I have a 14 carat gold ring that is worth $160 according to the scrap gold value calculator (it weighs 6.4 grams)
I advertised it for $150 and am getting offers of $85. What gives?

Simple. They're hoping to sell it for $100 to the next schmuck.

Remember, like anything, what an item's worth and what it sells for are not neccesarily the same thing.

It's called a free market.

Fundamental Rule Numero Uno: Buy low; sell high.

well, maybe someone will want it as a ring. I've had the damned thing since 1974. No rush.

That's like committing suicide to keep from getting killed.
