Where to sell a ring?

[Groove]

Ive got an engagement ring from my ex, valued at £4k.

Whats the best way to get the most money for it?

Sell it to the jeweller that valued it. I assume it was valued and that 4k is not what you paid for it new?

Are you basing the £4k on a recent valuation, or what you paid for it?

£4k is a recent valuation. I paid significantly less from somone second hand

I wasnt sure if the shop would buy it? It was H.Samuel who valued it about a month ago.

an insurance valuation isn't worth the paper its written on (i'm assuming you didn't pay anywhere near 4k for it?), the only way to recover any value is to sell it privately.

I used to work in the pawnbroking industry and so called insurance valuations were often simple 5 to 10 times the asking price which was in turn 5 to 10 times the scrap value.

You're very lucky to have the ring still!

If I were you, I'd just run round all the places asking how much they'll give you for it, rather than an insurance valuation.

I sell my ring down the docks at weekends for 20 quid a time. You could give that a go.

Who in their right mind (other than footballers) pays £4k for an engagement ring??

Go round asking how much people will give for it (Jewellers, not just people) and then play them off against each other.

I love threads like this. You can feel the seething hate that Owdamer has for anyone making more money than him.

Pure cringe gold.

I meant my cock was insured for £6k lol

The ring is insured for £4k, what the valuation was.
