Many years ago I managed a men's clothing store that was adjacent to a private jewelry store. One of my customers, who was a dubious character at best, came in with a Haltom's Jewelry ring box holding what looked to be a 5 to 6 carat diamond ring set in gold. The ring had the Haltom's price tag to the tune of $25K plus still affixed. He said he knew the ring was probably stolen but at a price of $1000 could not pass up the opportunity of buying it and then reselling it but he was going to take the ring next door and have it appraised. He did not come back in after the appraisal but the next day I was talking the owner of the jewelry store who told me the story of a guy coming in to have his "Grandmothers" diamond ring appraised hoping to sell it to buy a new car. Said he hated to break the news to the guy that the ring was glass and the gold was cheap metal of some kind. He said the guy looked like he had just told him he had Herpes.

Maybe you'll get lucky and it's just stolen.

Team wolfs I had to perform. It took a minute to get it all in my mouth and another five to swallow it all.

Not by the speaker salesmen, now the last time I got out of the house with one of my buddies we went to the bar and played pool. We were playing pretty good, having a good time, and these 2 guys walk up and ask if we'd like to play. We say sure, and we play a few games for fun, going back and forth, then it goes to loser buys drinks. Looking back, they let us win that round, then it goes to money and they straight thrash us. To make it even worse they let us play again for double or nothing. I've been beat in pool, but these guys were something else, so good it made you mad knowing you just got hustled.
