I totally disagree. I have never seen anyone sell a piece of jewelry for more than they paid for it at a retail store. If you buy jewelry at retail, the chance of ever getting your money back is slim to none.

Also, if you paid $12,000 for a ring and it is now worth $100,000, you would be foolish to return it to Costco. The Costco guaranteed return policy provides peace of mind that other jewelers don't even come close to matching.
