Is'nt anyone worried about what they send off to a stranger??? like will you get it all back? are they giving you your worth on what you sent in? couldn't they "lose your stuff" or say they sent it back when they didn't? Or maybe you didn't get quoted on every piece, etc..?
I see these commercials & think "who would just send off their wedding rings etc. like that?" that's pretty trusting.
on a side note: The mall places usually don't give you what its worth...
My cousin found a set of antique jewelry buried in an old sofa she found at a thrift shop while her father in law was reupholstering it. She didn't like the yellow color of it & the ols style, as it wasn't her taste. She took the earrings, necklace, and ring into the local jewelry store in which the guy, playing it so cool, offered her 50.00 for the set, saying it wasn't much (realizing she didn't know much about what she had in her possesion)
She took it, thinking it was tarnished and old and she needed the money.... after she walked out she thought more about it, a half hour later, went back in and he had already put the necklace alone in the case at 1000.00.
She was so upset and still kicks herself to this day over it. He was smug and just shrugged his shoulders when he saw her expression and questioned him.
She had an antique citrine 18kt antiqued gold set she let go for a lousy 50.00! She thought it was costume jewelry cause she did't know the stone in it.
I told her If I had known, I would have given her @ least 100.00!!
(I love citrine)
