I'm a jeweler, that sapphire necklace is amazing. Her father had great taste.

[@sarasolomon4812]

Hooooold on a minute. That Dior saddle bag was BRAND NEW with the tags, and came with a matching wallet. Out of curiosity I did some quick Googleing. That bag alone is worth more than £500. It's brand new! I understand if the other bags need some work, but that bag was pristine.

[@hellothere-us7iw]

It depends on design and brand on resale market. Even though it still with tags if you aren't a registered reseller the item is automatically tagged as second hand. On the 2nd hand market is very fickle thing, the market tends to go classical designs and not the unique design ones. In our family we usually pool in our money to buy our mom chanel bags, my brother always says we will select the classical design ones.

[@agnes21ie]

She always try to rip off people with handbags!! Once she offered to a lady 2000£ for a few chanel bags and they been in a good condition!!

[@violethart61]

Claudia's appraisals always seem questionable

[@stevep5408]

That was classy to do everything they could to allow him to keep some of his silver. That was some heart to care about the client.

It really shows how human James really is nothing to do with the riff raff he deals with. Mark was a street sweeper (which only means that he isn't a millionnaire) but he has a great eye for good items.

I didn't expect so much heart and humanity to be behind a pawnbrokers business. All the staff have been so personable and were so incredibly kind to do the cane thing for the silver enthusiast guy.

[@QuantumKitty]

Glad she turned down the offer Claudia is always trying to lowball people. She’s the only one on the show that does that.

[@cathybaldry7822]

Yeah so many times she is taking ppl for a ride. That limited edition bag, brand new with the tag is worth way more than what they first asking. Sometimes if you ask for a lowball amount I think Claudia sees it as an opportunity to jip ppl

[@baxoutthebox5682]

Y’all need to understand the market for handbag resale is like the market for clothing resale. Most people don’t buy used, and most items are not worth what you pay. Yes, certain vintage items can be worth a lot but they must be in fantastic condition, and these items aren’t durable. They’re not made to last a lifetime outside of Hermes who makes everything by hand.

[@lisaeaker9064]

Agreed I feel like she wants certain bags for herself so she values low so then she can buy them low priced

[@BrighterThanYours]

A black version of that Dior bag today is worth 7600. This lady is a con artist.

[@maryhaskins3822]

The Chanel Lambskin Green tote bag is worth more than $500 alone !

[@toomanythings]

They pay approx 25% of the current retail value. It's pawn shop prices. You can earn a great deal more selling yourself but you have to deal with the headache and potential scammers and returns. For some people it's just about the fast cash.

[@bougiestocklvrdoc2470]

As an avid vintage Chanel lover, instead of the pawn shops she could take it to a consignment shop. There are so many good ones in London. They would do all the work for her selling it and she would earn a much better price.

People are better off selling their stuff outright, rather than pawn them. Might get a better price.

[@MrJking065]

That would mean you have to deal with all the riff raff. These Posh people are not going to do that. These items you cannot put on Facebook Market Place

[@Fire.Dragon76]

Pawning and selling are 2 different things. Pawning is getting a loan with your item as collateral. You can still redeem your item back within a period of time by paying the loaned amount plus the interest set by the shop. If you want to sell outright, it would be best to eliminate the middleman and just do it yourself. However, this show is old, maybe 10yrs ago or something and the options we have now might not be as available to people back then.

[@sarah.bea.]

With any episodes featuring the Hatton Garden shop the “this was filmed ages ago” excuse doesn’t really work for the ridiculous offers on some of the bags. These episodes were filmed in 2014 or later. I get that they run a business and not a charity but when you seriously undervalue a bag because of a biro mark it’s very fishy. (I’m no expert but I know a thing or two about refurbishing vintage leather bags and most stains inside a bag will come off with the right products)

[@Rantsack]

You know James is going to do what Ian told him about the necklace. James going to have a jeweler remove each of the end pieces and make it into earring and the price will increase by half as a set.

Claudia like to discriminate. She judges people and treat everyone differently, depending on her taste of customers who walks in. The Dior bag is NOT out of style and worth more then $1,500 pre-owned in that condition, Chanel bag is worth more then $2,000 pre owned. $500 for ALL of the bags, Claudia did not like that customer at all, probably because she's from the US.

In one of the first episodes, they were loaning for a 7 month term at 3.9% interest per month. Don't remember the specific item, I just assumed that was the going rate, and different terms based on the amount loaned.

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

I was horrified! £500 for ALL of those bags is a hideous amount to offer! There’s *always* clientele for designer handbags, whether they’re ‘popular’ or not; there are always buyers out there for unusual or less sort after variations of designer bags. I can’t stand the generic designer handbag, so boring! Give me a bit of colour & eccentricity any day of the week. She’d be better selling them individually on an auction website & cutting out the middle man. I truly think they really undervalue bags at Prestige, this isn’t the first time I’ve seen them offer low ball prices.

People truly don’t understand the resale market on bags. If you want to purchase a premium bag, you’re not going to a pawnshop. No matter what condition it is, cut that value in half. Then the pawnshop has huge overhead and invest a lot of money upfront and have to sit on these bags for several months or year. Maybe even more. If someone gets 20% what they paid for a brand back, that’s not terrible. You get the money that day. You don’t have to list it. You don’t have to pay fees. You don’t have to wait
