When anya says diamonds are excelent for cursing? I am such a dork but i was thinking of a used diamond and that made me think maybe bad vibes not such a good idea. like I said, huge dork.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/ebay-bad-omen-or-good-deal#post-458669 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:32:26 +0000 bunnylovesbear 458669@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Personally, I would not want a used ring unless it was passed down from a family member.&nbsp; It may be silly, but I totally buy into the whole "bad omen" of using a ring from someone else's failed marriage.&nbsp; even if it IS a great deal.&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/ebay-bad-omen-or-good-deal#post-458646 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:23:27 +0000 sephil 458646@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Both my engagement ring and wedding band&nbsp;are estate pieces. I would have no problem buyin a "used" ring. Even if it came from a broken relationship, you could look at it as giving it a second chance at a happy ending.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/ebay-bad-omen-or-good-deal#post-457476 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 09:09:50 +0000 CorgiTales 457476@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I wouldn't be concerned about bad juju. I believe that YOUR actions/choices determine your path in life and I don't believe that tangible inanimate objects carry with them any universal power. That being said, I'd be concerned about getting what you paid for on EBAY... it isn't really like going to a reputable company like bluenile... ya know? But if you could somehow satisfy the "getting what you paid for" part of it, i think it would be fine.&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/ebay-bad-omen-or-good-deal#post-456850 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 19:09:44 +0000 cardigan 456850@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I don't think it would bother me at all - but I'm not a believer in "bad omens".&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/ebay-bad-omen-or-good-deal#post-456840 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 19:04:40 +0000 star 456840@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>To me, a used wedding band would probably bother me, but if it's not an issue to you, go for the good deal!</p> <p>That said, we got our rings off of Ebay new and love them :)</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/ebay-bad-omen-or-good-deal#post-456782 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 18:37:32 +0000 pmerr 456782@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Sometimes you can find new items on ebay...it doesn't mean you're getting a used ring.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/ebay-bad-omen-or-good-deal#post-456732 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 18:11:04 +0000 rosychicklet 456732@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I have an estate ring- the history of which is unknown.&nbsp; It doesn't bother me that it might have been someone's.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/ebay-bad-omen-or-good-deal#post-455597 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 19:44:44 +0000 KMSull 455597@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>There have been a couple of threads about this, but I can't seem to find them... honestly, I don't believe in "juju" or "auras" or "luck"... that being said, I'd like to have something special made just for me! Etsy has so many amazing things at resonable prices, I'd look around there first before hitting ebay! Ebay is waaaaay too overwhelming for me.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/ebay-bad-omen-or-good-deal#post-455592 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 19:42:11 +0000 Mattel 455592@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I think I believe in the 'bad omen' idea. Buying it from someone who is selling it because the marriage didn't work to me isn't a good idea. Something passed down from a family member or something is one thing but I wouldn't like the idea of wearing someone else's ring, especially someone I don't know. If cost is an issue, just google exactly what you want and look through some different vendors. Try froogle.com - google's shopping comparison site - and search for just what you're looking for and compare costs.</p>
