What happens to the trade ins?

Typically stones cannot be resold at the same price, and we know some of these vendors do a LOT of trade ins.... so like, taking mara for example... she's had a few trade ins.... do they get resold at current market price and the consumer is none the wiser? I don't think it would bother me to have a trade in so long as the polish was still immaculate... but what???

But yes, basically, traded-in diamonds are examined, usually re-certed, and then resold at current market value. Most of the time the new buyer is none the wiser. And THAT'S my story and I'm sticking to it!

I never thought to search THIS topic!!! I thought I'd seen everything already ;) lol!! Okay, I think the key here is RE-CERTED! That way you just never know... interesting!!! Though kinda unfair that they can resell like new and we can't!!!
