• Post-sale work altered the calculus on a ‘Jahreszeiten’ chandelier bought for €1,700 when a restorator found a mismatched candle cup, prompting €300 in repairs and a target resale price of €2,500.
• Dealer Jos van Katwijk bought a century-old cast-iron cylinder motor school model for €650, then reported a profitable resale to a collector in the United States.
• A 1970s diamond brooch appraised at €7,500–8,500 failed to clear the sellers’ expectations after bidding stopped at €4,000, leading to a withdrawal from sale.
