Of course you were only offered $130 for you diamond ring. It is probably all that it is worth to them. Do you seriously think that a pawn shop who wants to make a profit is going to give you the anywhere near the value of the replacement cost? The only people that pawns their stuff are people who are desperate and need the money. For a diamond ring that is 5ctw for $4k, the quality of the diamonds couldn't be better I, I2 and therefore another reason why the pawn shop offered you hardly nothing. They don't want it!!
