help pricing diamond

[gtboy]

Hey all, I'm a total newbie at this so bare with me. What is a decent price to pay for the following diamond:

Shape: Round Bril.
Wt.: 1.07 ct.
Class 1A-1B cut
Clarity: SI2
Color: H
Polish: Excelent
Symmetry: Excelent
Culet: closed
Hearts and arrows look superb

Not sure if this makes any difference in price but I am told it is hand carved. I appreciate the patience and help of anyone that answers this. Thanks!

A really nice, eye-clean 1.07ct H&A H,SI 2 should cost about $4600. An AGS0, well cut stone (but not H&A) would be in the $3500-4000/range.

Is this the price I should offer to a merchant (non-online)? They seem to all range from roughly $6000 - $8000 for a diamond of this quality... Seems quite high, then again is this common for local resellers? Thanks again!

It is definitely not more then $4000 if it is certified USA EGL/GIA and if it is not certified the price should not be more then $3500. Reason i am sure cause i sell these myself.
