Anyone else watching million pound pawn?
Discussion
Im assuming that people arent aware of what they have got, most average people wouldnt have an Idea about that about that watch as its not a common name like Rolex.
And the Earrings, she thought they were glass.
They do have overheads and stuff and need to make a profit.
And on the opposite end of the Scale, the guy with the Lowry who wanted 18K, just because it was a Lowry, at least the guy made an effort to find someone to pay close to what he was asking for it, rather than offerinf him the 5K that the art expert said he should offer.

Glad the woman with the Rolex and Tiffany stuff saw the offer for the low ball it was.
£8k for a still stickered Batman is firesale prices, hilarious to hear him banging on about it being 'secondhand' now and keeping a straightface, £8k is current 'new' price, but you can't buy one so gray price is £15k I imagine Watchfinder would have bid over £10k but obviously these places do have to make a living so you're never going to get offered 'retail'.
Unusual for someone on one of these programs to have the slightest idea what the value of anything is, I just can't work out where the things come from, the Patek Philippe appeared to be without box or papers, who owns something like that and has no idea what it's worth? Have these people not heard of Google, there appears to be someone next week with a Rolex Daytona, it says what it is on the dial, how hard is it to look that up.

That went well for the buyerhttps://live.adampartridge.co.uk/m/lot-details/ind...
There's some fairly strong rumours around that at least some of this was faked with provided items. You can guess which ones.
Funniest bit to me was the attempts at one end of the scale to dress up as a high end jewellers, and at the other end to dress up like a footballers house. Not that long ago the same players looked a lot less flash.
Interesting that it was all about 'buying as a middleman' trades not loans against goods - if you want to sell something why go to a pawnbroker? Just seemed odd, especially for the stuff they were looking at.
Whole thing seemed like a promo advertorial.

Did understand that at all - valued at 3-5k to sell for 10 and he pays £15k - WTAF!!!I just can't understand why you'd use these people if the goods are legit - surely you'd go to an Art dealer / Jewellers / Auction house etc.
