Overview

• Wendela Horz identified a brought‑in ring as 333 gold with a zircon rather than a diamond, estimating only about €100 in material value and withholding a dealer card.
• Julian Schmitz‑Avila bought an approximately 100‑year‑old Rolex in 375 gold for €1,500 and suggested the seller’s family history could open doors to more watch purchases.
• In a rare reversal, Schmitz‑Avila withdrew his €60 opening bid on 170 historical printing letters and urged the owner to try an online auction instead.
• An unwritten rule was brushed aside when Fabian Kahl overbid Wolfgang Pauritsch after a deciding dice roll and secured an Irish silver beaker for €2,500.
• Dealer prices diverged sharply from expert estimates, including a Meissen jewellery box sold for €3,200 against a €1,800–2,100 valuation and a Dior brooch fetching €250 over a €150–200 estimate, while YouTube viewers criticized €10 bidding increments and one enamel sign was resold on the spot.
