<p>[QUOTE="Marko, post: 4530265, member: 210"]Well, I will tell you a story. I passed on an emerald ring I loved because a "friend" told me it was ugly. I had always regretted it. A few years ago, I saw a retro emerald and diamond ring on ebay that was amazing. Come to find out, the store selling it was in Cape May, so I went to look at it. It fit perfectly, and was even more amazing in person. I took my friend to look at it, and she didn't like it, too expensive, not quality enough, etc. It really was too expensive, so I offered them 75% of the price via ebay. No go. Every time I visited Cape May, I tried the ring on.</p><p><br /></p><p>The ring sat there, in the store and on ebay. I was watching a home shopping channel on winter day, and they were selling chrome diopside rings. I checked ebay, and the ring was still there. I sent a half-price offer on ebay, and they accepted!!!! I called them later in the day, and they said an out-of-state dealer was looking at it when I sent the offer in. I was so happy! I called my friend to share my good news, and she berated me saying 50% off wasn't enough, I should have gotten 75% off, I wasted money, etc. I told her I had to go.
