So I need to sell my ex fiances diamond engagement ring. Yeah, I know...so sad. Second broken engagement with a different woman....I really need to stop buying rings. Haha. Anyway, I put an ad out on Craigslist and got a few responses from people asking if I can ship and if I take paypal.
Normally, I wouldnt be paranoid about shipping such an item but I was wondering if you all had any experience selling something over craiglist where you used paypal as payment. The craigslist site warns against "wiring money" or shipping overseas. I wouldnt consider shipping the ring overseas, but Im considering the US. The only thing Id be worried about with the ring is if I shipped the diamond rings with insurance and confirmation, that the buyer might get the ring and swap out the diamonds for fake ones, then want a refund. Any advice on how do I cover my ass in a situation where I ship and take payment through paypal? Maybe Im being super paranoid, but do you guys think I should just sell local for cash and forget shipping? No luck with local buyers yet. |

My advice find a good jeweler. (Not a we buy gold type) When I bought my wife's ring they had a trade up program where you can bring in a used diamond for trade torwards a bigger one. (a lot of places in the caribbean do this too. Diamond international)
Next wife gets a bigger ring or you can get a nice watch for yourself. You will also get a lot better idea of the value (If you don't already know) |

Thanks man, the place I bought it from has a trade up deal like that....the only problem is that all the paperwork is in my ex fiances name....so Id probably have to contact her in order to get a new ring for the future fiance #3.....and ex fiance #2 hates my guts....so that probably isnt gonna happen. haha.
I gave fiance #1s ring away....hopefully I can get something for this one....and then IM NEVER BUYING A RING AGAIN! haha. |

You should put that ring on a silver chain, and wear it visibly around your neck. Then you can go out and pick up chicks by telling them that your wife who was the love of your life since you were 8 years old just died. Make up some really sappy line about the ring hanging close to your heart, and you might be able to get a bunch of sympathy tail.
