    I am not a reseller, so when I ask about price, it isn't about making a profit. I bought two bracelets today from someone who has very nice jewelry that they don't wear anymore. They have a third bracelet that is like the 14K IG USA gold link bracelet that weighs 11 grams that I paid $200 for. They want $400 for the bigger bracelet.
    The second bracelet is a Hong Kong Jade and 14K Gold bracelet. It matches a jade pendant that I have. I paid $150. The first deal is concluded, but if the prices for these pieces are reasonable, then I might purchase the third. (I have a few gold necklaces and pendants and no bracelets to wear with them.) I need to know fairly quickly, as the opportunity will pass.
    Sorry about the pictures, I have a new phone and I am trying to get used to it.

    I think the prices you paid for the first two were very reasonable for retail.

    Melt weight for the small bracelet (11 grams - 14Kt - $349).

    I sold a very similar one a couple of months ago for £195 (about $275).

    Excellent. That is very helpful. I don't buy much good jewelry, so I need as much help as I can get. Thank you.

    Bargains. The jade is certainly worth that.

    Can you get a clear picture on the first bracelet of the mark. Looks like to me it says 14K RG USA. Would that be rolled gold? But can’t see it clear.

    Sorry. I think the magnifying app I use has upgraded to the iphone I have. It definitely says IG or Imperial Gold.
