Engagement Ring Fund, by bigv on Nov 5, 2016 20:52:00 GMT 1, Hey all, this is my first sale thread so let's see if I can do this right the first time. I'm located in LA (El Segundo area) so in person meets are cool if you're near. Some of these pieces are the first things I bought when I started down my collecting path and as I've grown as a collector, so have my tastes; while I still like these pieces, I don't think they'll see a wall anytime soon (excluding the Meggs Beauty as the future Art Police likes that one).
I need to raise some funds to help offset some recent purchases and build a ring fund (asking at the end of the year so not much time). Almost everything is near cost and is based on eBay/EB price history and exclusive of shipping and fees. Naturally I'm open to reasonable offers.
Above - Detroit Lock SOLD (edition of 60; comes with COA (1/60 if that makes a difference to some of you))
Above - New York $100 $80 (edition of 75; comes with COA)
Meggs - Rising Up, Back on the Street $75 (at cost; edition of 75; no COA as 1Xrun sent me the wrong one and never sent me the right one)
Meggs - Beauty is More then Skin Deep AP $350 $325 $300 (edition of 10; comes with COA)
John Doe Re-Launch $175 $150 (edition of 50; comes with COA)
Kai & Sunny Whirlwind of Time AP $300 $280 (edition of 10 APs; comes with COA)
Dave Kinsey Duality $50 (below my cost; edition of 140, no COA; has a couple of edge curls on the right side that should frame out).
I also have a couple Cryptiks (the inks on Lord Ganesha are ridiculously thick and stink so good) I don't want to get rid since they'll see a wall eventually, but could be compelled at the right price.
Cryptik - Lord Ganesha Wax Seal AP (edition of 15 with COA) $250 but open to offer
Cryptik - Mantradala II (edition of 50 on laser engraved wood, with COA) I'd need ~$300 No longer for sale; I like it too much.
If I'm way off, let me know, this is my first thread after-all. I'm easy to work with (ask dexterbulldog), and take my reputation seriously (still building it obviously).
Best,
Big V

Take pictures, size, grade of diamond etc. buy the diamond seperate and find a jeweller to make the ring for you. I did this and saved thousands, you'll be able to buy more art with what you saved  !!

I think it's the blue pill that keeps you in wonderland, but pills aside, I'm glad I'm taking the red pill because there's so much more we can do with your significant other at your side than you can do alone. I'm hoping once I can get this ring paid for I can get some of my other pieces framed and on walls so I can share them here UAA has been a huge influence on my collecting I'm glad I found it.

Not yet, I'm going to be heading to the jewelry district in a couple of weeks with a friend who's known a guy there for ~30 years. I'm thinking 1ct vvs1/2 between H-I with an ideal cut set as a solitaire in either emerald, cushion, or ascher with a white gold band (perhaps platinum).

Go platinum - I/we did...hardwearing and doesn't discolor like gold can...good luck!

Good call singo. Everything, with the exception of Detroit Lock is available (Detroit Lock is on hold pending payment), and I'm having discussions on the cryptik mantradala II. I'm flexible on pricing but most most of these are at or near cost or have sales history on eBay or EB. However, I'm open to offers and making reasonable deals, as I don't think I'm asking for the moon so if you see something you like, I'm more than willing to negotiate and be flexible.

I've also got a Cryptik Bayon Buddha that I'd let go for $200 (there's one on ebay which is the first one I've seen since I bought mine two years ago, and it's listed for $250 there so I think I'm in the ballpark). As always, I'll take reasonable offers. Thanks forum.
Lastly, anyone have any tips for selling on eBay?
