 You may have no-ticed their big colour adverts in local magazines and newspapers over thelast few years. This is Roadshow EU. The company buys vintage collectable watches, gold jewellery and big dia-monds from the public, always at secure five star hotels with security protection for their visitors. Who is behind this interesting idea? Husband and wife team, Morne Botes and Shani Petzer started the company a couple of years ago with Morne’s brother Ewil Botes. They have visited every major city in Europe with this concept.
They still manage four teams a week throughout Europe, with great success. High school sweethearts Morne and Shani are originally from South Africa. Aged 21, the couple moved to London.
Initially, Morne worked in accounting and soon built his network of customers from jewellery shops in London. Shani worked in her field of somatology and eventually opened her own Beauty Salon in Belsize Park, North London. The Botes family and their company donates 10% of their annual profits to charity, in 2008 they helped the Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospi-tal Charity raise £115,000 in a jewellery auction. They also gave money to nu-merous charities in the UK, South Africa and Madeira. "We bought a wheelchair for the CAP Cancer charity in Marbella this month, we have always felt that we have been very blessed in life and we enjoy making a differencein people’s lives by helpingas much as we possibly can" says Botes. Roadshow EU will visit Cyprus for the 16th time next week.

Roadshow EU is a Licensed precious metal buyer in Gibraltar, by the Gibraltar Goverment. CHAMBER WARNING ON CASH FOR GOLD Gibraltar Chronicle, 8 March 2010 The Chamber of Commerce (Gibraltar) says it has recently become aware of unlicensed traders in the jewellery business and is warning the public to be aware of the potential dangers of conducting business with such unlicensed traders. "First and foremost if members of the public want to sell unwanted jewellery to dealers, whether the dealers are local or from outside Gibraltar, it is wise to have items valued by at least two different jewellers to ensure that they get a fair price for each item," said a spokesman.
"If you are unhappy with the dealer's valuation do not accept it and tell the dealer you will go to a different dealer to get another valuation."
Secondly, the Chamber says you should only accept cash for your jewellery and never leave an item with a jeweller without a receipt. This is, it says, particularly the case if the dealer is from outside Gibraltar.
"It is extremely unwise to invite anyone unknown to them into their home to value any jewellery they may have," said the spokesman who said:
Ask yourself the following questions:
• Are they a legitimate dealer? • Are they offering a fair price? • Are they paying cash?
The Chamber would also reiterated to local traders in the business that if they are offered second hand jewellery they should be entirely satisfied of where the jewellery has come from and if in doubt ask the seller for proof or its source. |

Engels bedrijf koopt bij De Witte Bergen goud, horologes en sieraden in
“Een beetje geld extra kan geen kwaad”
DOOR JENK VAN MAANEN
EEMNES – “Met de huidige recessive kan een beetje geld extra geen kwaad”, zegt een vrouw uit Bunschoten. Zij kwam gisteren naar De Witte Bergen in Eemnes. Daar warden in een van de zalen sieraden, diamanten en horologes in gekocht. Ook vandaag en morgen zijn er twee inkopers van RoadshowEU actief.
Nicky Pumfleet heft zes jaar ervaring met het inkopen van juwelen en horologes. Het Engelse bedrijf is voor de derde keer in Eemnes. Met honderd bezoekers per dag is Pumfleet tevreden.
“Het goud dat we inkopen is puur bedoeld voor het omsmeldterij in Engeland. Alleen voor bijzondere, antieke gouden sieraden maken we een uitzondering”, Aldus de inkoper. Komt hij er zelf niet helemaal uit, dan wordt er via internet ruggespraak gehouden met het moederbedrijf.
En wie denkt date en gouden horologe een vermogen oplevert, komt bedrogen uit. Horloges worden special ingekocht om doorverkocht te worden aan verzamelaars. Die zijn vooral op soek naar special uurwerken, vaak van staal, met veel mogelijkheden en als het inigszins ka nook nog eens uitgegeven in een gelimiteerd aantal, zo leert zijn verhaal.
Polshorloges leveren op hun beurt weer meer op dan zakhorloges. “daar is bijna geen markt voor”, zegt Pumfleet. “Bovendien is het veel lastiger om aan onderdelen te komen.” Want uurwerken die niet meer lopen, worden gerepareerd.
De verkoop van de urwerken gebeurt tijdens special shows. Daar komen verzamelaars bijeen. Binnenkort wordt zo’n bijeenkomst in Munchen gehouden. “Nee, kopen doen we daar niet. Net zoals we hier niets verkopen.” De transacties verlpen grotendeels via cheques, maar desgewenst ka nook contant worden afgerekend. “Dat geld bewaren we niet hier. Het wordt verzorgd door een college die in een ander hotel zit.”
