It's hard to say.. Auctions are weird. Even like eBay -one item won't get a single bid and need to be relisted but the same one an hour later will go for big bucks. I'm gonna guess with the thread it certainly helps the item get more interest but it's not a big dollar hr by any means. I hate to say it but it's gonna be worth what someone will pay for it. It might bring more non ring guys to the table with a lower start price than other hrs but IMHO I think the start price is plenty high- for a worn ring like that. II would be surprised if the bids ran away like a no reserve eBay listing with lots of looks. Tough call.
