Series 5 Episode 3 on tonight at 6:30 Channel 4.
Is this the current series that seemed to disappear for a couple of weeks or am I really confused and this is just a repeat ?
Seems to have been off over the Paralympics
Ah that makes sense, cheers.

I think it a stretch of the imagination that two separate woman have friends that are willing to lend/give their cars to sell to raise monies so as to further their business/book. I'm calling bo**ox on this one!

I like the programme but it is a programme and made to appeal to viewers.

Realistically if you take handbags into a Pawnbroker and ask for 8k they aren't going to offer 10!

They won't be in business long like that.

Were they buying them for or was the customer pawning them?

It all seemed so contrived. I think they fancied getting themselves on telly and I'm sure James enjoys the kudos of being seen on telly larging it around Marbella in a supercar with some eye candy next to him.
I just can't work out what's in it for the blokes that 'lent' the cars to the women ? whistle

I'm also assuming that the South African guy (72?! Fair play to him!) needed to get rid of the boxing memorabilia to free up space not that he actually needed the money going by his "haha, I've just lost £25k while we were talking" comment.

I did a bit of googling last night and typical interest rates for pawnbroker loans (Prestige may be different) is 7-12% per month!

£100k loan for the 2 cars at a possible £12k/month interest? Are people that dumb/desperate?

Now I have no idea on second hand handbag prices but I imagine over on our sister website handbagheads.com if the eagle eyed viewer spotted that the bags in question were worth considerably more than the dealer was offering they would be up in arms and that would harm the pawnbrokers rep so giving a 'fair' trade in value is better than stinging the punter for a lowball offer.
I was much more sceptical about the whole 'my friend' has let me do whatever I like with his car bunch, the 'hotel' woman especially, her voice/face rang a bell but I can't put my finger on why. scratchchin

I think that's what they said - yet he'll take £5k for it. Wasn't the registration MAG1C on the late Paul Daniels' car? In which case, either Debbie sold it smartish, or he was driving the Peel on public roads with a fraudulent plate.

I think we're seeing more and more 'savvy' people realising it's free publicity for them and their businesses if they can get themselves onto Posh Pawn. The guy made some lame excuse about wanting the money to go to Japan to promote his business, yet had just said he'd spent £84k (I thought he said £24k but SWMBO and daughter both said it was £84k eek ) for Maggie Thatchers robes.

I also asked my wife if she happened to have been married to an Iranian or had any jewelry handed down to her, disappointingly she said no rolleyes

I watched it at my daughter's house. It's not a show she normally watches, so she hadn't seen jewellery valuer "Ian" before.

Her words - "what the hell is that?". That's probably an illegal observation in some way or other. I rather like him because he's just being himself - nowt wrong with that. He has an odd foreign accent, which makes the name Ian seem a bit strange. He clearly enjoys wearing feminine clothes, yet doesn't go the whole hog. Good for you, mate, that's what I say......
