Hi Folks,

I don't know if it's just me or most you have same symptom. I have to buy but I am terrible with selling. I have tried to adopt the rule, to buy something I must get rid of something. I have been going thru the phase of buying lot of jewelry for a period of time.

I find that selling non- designer items or smaller pieces are much harder and I don't get much of it either. Buyers including myself always look for a bargain.

My latest transaction I took a new approach, I told my friend that I may sell one of my circle diamond necklace; she really like it and want to buy it but she has lot of pieces of that she needs to sell too. I came to her house and we played jewelry dress up.

To make a long story short, we bartered. She got my necklace and I got my chunky solid 18kt YG bracelet. It's perfect for me to add to my YG collection. This really saving both of us time and both got we need.

Happy dance! I am over-excited that I wanted to share.

Sounds good! I wish there were places like this. If it is a non-designer item (in jewelry) it is not easy to sell, and even when it is people want it cheap. Trading with somebody else does sound good!

This is such a fab idea! Very true that we usually get very little from selling non designer jewellery. I mostly just get what is worth in old gold and that isn't very much these days.

gorgeous and good barter :D

I recently did a barter as well! I traded by Bulgari RG Bzero for a VCA YG sweet bracelet! we both go what we wanted and we actually just stumbled into it. it was meant to be a sale and ended up being a trade lol!

Good idea! I hate trying to sell non high end items (just not worth the headache) and I'm not sure about consignment. This sounds awesome! I think one can trade on Bonanza, but not sure how that works. I'll have to look into that!

What a great trade indeed! How fortunate you guys are to be able to do this. And what an interesting turn of events that it was started as a sale and ended as a trade, wow!

definitely! the sweet collections is so hard to find in store in Toronto. they out before they hit the floor! last I checked there was a 6 to 8 month wait list for the sweet bracelets so I was very happy!:D

That's a stunning bracelet! It's really neat that you were able to barter to get it too. It's always nice to be able to get rid of something you won't use in exchange for something you will use!
