Clint Eastwood did an interview shortly after his last divorce (#5? #6?)
He was asked if he'd ever marry again?
Clint replied, "No, I'll save time. I'll just find a random strange woman & buy her a house."
My Dad's second wife married her first husband twice. Jack was a nice guy, but an alcoholic. He spent his last years on the wagon, though after coming to Jesus. Then she and my Dad were married 39 years until his passing. They had a good life together, and I'm pleased that they did.

Jewelry value is hard to pin down, really. The standard of the industry is a retail mark-up of 300%-plus. Resale values of used jewelry are frequently half or less of retail, and pawn shops are seldom buying anything for more than half of what it will sell for, so $1000 new retail can easily become $500 market value and maybe $250 to unload at a pawn shop.
A piece of jewelry may catch the eye of a buyer, but it might also sit in the display case for months or years. Value of a diamond ring is largely in the stone(s) and gold. Stone value is determined by size, quality, cut (style), and clarity. A stone may be large but have little resale value because of low quality or clarity, or outdated cut/style. Actual gold content is usually only a fraction of actual weight, and some manufacturers are known to be less than scrupulous.
Pawn shops are highly regulated in many states. Items received by purchase or pawn can require reporting to law enforcement (subject to seizure if it matches stolen reports) and may have to be held for a month or more before it can be resold.
Pawn shops are tough businesses. The owners and employees have to know a lot about everything they deal with. Lots of scammers in this world, lots of fraud.

Been married for 40 plus years. If I get the chance to remarry-the next wife will be dumb with big ***s and no older than 40.
Every old cowboy knows young horses and young women cripple or kill old men.

Just like Pawn Stars.
Went through 6 long term relationships [two years or more] before getting married to # 6 at 39. 31 years ago.
All been good years.
All been good years.
#1 3.5 years. #2 7 years #3 25 years (widowed) #4 3 years (widowed again). #5 6 years so far
I believe today is my 26th anniversary. Numbers 1 & 2 didn't last long. I also lived with a girl for about 4 or 5 years. I took my 2nd wedding's rings, just plain gold, and got a whopping $15 for them. Melt value, plus the value of two failed marriages! I'm too old and have too much ($$) to go shopping for a 4th! (I still love this girl, all 4'10" and her Dagmars.)
I either admire your persistence or I pity your stubbornness. I can't decide which..............
Maybe he was marrying her for his money.
I GUESS i AM LUCKY; JUST HAD OUR 54TH ANNIVERSARY. A couple of naive 18 year olds but it's been a pretty good run and we still like each other.

My dad and mom divorced seeming within minutes of my moving out of the house. Looking back, I wish they'd done it sooner. Dad married his work girlfriend (not a secret). She had money from her first marriage and was a rich widow. She died, and dad remarried mom. Then he had money. Yes, it's complicated.
At some point, you should come to the understanding that it might just be you . . .

Been married 32 years. Several of us have promised to shoot each other before marrying again. As for marrying 7 or 8 times, sounds like my wife's brother, when do you figure out that you are not very good at it?
