Bares für Rares Delivers Surprise Valuation on Christ Painting as Costumed Seller Is Asked to Leave

Recent segments highlight stark gaps between wish prices, expert estimates, dealer bids.

Overview

  • Expert Friederike Werner attributed a family Christus painting to Swiss artist Adolf Frey-Moock around 1920 and estimated €2,000 against the sellers’ €500 goal.
  • Host Horst Lichter was visibly moved by the heirloom’s story, and dealers drove bidding into the four figures with at least €1,400 offered before one bidder exited.
  • In a separate segment, Peter Dinkel appeared in historical costume seeking €30,000 for medals based on eBay research, but expert Albert Maier put them at €2,800 and dealer offers topped out at €1,000, prompting Wolfgang Pauritsch to ask him to leave without a sale.
  • A recent ‘Lieblingsstücke’ episode featured a circa‑1900 amputation saw identified by Detlev Kümmel that unsettled some dealers before Jan Cižek purchased it for €70.
  • A resurfaced 2019 Schloss Drachenburg special shows Julian Schmitz‑Avila buying a Franz Richard Unterberger seascape for €11,000 after an expert estimate of €6,000 to €8,000.
