They ripped her off that gold rat is worth a lot more! THEY ARE THE RATS!

Probably offered scrap price , especially if the chain was also solid gold.

The Golden Rat - Now that is a brilliant name for a pub !  :D

Rip off merchants, shame on them!!!!.

£500 for the gold, gem-studded Cartier rat pendant was a ripoff.

Someone who celebrates a Halloween party, this would work for it

I would buy that rat,I love it!!

Those pawn shop people are the rats.....I worked for Cartier.....it's a valuable piece....they are CON ARTISTS

Current value is between £2000 - £4000...

Poor Jo she was a trooper and she had enough and left .. I don’t blame her she was in a rotten position

I believe this was eventually valued at £50,000, but that is a massive underestimate if they target the right international market. Vintage, custom Cartier holds legendary prestige in India because the brand famously crafted masterpieces for the Maharajas, and the rat is a highly respected, auspicious animal in Hindu culture. Combine that with Eastern zodiac traditions where the rat represents immense wealth and cleverness, and this becomes the ultimate status piece.

Wealthy families in China and India spend millions on extravagant weddings and milestone birthdays where gifting rare gold jewelry is a major tradition. If an auction house got affluent Chinese and Indian collectors bidding against each other to secure a custom piece with this kind of bespoke history—whether as a family heirloom or a birthday gift for someone born in the Year of the Rat—a massive bidding war would easily push it to an absolute fortune!

I always find people in this live way beyond their means.😮😮..

With the price of gold today they may get a little more for it.

I would buy it for more than that, it's lovely

Hope you all realise that this episode was on Channel 4 back in 2014 so gold prices lot less than todays 2026 prices

I am disappointed that the circular bale on the creature's collar is not soldered closed.

I loved that show. Pity he fired Joe at the end and replaced with his gf

I would buy the rat 🐀 love them 😊

With the economy doing so badly more pawn shops will open.😢

What a rip off. That rat was adorable.
