They bought a $10,000 diamond. They figured they would resell it and then have all of that cash to spend however they wanted. Unfortunately, as well all know, jewelry is WAY over priced and resells way less than what you would pay at a jewelry store, especially one in the mall. They got about $1500 back from selling it, which just barely covered the taxes they had to pay out of pocket in their original purchase.

That's an awesome story and a good life lesson!
