    Simple and fun idea.
    Each person puts a couple of pieces of ludicrously expensive jewelery items into a parcel. Then sends it on.
    Each person can take out a piece of ludicrously expensive jewelery. Then sends it on.
    Easy as that!
    A great way of swapping that outdated De Boors diamond necklace for that Cartier watch that you have gathering dust!
    Please note: A letter of authenticity must be enclose from the suitable jewelers such as, Lorraine Schwartz, Tiffany's, Bulgari ect.
    No 'Lucky, lucky' men fakes from the Costas please as every item will be individually checked by me at my home in Panama.

      I'm afraid we cannot allow this as the GC team have not been consulted regarding our cut:snork:

            There was a wanted on our local freecycle last year for a top of the range 4x4, preferably with a years mot, tax & a full tank of petrol. And could it be delivered & the owner make their own way home.

            I thought it was hillarious, but the mods on there sent us all a pooey e mail saying how freecycle was not a personal shopping list:sad: No sense of humour there then.

              I was talking to a friend a couple of months ago who has a Rolex. He'd just spent £420 to get it serviced!!!!

                Thats cheap:rolleyespink:

                My Dad got one from my late grandad one year when he was asked what he wanted and he joked that he'd always fancied a Rolex turns out my grandad took him at his word and bourght 4 one for every adult male in the family:hate-shocked: although he doesent wear it reguarly now as it costs far too much to repair and service says he likes his plastic Casio just as much :snork:

                I've a radio synchronised Casio that cost about £40 that's more accurate than my friend's Rolex. I've also got an old plastic Casio now about 10 years old that only goes about 3 minutes out in a year. It's on it's second battery, the strap's knackered but it hangs from my rucksack on holiday and is permanently set to Greek time.
                If I had a Rolex I'd be worried sick about losing it!

                  Robajobs, I tried something similar the other week when we went to Buckingham Palace to see the Queen's Diamonds :dbgrtmb:. She was 'Not amused!' :heehee:

                  They didn't even have a lucky dip at the end! :sad:
