I'm about to hit clvl 87 on ladder, at which point I hope to complete a trade for a -15% shop price gheeds and "convert" to a gold finding set of equip/charms, just so I can play with dumping mass gold on coronet gambles (wasn't it adeyke that pointed out circlets that get upgraded show as coronets, so that circlets in the gamble window are never tiara/diadem?).
Assuming you get a near perfect suffix of life everlasting, the number of awesome/useful prefixes you might be fortunate enough to get with it is quite impressive.
An analysis of the "value" in blowing 3 pGem rerolls on a magic diadem vs. ilvl 50+ GC might be interesting (of course you have the possibility of gambling for the former, if you're high enough clvl, but you simply can not gamble for +skill GCs). If posters are to be believed, the blizz trade forum (ladder softcore uswest) suggests a "value" in gold of ~100k per pgem, btw.
