the ring at that valuation with no proper paper work would mean she tried to scam the pawnbroker. beware of those who act and portray themselves as wealthy but are really trying to take your lunch money. pfft.. she said at the end " I don't know if I am going to keep the ring or take it back to where I bought it" ... earlier in the episode, it was the husband who bought it for her as a gift. scammers
That square cut diamond looked so yellow when Margo was fiddling with it I was shocked when she said her husband paid 20k for it. She buys and resells jewelry to upsize and to not know that the paperwork didn't match is really a stretch. You should honesty be ashamed of yourself :/
Some people start a business and think they know everything, but when they have a REAL expert that tells them otherwise. They start having a fit because they have a business in that and they know better then everyone else..
All I could think when I saw Margo was "all that money, and yet she looks so scruffy and her hair could do with having something done with it." Money can't buy you class.
If Margo was sketchy for you what about the “bishop” who needed cash for charity and raise “Funds” to feed the poor. I know these kind a people want to do “right” in Africa, South America or India and want you to pay for it . Of cores the 4 week Trip for them with rental, hotel and drink will take 97 % of the raised money but they have pictures of a happy schoolkids that shows them with 5 pounds worth of crayons.
Her husband paid 20 k for the ring and she asked 30??? That + the wrong certificat makes her integrety very questionable and the whole world knows that now👍
@@firetomd no the point is she knew the stone didn't match the one on the cert and as a jewelry dealer she should have and would have known the yellow tint wasn't that desirable, I even know that. It's dodgy all round so I'd guarantee they got it from a dodgy person as a reputable dealer WOULD NOT sell a ring with a cert that didn't match it, so probably can't sue them as they were basically scammed, probably by someone down the pub after 2 bottles of wine.
I trust all Nigerians , especially Bishops , the ones that want to pay me a lot of money touse my bank ac ount but also those nice men that phone me regularly because my PC is infected with nuclear devices.
I’m a minimalist, by choice, when it comes to material things, but I find this show fascinating and funny. James is so interesting and funny and always with that straight poker face. All the people and their stories are really interesting too.
‘Posh” is a very English “Working Class” expression! The origin is, when people used to across the world by Ship, The cabins of the wealthy were, “Port Out, Starboard Home”! The best situation on a cruse ship!
Probably why EBAY is the only place where she overvalues her crappy items to poor,unsuspecting customers, in the first place. If you're a true jewellery and gems dealer, you'd think you would at the very least, least conduct your business out of a small, but very secure shop in which to keep your "gold" and "gems" nicely tucked away..... Not strewn about next to your laptop, coffee and daily mail. 100% agree with you. Scam. PS: That diamond gentleman that has a look at a lot of their suspected high end stones, despite his chosen disposition, REALLY knows his items and the business he is in. I suspect his sales reflect that. I can only imagine the high roller clientele he deals with. Nice to see someone knowledgeable and as a honest as that bloke.
@@regularguy9219 I would take my pieces to him for appraisal. He really know his stuff and what the market demands. He has studied the “trends” too which always drives the business.
buyer beware. I think its a situation where helpful hubby saw the clear stone and the size and thought it was a perfect gift, but he didn't know what he was doing. She as an expert of rings should have seen right away that the picture of the appraisal ring and the actual ring were totally different. I think she knew. She didn't like it, which was obvious to me, and made a point of saying that it was the only ring that she didn't buy for herself, which is a slight to him as well. It also showed her hand that she knew it wasn't worth what he paid for it. He paid $20K.
@@heidiquayle5054 ..did he though …that’s what he told her ,it looks £3000 worth at best to me ,I havnt got to the part of its worth yet …..well having watched till the end ,I was way out ,but it dosnt look £10,000 worth to me ..
Oh she’s been driving me crazy the last few episodes I’ve watched her mispronouncing Hermès, It’s like if you’re going to be a hand bag expert at least know how to pronounce the designers names correctly.
She makes out she cleans rings up and sells them for profit, but sells it at a pawn shop and spent the whole time saying what hustlers they were and how rich they are. I bet thier house is 100% mortgaged. Pair of jokers, if they were that rich they would just buy a new 30k ring 😅
I think you’d have to be very lucky or out to rip people off to buy jewellery online, clean it and make a profit consistently enough to make it a business. She was opening a Jiffy bag with a ring posted to her at the start. Who is going to rely on pictures to buy jewellery for profit?
The couple from Kenya, they received a gift and instead of keeping money for themselves they are putting the money back into the people as a gift, that's lovely😊
Margo that was sketchy of you. You know your jewelry so to say you didn't know the tint would reduce the value when you are a dealer is a lie at best. I wonder how many people she has tried to sell it to? Good on the pawn guys but an amateur jewellery dealer would have come to the same conclusion in my opinion.
Exactly it was very off colour yellow and looked nothing like the stone on the papers......... and suddenly it was not a gift from the sexy husband she bought it herself That quality of stone should always be in yellow gold.
You could tell from one look at the picture on the paperwork that it wasn’t the same stone… she’s either not as knowledgeable as she’s making out or she’s totally sketchy, I agree!

@@coronacrisis2.0 Umm just what I was thinking, they certainly don't have any morals trying to scam a professional pawn broker and living a fake lifestyle.
The diamond one... the second I saw it I was like nope. It was what is called a dirty diamond and not worth much. The fact the certificate doesn't match makes me think the hubby got dooped by the dealer whom sold it too him.
A friend of mine who is a jeweler said around 80% of all the diamond rings people bring in to get sized, etc do not have genuine diamonds in them, and another 10% have stones that do not match their certification. She said most of what she sees is worthless in regard to the diamond, and worth only its weight in the gold or metal content.
So pleased to see posh pawns, its one of my favourite show, James and all his staff are just amazing, can't wait to see many many more shows to come❤❤❤ from Aotearoa (New Zealand)
The statue dont look that expensive though it wasnt even an antique it was just random BnQ art decor. The diamond urine coloured well she wants to get rid of it because she knew it wasnt a crystal clear stone.
That may be true, but if my husband was so kind to buy me a ring, I would wear it all the time. A gift a man bestowed on his wife is precious. She is just waiting to get rid of it. So sad.
Man, I am no professional but jeesh at first glance (5:43) even I could see how friggin yellow that stone is. I know fancy coloured diamonds are a thing, but in 2012ish times and that particular colour (especially for an emerald cut) it's an absolute no go. She HAD to have known.
@@anndaniels3545 100% agree. I don't see what she was trying to prove. Some people imagine themselves to be industry professionals I guess? (even if in their own minds....)
@@lynnemarie7885 yes So true! She even said " this is the life.. The good life" in the hot tub. That lady I'm sorry, had terrible taste in fashion and home decor. Her poor dog. Better yet her husband gave her that ring as a gift, it hurt his feelings that she wanted to trade for bigger. Then the bigger won't be big enough
Margo looks like she doesn't have two cents to rub together. That hair is a whole other story..... who would think any of her jewerly is real so why bother.
The diamond is yellowish in colour which can be classified as a fancy. Depending on the size and clarity, that yellow diamond can be extremely valuable to the right market. Fancy diamonds are very rare depending on the 4 c's.
This diamond is not a fancy. It is well down in the alphabet scale of colour. Remember D is very white, the last white is J - this appears quite tinted yellow, perhaps M-N.
It looks like it depends on the light. There are yellow diamonds which are not just off white but that are not the vivid “canary” either. If it can be classified as light fancy yellow then there is some value depending on lots of variables. I have a Gemlock ring with an oval stone that was appraised as “canary” but I, myself would have classified it as light fancy yellow. It’s a brighter yellow than the ring here but I wouldn’t call it a “canary”.

James knew he would be offering £20k against the van and not a purchase of it. Promotions company, festival organisers or someone like Monster or Redbull would be a better option. They just want loans against goods and end up keeping the item for them it to be resold for bigger profit
It is crazy to see the difference between the couple who boast of their wealth and greed, and the couple from Africa who spend their lives helping others. I hope that the first couple make a huge donation after watching this, or decide to volunteer themselves.
As an atheist, religion seems pointless. It makes no sense to me. But the couple from Africa. That’s what religion should be. Giving to those in need. Helping those in need. If more religions focused on that, this world would be a better place.
I have bought and sold a lot of jewelry in my day, and diamonds are a terribly bad investment for resale. Besides, I could see how yellow that stone was with my naked eye when they first showed it.
I think he's dodgy the stuff he was pawning clearly belonged to his mother (who's house he lives in !) Funny too how she wasn't around when the pawn broker came calling to ..HER house 🧐
I don't think he's depressed. I've seen him make a lot of fun statements. But this is a business where he's got to be very careful. With rent on three locations, and payroll to cover, a few mistakes on big ticket items could send him over the edge. I'd just say he's got a lot of responsibility. Cheers, mate.
Even if anyone wants to help the poor or a good cause, does not mean you will get a lot or the amount you want. It's reality. If he really wants to help the poor. He should've sold his Rolex watch instead of walking around the poor wearing something that can support many poor families.
Like the balance of the highs & lows in the valuations.. especially the ring at only 10k..got to be a learning curve there .. especially the integrity of the place where it was purchased.
It's just so beautiful to see how great & imaginative Human Beings are, all with their so diverse dreams, goals, enterprises, specific crafts, thank you James for helping them fulfill their life-purposes ! warm greetings from Switzerland 💖💖💖
I read a book about diamonds once, and it said again and again that you cannot get much money for a second-hand diamond. I am very leery of these valuations such as $20,000 or $30,000 pounds. Take the fancy bracelet - it's a beautiful art object, but where is a modern woman going to wear it?
I thought the diamond looked awfully yellow also but her husband did buy it for her so maybe he doesn't know as much as she does about things like that!!!
The electric bike guy was best... He lives in the real world,. Just because something is old or rare does not mean it is worth a fortune , and he understands it.
I just love ! Love ! ❤ watching this pawn shop 😍 video, channel so much interesting people and items, just 👍 like that electric bike. Wouldn't mind having one for myself . This was really enjoyable to watch for sure.
In most episodes, James visits with that little chap Ian. Interested to find out why there are NEVER any other people browsing. Is it because he chases them out Basil Fawlty style, knowing James must get his full attention, or is it because there is no-one in the least interested in whatever he has to sell?.
People make me laugh. They show these supposably high end diamonds taking them in and out of the cabinet in the house and wonder why they get turned over or is that next week looks like somebody looking for an insurance claim
Those houses were right up on top of each other! I want privacy in my hot tub! She's a very self centered person, the magpie. Poor husband had his feelings hurt when she wanted to sell his ring/ upgrade

I don't think he's depressed. I've seen him make a lot of fun statements. But this is a business where he's got to be very careful. With rent on three locations, and payroll to cover, a few mistakes on big ticket items could send him over the edge. I'd just say he's got a lot of responsibility. Cheers, mate.
@@fringedwellermccatintyre730 agree 👍
The couple with the pool reminded me of Harry Endfield..I’m richer than you 😂
Even if anyone wants to help the poor or a good cause, does not mean you will get a lot or the amount you want. It's reality. If he really wants to help the poor. He should've sold his Rolex watch instead of walking around the poor wearing something that can support many poor families.
He doesn’t want to dip into his money for the bikes let’s steal stuff from my elderly mother 🤦
U can’t take it with u, besides it stays in the family
@@danrook5757 loving the dark humour my man 🤣🤣
Like the balance of the highs & lows in the valuations.. especially the ring at only 10k..got to be a learning curve there .. especially the integrity of the place where it was purchased.
Image being so rich n tricked into buying a fake
It's just so beautiful to see how great & imaginative Human Beings are, all with their so diverse dreams, goals, enterprises, specific crafts, thank you James for helping them fulfill their life-purposes ! warm greetings from Switzerland 💖💖💖
The carpenter is doing the good thing
Big charities have gala's and fancy balls, people who actually help people?.......pawn shop.
you think big charities help people? they spend more money on galas and balls than they do on the people they say they are helping!
50mph e-bike with rim brakes 😬...good luck stopping that in the wet.
"brake early James"
Love Ian!
Love Ian. He reminds me of my aunt.......
The wonky photos on that bishops walls are driving me crazy.
James is totally cool.
I bet Margo’s husband got the cold shoulder for a while 😂
I'm pretty sure they knew it wasn't the same and it was yellow sneaky
Really nice work and great design choices for your first project too much of the time!
Trying to make money on a diamond...lol. She should see if she can trade it to a dentist.
Margo: for someone thats an alleged ring expert, she didnt manage to pick it up herself that ring didnt match photo
I read a book about diamonds once, and it said again and again that you cannot get much money for a second-hand diamond. I am very leery of these valuations such as $20,000 or $30,000 pounds. Take the fancy bracelet - it's a beautiful art object, but where is a modern woman going to wear it?
Could see that diamond ring was a very tinted yellow colour stone if it was clearer or whiter it probably would be 20k maybe 30
True yellow diamonds are worth a fortune. This diamond was just a poor coloured diamond.
I thought the diamond looked awfully yellow also but her husband did buy it for her so maybe he doesn't know as much as she does about things like that!!!
The electric bike guy was best... He lives in the real world,. Just because something is old or rare does not mean it is worth a fortune , and he understands it.
High end doesn't know how to pronounce Hermes
18:40 Putting tea bags into a pan of boiling water 🤣🤣🤣
who 'chucks out' old paintings and rolexes?
I just love ! Love ! ❤ watching this pawn shop 😍 video, channel so much interesting people and items, just 👍 like that electric bike. Wouldn't mind having one for myself . This was really enjoyable to watch for sure.
Good catch Alisha!
Fascinating, thank you.
MMMMMH Intresting to see a Kenyans...
Margo knew, she's a hustler
In most episodes, James visits with that little chap Ian. Interested to find out why there are NEVER any other people browsing. Is it because he chases them out Basil Fawlty style, knowing James must get his full attention, or is it because there is no-one in the least interested in whatever he has to sell?.
I saw someone going in when he was talking to the camera on the steps after the appraisal.
People make me laugh. They show these supposably high end diamonds taking them in and out of the cabinet in the house and wonder why they get turned over or is that next week looks like somebody looking for an insurance claim
8:37 I died cuz I wasn't paying too much attention & I thought someone was calling for me 😂😂😂
I want that electric bike with an upcycled soup can lid 💕💕💕
The diamond ring is more of an K-L color. On the certificate, it shows that its an E color. Very VERY huge difference.
No privacy around those houses?
Those houses were right up on top of each other! I want privacy in my hot tub! She's a very self centered person, the magpie. Poor husband had his feelings hurt when she wanted to sell his ring/ upgrade
They look like a ‘show”. The neighbors sit outside, drink wine and watch them for entertainment!
One small issue with the electric cycle - it's totally illegal. Electric assistance has to cut out above 25 kph.
Men, every women wanted a Diamond as big as a size of tennis ball. Good for you Margo.

The mad making the bikes? I adore him! I really want him to make it.
