No, people are prepared to pay for something shiny. Nobody here says that someone handing over £5k or 10k for a Rolex is beng ripped off, when other people offer very high quality automatic watches for 1/10 of the price. You want it, pay the money. You don't, then go elsewhere. Nobody *needs* a diamond ring or a Rolex.
Correction. I *need* a Rolex. My girlfriend doesn't *need* a diamond ring... wink
Indeed

How else would you tell the time.
Tell the time badly too.

Ebay is very hit and miss. Once you take away your fee's and postage cost you may not get much more than the scrap value anyway. Another avenue you could try is to try and get a local jeweller or pawnbroker to sell it for you and they take a fee, usually around 10% of the sale price.

Palladium is worth next to nothing unfortunately. It's a very poor quality metal. Very much a 'recession' metal.
