Greetings and peace be with you Umm ul-Shaheed;
I worked in a jewellers shop about forty years ago, they worked on the principle of buying for the lowest possible price and selling for the highest. We did not put selling prices on second hand goods, rather we put a code price of what the item cost,
based on HONEST LADY,
H=1
O=2
N=3
E=4
S=5
T=6
So if someone wanted a ring for a hundred pounds we looked for anything we had that costs less that £50, or even £20, the ticket might read OS, which means we paid £25
I never really witnessed fairness and honesty in the second hand jewellery market.
There is a more tragic side to gold watch this video, gold for bread.
