Six years ago, groom-to-be Josh Opperman came home from work and found his Manhattan apartment was empty except for the engagement ring his fiancée had left behind.
And that event wouldn't be his last disappointment: Opperman found that the most he could get a jeweler to give him for the ring was only 30 percent what he paid for it.
Inspired by his experience, Opperman started idonowidont.com. It's a marketplace for people looking to rid themselves of their once-prized wedding jewelry.
"People aren't weirded out or thinking about bad karma," he told us. "It's not like you knew where your ring came from before you bought it in a store."
We checked out the stories of people selling their rings online and found reasons ranging from scandalous to strange.
