Overview

  • Recent episodes have showcased items like a Dior competition necklace and a pre-1850 Dutch brooch fetching up to €760 and €4,000 respectively, far surpassing sellers’ expectations.
  • Amateur sellers such as Dirk from Hamburg and Angelika have seen their pieces valued significantly above initial bids, underscoring the show’s expertise-led discoveries.
  • Common artifacts including a 750-gold tourist ring and an 1870s French safe sparked fierce bidding, yielding sale prices of €1,200 and €2,000.
  • Not every entry succeeds: a Girard-Perregaux pocket watch remained unsold after its €10,000 asking price and a restored Wurlitzer jukebox drew no acceptable offers.
  • The show drew 1.81 million viewers on Tuesday and captured an 18.8% share among 14- to 49-year-olds, marking its strongest performance in over a month.
