Just had the e-ring from GOG appraised this afternoon by an independent appraiser here on long island...When all was said and done the appraisal value was $620 more than what I paid. I guess I was hoping to see it a little higher. Not terrible but not as if I got an amazing deal.
But here is what is bothering me, I paid via bank wire on GOG and also had it shipped out of state to save on sales tax, so in reality I saved myself almost $1100 bc of avaiding sales tax and the bank wire discount. But if those options weren''t available to me the appraisal would have been almost $500 less than what I paid for the stone. Should I have mentioned to the appraiser that I saved that money?
Also I know from reading on here at pricescope that the appraisals from the jeweler that it was bought from will be drastically inflated, and the appraisal from GOG was about $4900 more than the price i paid, after seeing that I was expecting the independent appraiser to be much lower than that but not as low as what he quoted me today.
What do you all think? Should I get another appraisal? I found the appraiser here on pricescope under independent appraisers, and a friend of my fiancee also had her ring appraised there.
I guess i''m just a little bummed b/c I didn''t get as good a deal as I thought...opinions??
