I noticed this posted earlier today. I wonder if he sold a bike to buy the engagement ring? Hopefully he learned a lesson from all of this. "Don't let your dick run your life" - Mr Rhythm.

"TRADE: Diamond Engagement Ring for GSX-R - $8000 (jessup)

Willing to trade 1.76ct diamond engagement ring for Suzuki GSX-R 600, 750, or 1000
I bought the ring about 2 years ago and don't need it anymore (bad breakup)
The ring comes with a Certificate of Appraisal, Gem Report, original receipt. The ring is appraised at $8,130 so I'm looking for a bike of equal or slightly lesser value

*UPDATE*
The ring is a size 8 but can be re-sized, or we can meet at a jeweler local to you and I'll pay to have the main diamond put into a ring of your choice. The point of this is that I don't need the ring anymore but want a bike so I'm willing to work with you.
FAQs:
1) Is the ring stolen:
NO, I have the original receipt with my name and card information on it

2) Is the ring for sale:
NO, I don't want money I want a motorcycle"

I have a ring like that squirreled away somewhere. I had it thrown back at me.
Since I deserved it, and it had belonged to my grandmother and my younger brother is unmarried, I'll hang onto it.

I called off an engagement, and had the ring returned to me.

That ring became my CB450.

A motorcycle is in many ways a partner, and I predict he'll have the same success with this as romance. He's already found out that the appraised value of an engagement ring is meaningless and is hoping for a sucker.

Well played (and accurate).

The ring was vintage and funky . . . . kind of like my CB450.
