I was just reading a post from Uncle Marty in this thread where he states that the seller should not issue an appraisal. We are working with Jonathan from GOG for the diamond and the ring and we both feel EXTREMELY comfortable working with him and trust him not to rip us off in any way, shape or form. That being said should we still get an appraisal from an independent appraiser? We pretty much only need the appraisal for the insurance (We really like the stone, so we don''t really care what someone says it should cost - we don''t plan on trading it in).
If what Uncle Marty says is true - the seller''s appraisal must equal what we paid for the ring - then I''m wondering if we should get an independant appraisal, only because I feel like we''re getting a ''good deal'' from Jonathan, and if something were to happen years down the line, it may not be possible to find a ring of comparable quality for the same price - does that make sense?
Any thoughts on this, especially from the slew of people who have purchased from Jonathan in the past would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
