It's no good, I'm going to have one last thing to say re Jewellery Prices.
I am talking genuine sterling silver here. I gave my sister a French Rope chain. Some time later her house was broken into by some lovely children from down the road. She lost quite a few DVDs, and some jewellery - the chain being one of the things stolen and never recovered.
She filled in an insurance claim. What are we going to value the chain at, she asked. I said, well I paid $90 for it but it would be worth a lot more in the shop. So, we went down to a local jewellery store and I showed the jeweller a duplicate chain - one that belongs to her-indoors. She valued it at $499 so that's what SIS put on the insurance claim, and that is what the Insurance company paid to the Jeweller for the replacement chain.
Let's see. $90 V $499 ]:) ** And, by the way, a large Jewellery store would buy that chain cheaper than I could as a one-time ex-seller - so maybe it's more like $60 V $499.
