***Roadshow EU visits Costa Del Sol every month***

Roadshow EU, a London based company have their eye on the drawers and jewellery boxes in which the people of Marbella keep their unused jewellery. “People often forget about their valuables for years once they have bought them or inherited them”. Morne Botes, owner, tries to persuade them to open the boxes and let him appraise the contents. “Because of the rising prices of gold it is a very good time to sell”.

For the next few days Roadshow EU whose name comes from the Antique Roadshow, the British television programme will be in the Gran Hotel Guadalpin Marbella appraising and buying all jewellery and collectable watches. “Watches are our main interest and we are looking for all Rolex, Omega, and Breitling watches.”

Modern jewellery goes straight into the melting pot, but Roadshow EU sells on sought-after watches and Victorian jewellery to private collectors.

Roadshow EU is an easy alternative to Auction Houses. Auction Houses charge high commission and you still have to pay charges even if your items are unsold. “We value your items immediately and pay cash”, says Botes. They encourage anyone who is interested to stop by and offer each potential client an appraisal and historical background on their piece free of charge.

According to Botes, 95% of the people who come in to inquire about their pieces end up selling. He attributes this impressive figure to the rates they are able to offer. With seven years of experience, the team evaluate the gold market and offer clients only the highest price. To prevent fraud, all the sellers have to show their identity.

Roadshow EU is a family owned business and 10% of their annual profits are donated to charity. Visit www.RoadshowEU.com to see when The Roadshow will return to Marbella and Gibraltar.
