Yes a lot of the items in LV pawn shops are from gamblers who had a winning day, visited the casino jewelry store and the next day had to pawn the itam and shocked at what they got.
JFK is spot on about the mark up. Pawned or sold jewelery was around 60-70% of the gold value, diamond was not reckoned unless it was big and flawless. Even then a fraction of the real value my parents got from a dealer.
