Upright Pianos are easier to move and find a new home for. Ours went pretty fast.
Slate Pool tables, those are hard to sell.
We live in a disposable world of plenty. Considering how much of my parents’ house was basically junk (and looking around, mine too) I suppose the fact that a diamond ring will have some resale value is a plus.
I got my wife a birthstone engagement ring, aquamarine. No diamonds. That was a dozen years ago. Frankly, I think she would’ve whacked me over the head if I bought some expensive diamond ring (as it was, I still spent a couple grand, I think.) Neither of us is particularly fond of diamonds. I, frankly, hate them for multiple reasons and think colored gemstones are far prettier. Diamonds are boring. Whatever gene is require to enjoy the sparkle of diamonds I apparently do not have. It’s just shiny glass as far as my appreciation of its aesthetic.
Truer words were never spoken. Great mini-rant.
Reminds of of the Father of the Bride- she wanted a super wedding. Special day.
He added it all up, it came to about $50K. He sat them down and said he’d give them the downpayment on a house… or that wedding. The bride to be agreed, and they were very happy with the decision.
You sir, have a gem of a wife.
My wife also does not like Diamonds.
You mean EX- wife, right? 
Yes, though not till years later!
so, she held a grudge, right?

Heh, just one of many.
