Fezmid Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 That sounds like a great idea. Very cool of him to offer. The guy's going to shoot Steve AND the buyer to take the cash AND the ring...
thebug Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 The guy's going to shoot Steve AND the buyer to take the cash AND the ring... That's good thinking on his part, now that you mention it.
bartshan-83 Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 The guy's going to shoot Steve AND the buyer to take the cash AND the ring... That was funny.
stevestojan Posted May 6, 2010 Author Posted May 6, 2010 The guy's going to shoot Steve AND the buyer to take the cash AND the ring... THAT was funny! Needed that.
Just Jack Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 The guy's going to shoot Steve AND the buyer to take the cash AND the ring... And if it was you, the buyer would want to return it for full price because the girl rejected it when the buyer proposed, even though you had said no returns.
Fezmid Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 And if it was you, the buyer would want to return it for full price because the girl rejected it when the buyer proposed, even though you had said no returns. Thanks for reminding me... I have to relist the scanner tonight (I've scanned 15 images over 6 negatives, and not a single issue...).
Phlegm Alley Posted May 8, 2010 Posted May 8, 2010 A good reason why you should meet at the pawn shop if you're selling the diamond.
Just Jack Posted May 8, 2010 Posted May 8, 2010 A good reason why you should meet at the pawn shop if you're selling the diamond. A few days late with that..... It's not, when you compare it to Ebay. And it's good of the pawn shop owner to both give you the advice and offer his store as a meeting point. I've seen stories about people selling jewelry on CL, giving out their home address to the buyer, then getting broken into or ripped off.

stuckincincy Posted May 8, 2010 Posted May 8, 2010 Again, don't want to discuss the details, but I'll bite: I'd rather give myself a root canal with a rusty spoon dipped in vinegar than have her keep it. Now, please no more moral, karma, etc posts. Just advice. Newspaper? Will you keep possession of your dog?
stevestojan Posted May 8, 2010 Author Posted May 8, 2010 Will you keep possession of your dog? That being the most specific detail I don't want to discuss

mead107 Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Sorry for your split. If you get alot of money for the ring you could get a few trips out to the games.
Huuuge Bills Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Sorry for your split. If you get alot of money for the ring you could get a few trips out to the games. Hasn't he suffered enough?
Cornerville Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Hasn't he suffered enough? EDIT: Not sure if this would help steve, but here is a forum for selling jewerly, might be worth a shot to see what they might think: http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=83126
Nanker Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Thanks for reminding me... I have to relist the scanner tonight (I've scanned 15 images over 6 negatives, and not a single issue...). Your instincts were right on that, I believe. The douche probably had a dozen photos he needed scanned and scammed you out of a sale by "renting" your scanner. There are lots of sleazy people slinking around the world. Steve, sorry about the split. I've got nuttin' for you about cashin' in the ring though.
UConn James Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Or you could hold onto it for your second wife, but it would be much cooler if you pulled it out of your pocket during a poker game for an awesome check-raise. That would be bad-a$$. I vote for this. I really don't know why people get married anymore. The current way of things is serial monogamy, at best. We knock the old days and call it politically incorrect, but the medieval mindset --- that women are either stupid, batsh-- crazy, or will sleep with anything that moves (and thence, many a man's sister's children were treated better than that man's own children; b/c they are guaranteed to be some at least percentage of blood relation) --- hit it on the nose w/o all the dancing around. The current 'Me! Me! Me!' social order has just taken it even more full-bore, only we have Maury Povich and his DNA tests to save the day(!). Just by the tone and what was written, I'm 95 percent sure what drove the split.
Chef Jim Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 This is the year. I see you got the time machine up and running.
