Bares für Rares: 1930s Gold Set Sells for €4,650 as Recent Appraisals Fuel Viewer Debate

The episode shows expert valuations steering outcomes on ZDF's daytime fixture.

Overview

  • Thomas Wundenberg sold a gold bracelet and ring from the 1930s to dealer Fabian Kahl for €4,650 after competitive bidding in the dealer room.
  • Expert Heide Rezepa‑Zabel had estimated the set at €4,200 to €4,500, while the seller initially hoped for €5,000.
  • In a separate case, Rezepa‑Zabel valued a 1970s necklace at €3,000 to €3,200 based on components such as gold at about €1,520 and an amethyst at roughly €1,000.
  • Seller Joachim Paul declined to proceed because his €6,000 reserve was not met, and host Horst Lichter did not issue the dealer card.
  • An earlier clip of Ingrid Maddaus’s charm bracelet appraisal at €3,500 to €3,600 despite her €250 expectation drew online criticism about awareness of rising gold prices, as the show continues weekdays at 15:05 on ZDF.
