Price dropped to $8500 on ebay.
December 09, 2014, 06:47:20 PM
Thinking about dropping the price on ebay if anyone is interested. Probably drop it a $1000 on friday.

I am open to offers. It is a beautiful and unique ring but its not doing me any good sitting around. Someone should be wearing it. 
December 06, 2014, 12:32:55 AM
Damn, I find myself wanting to buy this, but I just can't. 
Good luck with the sales though. Seems a good price for a natural diamond without enhancement.

Need to get rid of this beautiful and unique engagement ring. I just dropped the price by another grand if you pay via bitcoin. Otherwise check out my listing on ebay.
Thanks!
Thanks!

^Yep... It'll work but you have to buy a diamond double the value of the original... so >$11,000 basically.
October 30, 2014, 03:21:22 AM
Doesnt blue nile have an upgrade program? Im shopping for a different diamond that could potentially cost more than yours. Maybe we can work something out so we can both win... Get the details from bluenile first, then pm me if its something we should look into.
did u get a chance to look into this?

Down here at the pawn shop... Its a nifty way to shop.
Just out of curiosity how much is the pawn shop offering for it? That may be a good floor if someone is interested. October 28, 2014, 10:51:35 PM

If I have a hard time selling Jewellery here for 0.1BTC that doesn't need to be sized you're going to have an even more difficult time selling an engagement ring of all things for that much money, you'll probably need to go elsewhere for it sadly but good luck.
October 28, 2014, 10:09:30 AM
Willing to accept $8000 in bitcoin or litecoin.
This is $2000 less than I paid for it.
Thanks guys,

I think the only people that can the de beers people
Otherwise like many people said diamonds worth nothing. Its still great that you can sell it back to someone . People usually buy it directly from diamond sellers , not second hand hence there is no second market diamon ring market , and the one that exist is so tiny it doesnt compare to retail. If I were you I would face the fact that It worths about nothing and go to place you bought and sell it back to them for fracture of its price and be done with it for 2 reasons , 1- you will not get a good price anyway , 2- get rid of it so you would not remember what it was for.unfortunately used jewelery is worse than new cars in terms of immediate depreciation. The second it leaves the jewelery store, it loses most of its value. Good luck with your sale.

That's why I bought my wife's engagement ring and wedding band set from a spurned lover on craigslist at a significant discount.
I was not consciously aware of The Bullshit, but I was apparently keen to the ploy of DeBeers, et al
Eff 'em, the rings are what they are, nothing more nothing less, despite what the diamond cabal spiels incessantly.
I'm hoping to get a special anniversary ring at some point through similar means.
The OP's is certainly out of my price range at this time, but it is an extremely nice piece.
I wish him the best of luck with the sale, but the appraised value is not going to happen, imho.
It reminds me of the lessons learned through baseball cards as a pre-adolescent.
Price guides were grossly inflated with those commodities, as are diamonds when being appraised by gemologists.

Why Engagement Rings Are a Scam - Adam Ruins Everything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5kWu1ifBGU
This video (and this channel) is very one sided. They pretend to be balanced but they are very much not. This is one major problem with social media - that it is possible to make something look "popular" (or that many people agree with your content) when this is really just paid traffic/comments/likesThat channel was always about making funny videos, not documentaries.
But in this case, is true:

That's funny, but just buy a ruby emerald or sapphire engagement ring. As long as it cost a fuck ton of money, she isn't going to refuse to marry you just because her giant rock is blue instead of clear.

So saving it for the next time seems a little sketch... I don't feel like I can give the same ring to another girl... Otherwise I deff would.
All that said.... Its been a month or so... Dropping the price $1000 off.

Why don't you just save it for the next time - possibly?

She must have been a really decent woman considering she didn't snap at the opportunity to take you for all you own and half of all you will ever own in the future. Sorry to hear.
August 29, 2014, 05:56:52 PM
Wow man , came down here hoping you were some sorts of jewelry guy , not the think I was expecting , sorry about what happened.
August 29, 2014, 02:08:56 PM
Open to offers.
August 25, 2014, 05:20:22 AM
^Thanks man, I may take you up on that. Been meaning to make it to New York for a while now.
August 24, 2014, 09:14:59 PM
Oh man, Im so sorry for this.
If you make it up to NY, lets have a few drinks together on me!

Yep... I guess I had different ideas than she did. It has been a sad 2 weeks. But I'm starting to get over it and I'm really looking forward to the projects I'm working on right now.
Let me say though... I didn't pay $6000 for this ring. It basically cost me my asking price/appraised value.

Sucks to see you selling this. Just a few months ago, I remember you requesting a $6k loan to buy this ring, and how that you finally were able to get it, it's put up on sale :/

In person is possible. I will drive an hour or two to meet. That could get me to virginia or south carolina.
Asking price is approximately what it appraised for. I will accept offers and I will take full payment in bitcoin or litecoin. Realize that insured shipping is not easy or cheap for rings like this and I am including that as well. If we meet FTF I could drop the price a bit for this reason.

August 24, 2014, 12:46:21 AM
asking price? the OP says it is appraised for 10k, is that what you want for it?
August 23, 2014, 07:14:39 PM
Looks very nice, wish I could see it in person, my wife would flip if I got this for her.
August 23, 2014, 06:59:27 PM
Wow, that's a very nice ring- do you plan on selling this for BTC only?
August 23, 2014, 06:42:40 PM
I should also say that the relationship ended amicably so there is no curse on this ring or anything. 
August 23, 2014, 05:21:50 AM
Another price drop... Buy it now and have it by new years! Price is higher on ebay but I'll cut a deal if you pay in bitcoin.
