£250k was the retail selling price.
How many others stores are going to offer her £120k cash there and then ? Not many I'd guess.
There will be different valuations for loans and buying outright I would imagine.
It wasn't a there and then case. They had the necklace for about 3 days or more. I'm assuming she wasn't really after a loan, but could have put it in an auction and waited a month or however long it takes. The horses aren't exactly going anywhere.How many others stores are going to offer her £120k cash there and then ? Not many I'd guess.

She looks cracking for 57..
hmm....she certainly did look good in most of the shots. I was a bit surprised about how he valued the Lambo, but i'm guessing there's a bit more to it than what happened.
Also I didn't really get the watch valuation. They gave the guy £300 for the watches. Their loan/fees is what they charge to the borrower - but it's not their cost of the item. They have capital tied up in them for that period. But if they sell them for £815 that's really £515 profit as opposed to the breaking even they were talking about. They are a business of course with costs etc., but it's not like they're paying the same extortionate interest rates on their capital.
Worth £250k retail and she takes £120k
Old Horseface must have been desperate.
I reckon if she'd have taken it directly to Ian Towning he'd have waded in with a better price.
Or else put it in Bonhams and stick a reserve and hope two Russian or Chinese chinless wonders fight over it.
I reckon the girl with the £120k necklace has pissed all the money on her singing career by now.

re. the bike. How was it worth so much? - looked like a fairly standard R1 which only retails new for about £12.5k? (i.e didn't look like a race-prepped machine)
Also, they made a big deal out of the pawn-shop owner going to have a test ride of it, whereas you can see that (poorly edited) footage showed he only ever rode the green one.
I suppose, like so many shows of this ilk these days, only a very small percentage of what you see is 'reality'

Anyone watch it this week?
An ex cat burglar(now reformed, honest) with some old family jewels. A super-bike manager wanting to raise monies on one of the bikes. Banknotes galore and, a nice touch at the end. All-in-all not a bad show!
I didn't like how smug the cat burglar was when referring to the stolen jewelry he was pawning, "you should see some of the other ones I've nicked in my time".An ex cat burglar(now reformed, honest) with some old family jewels.

Yes I was thinking how ironic/funny would it have been if his jewelry got robbed ......along with his Rupert the Bear scarf.Mcphisto said:

Maybe he really will pay the money back, but in case he is unable to he should take as much as possible for them.
I also found it a little ironic the financial adviser going to a pawn shop due to being exposed to some clients not paying on time.
I reckon he let the cancer lady off because they were featuring it on the show - nothing like a bit of publicity "he's not such a bad bloke is he?" etc. With no TV show he would have flogged those I imagine.
