probably bad. But if you need the money, go for it.

Don't need the money..just figured if it was going to sit in a desk drawer may as well trade out for something that would be worn by the Missus....

If they will give you $178, I will give you $180.

I bid 181.
Shop this around. It's umpossible for us to value a ring that you gave no specs on, but these guys rip your eyes out.

Gold sells for about $1600 per troy ounce.
There are 31.1034768 grams in a troy ounce
10K gold is 5/12 (41%) pure
.5484*.41*1600= 360.74
So he's giving you about half of the value, assuming his scale is legit. Check for a state certification sticker on the scales.

For future reference
ETA: Just curious, do they pop out the stone, or do they account for that some other way?

I wasn't happy when my father refused to pay for my high school ring. Now I know why.

Never bought a ring I knew I would never wear. Took the money and invested it in Apple stock back in 92'. I win
