Hey everyone,

I read your boards all the time--you guys have some great info! Well anyway, I was reading this week''s gossip magazines (Us Weekly, People) and saw that Helene from the Bachelor (with Aaron--sorry, I didn''t watch the show so I don''t know how else to describe it) is selling her Harry Winston engagement ring on eBay! Just figured I would give you all the link to it--what a ring!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2690475354

I''ll be watching it to see how high it goes, and I figured some of you would be interested as well! Take care!

Good link.

Even if I had the money I wouldn't buy it. Right now you are paying for the hype from the recent TV show. Ten years from now, no one will remember the Bachelor or Aaron or Helene. It’s not like it was Monroe and DiMaggio’s. In addition, on the romantic side, why would you want to give (or get) a 2nd hand ring that is a way, “tainted.”

The ring does look nice, though I am not a fan of oval cuts. David Atlas’s chart does say the table is too big. Since it was appraised at $29,000, I wouldn’t pay anymore than $23K for it. I wonder what it will go for? That and I wonder how much GOG is selling his oval 2.14 F VS2 for??
 
I'm suprised that they started the bidding as low as 17,500... That's not a bad deal, esp. since it's Harry Winston. And it's my size.... hmmm....
 
Weemodin, that's My size too!!! Okay

*gets into fighting position*

Let's see who gets to mee Aaron and whats-her-face from that show!

It's a nice ring, but WHY are they E-Bbaying it? Wouldn't they prefer to have a more quiet private seller...wait, this are reality TV people. I bet they'd have a camera there...

Is anyone else saddened by their pitifulness?

eBay will most likely net them alot of money with the hype and all that. Esp since talk has been going around that Estella is going to do the same thing with her ring, she even said it in an US weekly as well.




Interesting auction...is it just me or do the ring pictures look like CRAP. Almost like they didn't clean the ring or something, and it looks all included which CAN'T be the case with a VS1 at that mag. Anyway, very odd.




And the Harry Winston eval for insurance says retail value is $29k but Harry Winston retail value is $34k? So he paid $34k but it's only worth $29k? That's pretty depressing. HA HA!

Mara - that's the exact same thought when I first looked at the detailed pics of the ring! It really looks like they didn't bother to have the ring cleaned - obvious from the detailed side profile pic.

Something else I thought was interesting is that they are having a company with 0 feedback sell the ring for them. Since Kompolt is an auction management agency, I would think that they would have sold other things on ebay before and therefore have some kind of feedback.

At least she'll get SOMETHING out of that fiasco. I must say, he was my least favorite bachelor. I LOVED it when two of the girls walked out on him. That was great.

Hee Hee...Andrew was my fave...he's such a cutie.

Andrew was a cutie pie. I have a cousin that looks JUST like him, so that was a little weird for me. I thought Bob was funny on the Bachlorette, but after he was the Bachelor I just think he's gross. He's so annoying. Actually, Bob might be my least favorite.


Come to think of it, I wasn't too crazy about any of the Bachelors. Funny part is that I'm a total Bachelor/Bachelorette junkie!

I am a huge junkie as well, watch every one. Bob was my least fave bachelor...hands down. He was always greasy looking and at times he actually looked cute but others it was like...wooahhh tame that mane! hee hee.




Bachelorettes....hated Trista's whiny baby voice but Meredith is SOO incredibly annoying, she makes Trista memories fun to recall. hee hee.
