Several things that I don't understand with the Posh Pawn Porsche of 17th February 2016 on Tv.

If you are in the business of creating retro 911s to sell why do you approach a pawnbroker to buy it ? Don't you sell it to a customer ?

If you need to raise some money you sell your asset, the Porsche, for top money to a retail customer, not have a pawnbroker try and sell it into the trade for you.

It seems to me that this seems a bandwagon to jump on and make money by guys with little or no motor trade experience doing retro Porsches.

In motor trade sales you have two types of customers. Retail and trade. Ideally you sell your cars to retail customers but plenty of traders do "trade deals" with other traders or put items of stock into auctions.

Despite my many years of dealing and trading this is a new approach to me. It doesn't help the future business that nobody was prepared to buy it.

The program itself is pretty poor really, it's nice to see interesting items though. I don't like the characters much... except for the bag lady! smile

Is it me or are there some sad vicious, jealous Porscheless sad individuals that get a kick out of bhin about cars from their mums spare room coz they have nothing else in their lives to be happy about ?

What's wrong with people on here?

Some contributors definitely need to have a large Jack Daniels and relax instead of typing nasty bks all the time?
