I'm looking to pop the question on my girlfriend's birthday in June. We've been together for 7 years and she wants the Tiffany Legacy diamond ring. I can't afford a real Tiffany ring but I don't want to get a knockoff, so I looked into the secondhand market.
Has anyone bought an engagement ring on eBay before and what are their experiences? I'm scared of scams out there.
I'm thinking of this one. It's 1.85 carats and comes with box, ribbon, certificate and everything.
Retail value is $34,000. Price is $25,000, but it 's Buy It Now ebay auction, so I'm thinking I can get it for a little less than that.

Do you think this is safe to do? Has anyone else bought jewelry on eBay before? Or should I buy what I can afford and go to a local store?
