edited: quick googling... neh antara penyebab kenapa xde 2nd hand value...
You Won't Get What You Paid Unless you bought your diamond ring many, many years ago, you are unlikely to get back what it originally cost.
Not Even Half Compared with a price paid or valuation received within the past 5 or 10 years, you should not even expect to get half what you paid. Why Not? consider the following:-
High Retail Markups Profit margins on jewellery are high. Don't blame jewellers too much for this, blame the customers for paying it in the first place. There is more information about this on our How We Do It page, which explains how we can manage to sell our diamond ring production at 30 to 40% below retail price. Most jewellery is sold at double, or even treble, its cost price, ignoring VAT.
VAT When you buy new jewellery, there is 20% VAT to pay on it. You will not get this back when you sell second-hand jewellery. If you bought it overseas and didn't pay VAT on it, then you are asking us to buy smuggled goods!
Wear and Tear Most second-hand jewellery will have been worn, subjecting it to wear, tear, and possible damage. This will reduce its value.
Fashion If fashions have changed, your piece of jewellery may now be harder to sell.
Credit Cards Part of the price you pay in the High Street is charges for the cost of accepting credit cards.
No Guarantee When you sell a second-hand diamond ring, you are unlikely to give the dealer a guarantee with it, yet when you bought the ring, you will have benefitted from a guarantee. Guarantees cost money, and this gets loaded into the retail price.
Competition Although most people think that competition tends to lower prices, it does not always work as you might predict. There is competition between jewellery retailers to occupy the best located site on any town. This usually means the best corner site near to Marks & Spencer, rents for such properties are very high, and usually get grabbed by multiple retailers rather than independents (landlords prefer big companies because of "strength of covenant"). This works to push prices up. Most people buying jewellery want to buy it from a "prestige" store. The jewellers who make the biggest profits can afford to carry to biggest selection of stock giving them more chance of making sales.
Second-hand Taboo Many people would avoid buying a second-hand ring or other piece of jewellery for sentimental reasons. How many women for example would be happy with a second-hand engagement ring?
Manufacturers Profit The manufacturer also needs to make a profit, although it is usually much less than the retail profit.

SALWA memakai cincin berkenaan dalam klip video lagunya yang berjudul 'Hidup Baru'
Kuala Lumpur: "Tak sangka cincin berlian yang dibeli dengan harga RM14,000 sebenarnya hanya bernilai kurang daripada RM1,000." Itu keluhan penyanyi, Salwa Razak yang mendakwa diperdaya rakan baik sendiri dalam urusniaga yang dijalankan beberapa tahun lalu.
Katanya, perkara itu baru disedari beberapa hari lalu apabila dia menghantar cincin berkenaan untuk dibaiki selepas ia mengalami sedikit kerosakan.
"Saya amat terkejut apabila diberitahu oleh pekerja kedai emas bahawa cincin berkenaan sebenarnya hanya bernilai kira-kira RM900 dan segera mengunjungi beberapa kedai lain untuk memastikan kesahihan maklumat berkenaan," katanya ketika dihubungi hari ini.
Selepas mendapatkan khidmat penilaian di sebuah syarikat emas terkemuka dia diberitahu nilai cincin berkenaan hanya RM934, menyebabkan dia tergamam dan terus menghubungi rakannya itu.
"Sebaik menjawab telefon, dia (rakan yang jual cincin) pula yang mempersoalkan tindakan saya membuat pemeriksaan di kedai emas dan bertanya sama ada saya ingin menjual cincin terbabit.
"Kemudian dia kata dulu saya yang beria sangat hendak sangat beli cincin tu," katanya.
Bagaimanapun Salwa menjelaskan kemungkinan rakannya itu turut ditipu oleh pihak ketiga yang merupakan tuan punya asal cincin berkenaan. "Dari satu sudut saya juga bersalah kerana tidak membuat pengesahan ketika melakukan urusniaga dulu.
"Saya serah kepada Allah SWT dan berharap perkara ini jadi iktibar kepada semua agar sentiasa berhati-hati ketika membeli barang kemas walaupun dengan orang yang dikenali," ujarnya.
Buat masa ini, Salwa berharap pihak terbabit dapat tampil untuk membuat penjelasan kepadanya sebelum dia mengambil tindakan lanjut.
