This fascinating documentary series goes behind-the-scenes with the kings of high-end pawnbroking. Just where do the rich sell their fast cars, fine wines and designer goods when they need money? When it comes to pawning luxurious items, James Constantinou's company, Prestige Pawnbrokers, is the place to go for the upper class wanting fast cash, and it's an empire on the move. Along with his quirky team of experts, James seeks to sort the fakes from the fortune making. It's a crazy world where anything luxurious and sometimes unimaginable has a possible ticket on it. Ranging from incredible jewels, to original art masterpieces and even submarines, behind every precious item there is a story to tell.

In this episode, James' manoeuvring skills are put to the test as he test drives a client's 40-foot American motorhome. A self-confessed shopaholic hopes to sell two modern art paintings to pursue a new career in photography. A glamorous divorcee wants to sell some of her designer handbags to raise cash for her hair extensions business. And James and gem expert Kristen jet off to millionaires' playground Marbella to meet a glamorous client with some precious jewellery. James has a taste for the high life; can he drum up enough business to branch out overseas?
