2/27    Say you're upgrading your wedding band, what's a good place to
        trade in your old one?
        \_ http://www.tradeshop.com
        \_ You might start with the jeweler where you're getting the new
           one. They might even make the new one out of the metal from the
           old one, which would save you money and provide some continuity
           from the old ring to the new one, if you care about that kind of
           thing (which it sounds like you don't).
           \_ Yeah, I mean, metal is metal... is it suppose like, contain
              some type of soul or meta-aura inside it or something?
              \_ sounds silly but you will get serious brownie points for
                 saying "this is made from the same metal you bought for me
                 sweetie" etc
                 \_ Not just brownie points: sometimes it's non-negotiable.
                    When I broke my ring finger and had to have the ring
                    cut off, my wife _insisted_ that I get the band repaired
                    instead of replaced. YMMV. --erikred
              \_ If it's just metal why bother with the wedding band in
                 the first place?
           \_ I don't think most jewelers like to work with old
              metal--different alloys have different metal ratios and purity
              levels, and mixing two batches doesn't always turn out well.  But
              your best bet is to ask a jeweler who does custom work.
