    Selling gold

    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?

    They are hoping that you are desperate and will jump at anything.

    Fixed that for you.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    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.

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