But my appraisal says $12,000

Well guess what!  Appraisals are for insurance replacement value and are not a guarantee that someone will be crazy enough to pay you that amount.  Jewelry carries a 200% mark up.  That means the ring you bought for $9000 actually cost the jeweler $3000.  eBay is a virtual garage sale and a bargain hunter’s paradise.  Someone might “steal” your ring for $500-700 but you will be lucky to get that.  Besides, by this point, you hate the ring and have discarded the man.  It’s not a
“good luck charm” for any other girl.
