    I bought this from BERE' JEWLERS in Pensacola in 7/29/03. I have wore it a total of about 150hrs. I had the length reduced by the pro's at BERE' JEWLERS in about 2005. The extra links that were removed will be sold with the bracelet.
    I have not worn this bracelet since about 2006. It has been stored in the back of my safe.
    The weight is 2.71ozs. It is 8.75" long. The makeup is 14K gold and stainless. It is extremely heavy.
    I do not remember what the price of gold was in 2003 but I paid $2900. for the bracelet + $217.50 tax for a total of $3117.50.
    I am the origional owner.
    I have all the origional paperwork from BERE' including the one from when I bought it and the one from having the bracelet shortened. All will go with the sale.
    No trades excepted. The sale will take place at my house in Cantonment if you are local,or will ship. Shipping + insurance will be paid by buyer. I will accept USPS money orders only. They will be verified valid before shipping.
    I just want to get out of it,what I have in it. Price is $3117.50.
    Any questions,just ask. --- SAWMAN

    Here is a paracord bracelet a buddys son made me while having some "down time" in Afghanistan.
    It is made from 550 cord and a stainless mini shackle. --- SAWMAN

    Shit Frank,I can't even give stuff away much less sell stuff.
    This is the main reason that I have sold a large number of guns on another forum. About 12 in the last two years IIRC. Shipping is a huge PITA though.
    I really don't even list them here anymore. Not worth the trouble. I have a bio on my other guns,along with pics and a good friend will take care of the sales when I am gone. I feel comfortable in that and that is all that matters.
    I will sell a few more here eventually,but am in no hurry. I would like to get down to 4 rifles,4 pistols,and two shotguns. That's it. Rest gone. Don't need them,never shoot them.
    Still gonna take this bracelett to BERE's. My own fault it hasn't been done yet. But thinking . . . with an "official" appraisal . . . it still wouldn't sell. ESPECIALLY if I had to raise the price. --- SAWMAN

    You're right Frank.
    Gotta get it back to Bere's Jewlers for "official" appraisal. Thinking . . . the results could be good . . OR . . bad. Wondering what the price of gold was in 2003. I would think that it would have alot to do with the price I paid. ---- SAWMAN

    Got them to explain "Replacement Value". This is for insurance purposes and/or to have another one made/reproduced or to buy (in today's market) another one exactly like it. However,I was originally told,this is a "one of a kind".
    I have a insurance "rider" on my guns,will most likely add this and some ivory onto that. Or . . . put it in my safety deposit box at the bank. My safes are not fireproof. ---- SAWMAN

    I read the first post and I am not clear of your price. Is it $2900 or $3200? I understand it's appraised at more and your not taking offers. I'm just not sure of the price.

    You are correct sir. This is the reason for the high appraisal/replacement value. Add to that,the visibility of virtually NO wear.
    BUT . . . this is truly a speciality item,I understand that it will be a hard sell.
    I was told at the time of purchase that at any time I could trade this in for any item of higher value. Might just get me a good watch or a piece of sunken treasure type coin jewelry. --- SAWMAN
