The guy with the car collection had a green 840Ci I think. Probably didn't work but a nice looking thing. Nice bloke but seemed short of a full deck. Why would you let the cars get in that state? Why not sell them whilst they were worth something if you can't afford / be bothered to maintain them.
The guy with the Hublots / RR Sport was a bell end. Glad to see the elephant was a ringer. Why not stop buying Hublots you plank, they depreciate like ice lollies on a hot day. Be cheaper to create a bonfire from £50 notes.
Anyone else think the lady with the diamond ring was a MILF?

The guy with the Steinway grand piano was like Danny Bakers asset rich cousin
Guy seemed like one of those swashbuckling idiots who wouldn't know how to put his bin out.
The cars he had if they'd have been given a good wash would probably have reached the £25k
some of them such as the Merc SL and the Daimler would be desirable restoration projects.
The other BMW E38's and 8 series would probably rect h a few grand each.

Aargh, voiceover woman keeps saying 'Vintage'. Are they hoping to sell this in the USA?
And if you were desperate for money and hoping to raise it against your old cars, and you had no job and therefore nothing else to do, wouldn't you just spend a bit of time washing them to make them look as good as you could? Never mind spraying a bit of whatever it was on the already-clean windscreen of the roadworthy one, get a bucket and sponge and wash all the mould off the others, at least make them look as if they might be worth something.
Nice lawn though.
Couldn't aspiring drummer have raised the £30k against his apartment in Marbella?

So what's the massive beef !
1 I thought I was watching a documentary !
2 the majority of pawnbrokers are perfectly legitimate and have a good reputation !
Bull s!!!t and a buisiness that relies on a great amount of trust don't really mix
He could have borrowed actual real diamond jewellery and used that as props for the show the nobody would be any wiser
But the junk he used had me amased

Ring was a gift so no CGT to pay
Her story that she had it in her drawer for 20 years and didn't give it a second thought is laughable. The stone looked like cloudy glass. Exceptionally rare to find an almost perfect stone that size. yet they seem to walk in weekly. Even more ridiculous-she had no clue what it was worth. You would have a very good idea and you wouldn't sell it to a poxy pawn brokers. It would be in some fine jewellery auction. My call is the whole show is contrived and it's rather boring.

I can't stand it said:
No worries about tax every major stone on each show has been glass ! The stones are not refractive and show no fire that a diamond would . I'm a diamond dealer and pawn broker with 20 years experience ! These items wouldn't even fool my kids
I was waiting for the end when she'd be told it was worth £3, no way that was genuine...I can't stand it said:

Completely agree. It has to be all for telly. "Cameraman - say £10K so we can give everyone a semi when they say they'll buy it off you for £90K"Im a bloke who has absolutely no interest in jewelry or any of that nonsense but even I knew it was well over the £10K mark.

I thought that, but doesn't this apply? Assuming she was just a girlfriend, not spouse.http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/cgt/intro/basics.htm#3
Making a gift to a child - or to other people or companies - is a ‘disposal’ for Capital Gains Tax purposes. You'll need to work out if Capital Gains Tax is due. However, making a gift to a spouse, civil partner or charity usually won't lead to Capital Gains Tax.
That drummer story made no sense. Got all these Hublots and 2 Range Rovers and he's asking family for a loan. Pawn your watches or car ffs!
I didn't really get the Mustang & DB7, was that Jeremy who was supposed to own them? All I saw was some tatty BMW & Mercedes. There was no red Mustang or DB7 anywhere to be seen, if he had it in his garage I would have thought they would show it and it's work more than £6k too. He really needs to get it together because in a few months the next piece of paper will come asking for money and he's just hanging on to that big house out of pride.

I wasn't sure whether or not he was driving mummies car and looking at daddies watches. After all, if he can easily afford those then 10k isn't going to be an issue.I didn't really get the Mustang & DB7, was that Jeremy who was supposed to own them?

As for that other chap I do hope he decides to sell that mansion, he can surely buy a decent sized house and own it outright...
While I agree that it all looks a bit contrived, the woman with the £90k ring did look genuinely astonished, as did the woman with the £60k ring and the bloke with the £90k painting the other week.
