With Robin Kid and Coyotes. This is Confessions for Cash.
Hello Mary of Oxley, Hi, how are you good? Thanks? Mate?
Now you have a confession and we've got money.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
What have you done?
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (00:43):
So, eighteen years ago I pawned my engagement ring and
told my husband that I lost it during our move.
But until this day, he does not know that I
actually pawned it. Why because at the time we were
(01:04):
I was in another job and just tiling it out
and it wasn't working out, and bills were coming in
and I just didn't have the heart to tell him
that the business wasn't working so I needed the cash quickly,
and I pawned my engagement ring.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Wow was it? Was it worth more than his thoughts?
Speaker 4 (01:29):
No? I should.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Corn and jewey does not get you great or rewards.
Did you like the engagement ring?
Speaker 5 (01:38):
I'd like it like we picked it out together.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
And you're still with him?
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Yes, yes, happily married over twenty years. Now.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
What do you think he'd say if he found out?
Speaker 5 (01:49):
I think he'll be devastated. Yeah, I feel like I
can't confess to him. I feel like he will be heartbroken.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Mary.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
It must be playing on your mind for you to
tell me.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Yes, it has. I felt like no one in my family,
no one knows. So this is something I'm getting off
of my chest for like that past eighteen years that
I've just told no one.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Can't we ring him? No, wouldn't honesty be wouldn't honesty
be the best policy? And I just let me pitch
this to you, Mary that at the time you would
have you were doing something to pay your bills like
it was, you were doing something to try and save
him and you And that's a really beautiful honorable thing
(02:38):
to do.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Yeah, I feel like the engagement ring would just kill him.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Okay, even though you've got your wedding ring, yes, and
he's not wanted to replace it, so it can't be
that important to him.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
Yeah, it's it's like it's his art. He had He
has asked me and I said, no, no, it's the right. Well,
we'll get another one, you know, down the track sort
of thing. But it's never I've never like pressured him
into getting me another one because I feel guilty that
I actually pauned my original one.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
As we could up the money, like we're giving you
five hundreds and we can go like six hundred.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
I feel like money isn't the.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
You haven't told anyone, have you?
Speaker 5 (03:24):
No, I haven't told anyone. You guys are the first
people are told.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Okay, thank you, and we always pay for confessions. This
is five hundred dollars. Are you going to tell him
that you've won five hundred dollars?
Speaker 5 (03:37):
I'll him that I just want a competition.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
And he won't. He won't recognize your voice.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
He's a very busy man, so you know, he doesn't
listen to the radio.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
Would you get a nice ring with the five hundred bucks?
Did you get a nice imitation diand or something to
secrets on my.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
On my upgrade to something else?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
Thank you, Thank you for getting it off your chest.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Mary, Thank you guy.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Cheers.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
If you have a story to get off your chest.
Got to confessions for cash, it's at Kiss ninety seven
three dot com dot au. But let's talk more about
things that you sold that you shouldn't have, I.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Know, pawning just it's I mean, I understand it because
at times people, you know, we need money and you
need it quickly, and sometimes that's the way to do it,
to never get any of the value. No, like a
diamond ring that will cost you twenty grand, they'll go,
oh yeah, I'll give you a grand for it.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Is there's someone that could tell us how much they
they would have like got undervalued, like how much that ring?
Speaker 6 (04:40):
No, you'd be a poll to know, Yeah it was.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
I'd love to know, I really would if there's a percentage.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Oh well, and also, what have you pawned that you
shouldn't have?
Speaker 6 (04:50):
Have you got something thing that you Oh I took
that down. I thought I was going to be able
to go back and buy it back at a gift that.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Your family gave it or something that was handed down
through them.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
Yes, thirteen one, six y five. So, but we were
talking about like, if you take a diamond ring, maybe
let's say it cost you five grand, what do they
actually give you when you get to the pawn shop.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Well, Tracy, if gbung works and it has worked in
a pawn shop, what is the value? What usually happens, mate.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Hi, What normally happens is when they bring the piece
of jewelry in and we would check it to see
if it was diamonds or what the stones would be
even if they had a valuation certificate. The rule of
thumb would be roughly ten percent of the value. It's
what we would give the people.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Yeah, I thought it might be a half ten.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Ninety No, no, no, because we can never sell it
for what that reason for what that valuation is worth.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Don't forget.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Evaluation is not what you pay for it. Yes, yes,
you know, you might pay fifteen grand in the ring
might be worth twenty grand on on paper, but it's not.
That's not the price. So so you get.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
In those sums. So it might you might have paid
fifteen it's worth twenty, and then you'll give them two.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Well yeah, and what do you then sell it for?
What do you unsell it for? Well, that would depend
on what it was. Sometimes we would melt it for
the gold gold content only and then reuse the diamonds
and gems into other pieces. But basically the rule of
thumb is, you know, they then have to take it,
clean it, revalue it and and on sell it. So, yeah,
(06:26):
you might you might sell it for I don't know.
If you've got a twenty grand ring and we would
give you two grand, we might put it back out
quite a few months later and maybe sell it for
you know, six grand Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
Thank you money, yeah, thank you, thank you for sharing
your wisdom. Tracy. We've got a we've got a family

Speaker 3 (07:34):
What was It was many years ago? My wife was
