    I know somebody with a platinum wedding ring wanting to sell
    I guess the wt to be 5-7 grams.
    She was going to flog it to a jewelry guy. I said no rip off.
    I thought it was worth $400 ish. Told her. She thought it was worth $2000. ( more like the price she paid me thinks )
    I told her one is metal price and the other jewelry price. I think she thinks I'm ripping her off.
    So help please.
    What is it realistically worth?
    I know some where between the two prices.
    I dont even want it. Would rather 10oz bar of silver or two 1/10 gold Deagons.

    Well, the "jewellery guy" or Cash 4 Gold booth at the local shopping centre are going to offer her less than the metal value so...

    Tell her to shop it around and get some quotes.

    Step one; Give her this link http://www.kitco.com
    Step two; Tell her to divide the spot price per oz for Platinum by 31.1 to obtain price per gram
    Step three; multiply by the gram weight weight of ring
    Step four; have her get quotes from the dealers
    Step five; watch her faint as she realizes how much less than spot she's even offered

    5 grams = US$ 296
    7 grams = US$ 415

    If she wants to maximise sale price, try sell privately to friends, neighbours, relatives etc. Could even try auction type web sites.
