[QUOTE="Raido Free America, post: 3649187, member: 45328"] I went to a garage sale a few years ago, and didn't see anything I wanted . I was about to leave when a guy that was also at the sale said, I have some stuff in my car for sale. We went to his car, he looked all around, and then opened the trunk, and then a jewelry box. Inside was several very expensive looking pieces of jewelry. The one that jumped out at me was a ladies watch, it had diamonds completely are round the dial, and was just beautiful. He priced it cheap, but I made an offer of $250.00, and he looked around again, and took it! I took this beautiful watch home to my wife, for our 25th anniversary, and she was thoroughly impressed by my generosity! A week later she lost a diamond out of the face. We looked everywhere but couldn't find it. I took the watch to the local jeweler and ask if he could replace the diamond, and would it match well enough so it wouldn't damage the value of the watch. I ask how much it would cost, fearing I could not afford the repair, He said, it would be $10.00 !!!!!!! I said WHAT? He then laughed and said, the whole watch is not worth $25.00! This really happened under different circemstances to a friend of mine, and ! thought it would make a better story told in the first person. He just had the watch fixed and cautioned his wife to be careful, not to lose any more expensive diamonds! [/QUOTE]
