It Doesn’t Just Tell The Time…

6th September 2016 I wish I had invested more of my money on pre-owned Rolex when I first began this business many years ago. My investment would have already grown by over 40% in just the last 3 years. Rolex watches have always been in demand. They are a prestige brand that seems to reflect wealth and success and as such their desirability seems to grow and grow.We sell a lot of pre-owned Rolex. They are all fully authenticated, serviced and with a 2 year warranty. However demand since the... Read More

Diary Of A Pawnbroker March 2016

6th March 2016 Gold price is on the rise again. Over the last 3 months the spot price for 9ct gold has risen from approximately £8.45 /gm to around £10.15/gm at the time of writing. That’s a 20% increase in less than 3 months.WHY HAS IT RISEN SO SHARPLY? I am not entirely sure to be honest but clearly there is more uncertainty out there in the global markets than there was 3 months ago and is understandable given the American presidential election, BREXIT, weak oil prices and global stock...

The ‘Perfect Present Service’You don’t have to buy her the usual bottle of expensive perfume and Molton Brown bath oil or him the tie, boxer short and handkerchief set he doesn’t really need. Why not... Read More

AUGUST 2015

3rd August 2015 Schools Out For Summer! The school summer holiday has begun and this marks an interesting time in the jewellers and pawnbrokers calendar. Parents who until now have been managing perfectly well with their work / life balance suddenly have a house full of children demanding money, holidays and most costly of all – their time! What this means for most retailers is a complete slow-down of trade. People don’t have the spare time to go shopping and with the obligatory 1 or 2 week holiday abroad looming,... Read More
