers. I have no need for the cash, so I have time to wait for the right buyer. All payments must be made in BTC, and value of that BTC will be determined by using the "Value at Time of Transaction" stamp from within Blockchain.info, so I heavily suggest creating a temporary wallet with them so you can see exactly how much you're sending to the escrow agent before you do.
I work offshore and am gone for 2-3 weeks at a time and home 7-10 days after that. I just came home yesterday and will be going back offshore somewhere between September 23-26th. No funds will go to the escrow agent during the time I'm offshore so that way no one is waiting on the other party. If I can sell this before the week is up, then great, otherwise we'll cut a deal and move funds and ship the ring once I return home. I will only ship to buyers in the continental U.S. Upon funds being verified as received by the escrow agent, I will ship the ring out within 1 business day as an OVERNIGHT/NEXT DAY AIR shipment with USPS. This will be an "Adult Signature Restricted Delivery" package, meaning the buyer must be 21 or older to sign for it, and only the person I'm sending it to can sign for it. This ensures that the package gets put in YOUR hands only, and that I have proof of that.
Thanks for taking the time to read this!
