Just found an old wedding ring. Big ole hunking piece of Platinum...
What's the best way to turn this puppy into some vacation money? Take it to a jeweler, one of those we buy gold places, a metal recycling facility???
Who pays the best?

Probably. If you can sell it as a ring, you will get more than if you sell it for its gold content. Even with gold being sky high, unless it is a massive ring, you probably won't get more than $100 for it.
Weigh it, if you can, and figure out exactly how much gold is in it, then figure you'll get maybe 20% less than the actual gold value.

<edit> Whoops. Just insert "platinum" where I said gold.

Find an older, widowed rich woman.
Fck her brains out for a few weeks.
Give her the ring.
Profit.

Yeah I don't think I will get anything for it via craiglist as a ring.
It's hand crafted and all that, it's kinda cool (to me) but it's nothing 'special' - just carved up platinum.
Found a good high end precious metal refiner that is local. Gonna find somewhere to weigh it, and then take it in and see what they will give me for it.

I'd be willing to marry you but you will have to bring two sheep and a goat to the table.

The top of your head is kinda flat, I could but a beer or a slice of pizza on the top of your head while it's bobbing up and down...
Two sheep and a goat, hmmm...
