Overview
- The Dec. 24 ZDF special mixed cooking and reminiscences with emotional moments from Horst Lichter’s team and landed mid-table in ratings, according to DWDL.
- Kahl said on Instagram that a jockey-on-horse bronze he bought for €3,000 proved new and was resold for €500, which he called a painful lesson.
- An expert determined a supposed bronze sculpture was zinc with a forged Gladenbeck signature, prompting Lichter to halt the sale and deny a dealer card.
- Volatile outcomes continued: a Papiertheater with a €50 wish price fetched €1,600, while owners withdrew a sapphire ring after a €3,000–€3,500 valuation against their €12,000 target.
- Dealer risk was on display through big spends and aftercare costs, from a 1930s gold set bought for €4,650 and watch buys at €2,500 (Omega) and €3,000 (Breitling) to restorations that shaped margins, including a Günther Uecker print bought for €1,600, restored for €900 and then listed at €7,000–€9,000.
