<prompt> Human: Apologies if this is the wrong forum for this sort of topic, but it is personal finance, so perhaps its somewhat related?My mums received a bunch of jewelry and stuff as gifts from her friends over the years, but she doesnt wear any of it and now we need money, so were looking to unload some. Among the things she wants to sell are: .6 carat diamond ring 2.1 carats total, but the biggest diamond is .6 Around a 100 g of 18k gold in the form of earrings and the like several miscellaneous gems rubies, peridotes, pearls, etc of around a carat apiece, set in the jewelery A fancy diving watch seems to be selling used on ebay for 4-7kEverythings in like new condition and we have appraisals for all the jewelry. Im thinking the best route to take would be to scout out similar items on ebayforums and sell them for slightly less though Ive never actually sold anything on ebay, but cant imagine it to be too hard, but shes insistent on using pawnshopsjewelry stores. What would be the best way to go about this?  <response>: Go to multiple jewelry stores in your town. Get each one to give you their offer in writing. Bring it to the next one. Play them against each other.Jewelry stores should buy most of it not the watch.You can also get the diamonds appraised by a gemologist independently. Then demand at least that much when selling. Again get paper work from the gemologist. 18 karat gold means it is 75 gold therefore you have 75g of pure gold 99.99 and at the going rate is 3700 USD.
