Does anyone have experience selling jewelry?

Has anyone gone through this before? Where did you take the pieces to (pawn, jewelers, online, etc.), how was your experience, and would you do it differently if you could?

For example I'm interested in selling an engagement ring, bracelet bracelet with matching earrings, and a watch.

 

^ what they said.

No one is going to give you above what the gold/silver/diamond is worth unless you sell privately (or you just have a super unique big carat ring).

I took 3 diamond rings I inherited to places and was shocked my highest offer was $450 for all of them.

 

I was in the Pawn business for like 8 years. I can help?

 

I pay 25% of what it is new, I think thats the going rate.

 

Yeah, from what I know...

Pawn shop will offer 25-33% of what they think they can sell it for.

Jeweler will give you going rate for the metal - even if the diamonds are good quality I don't think they typically add value for the jewels.

Best bet is going to be private sale but also the biggest PITA

 

Pawn shops are like trading a vehicle in.

I never trade anything in.

 

@muddyix Can you post pictures of what you have?

 

Unhelpful post of the day: diamonds have no value beyond insurance fraud. WINK

 

100% agree with you. Probably worse than stealerships LMAO

 

Well you don’t have to sell. Every month we get little old lady’s or great grandpa that just get a loan to make it through the month then pick there stuff up.

 

Or they can’t make it back and we sell their shit.

 

I'll get those sold for top dollar.

Hit me up

 

$8 dollars a hour.
