[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 405130, member: 4386"] True for other than diamonds to varying degrees. By the way, Argyle don't sell their champagne diamonds through the diamond exchange - their diamonds were given a much lower valuation by valuers (I suspect still are) so they decided to sell direct to the public and launched a big and successful advertising campaign to convince the public of their value. I think many a Joe and Mary of the public gets a shock when they try to sell their precious stones..... Valuers here are less experienced in the main and mostly value for insurance purposes (an exaggerated price) - quite unlike the diamond valuers that I was talking about. The certificates mean very little. [/QUOTE]
