Overview
- ZDF confirms Bares für Rares XXL for Wednesday, Oct. 22, 2025 at 20:15, themed “Voll im Trend” with guests Niklas van Lipzig and David Martin (“Die Dudes”).
- Recent highlights include an 1840s diamond brooch valued at €5,000 that sold for €4,000 to jeweler Susanne Steiger, while a Meissen‑marked jewelry box beat its €1,800–2,100 estimate at €3,200.
- A seller halted a near‑final sale by reclaiming two Steiff plush toys, underscoring the show’s emotional stakes even when bids reach expectations.
- Dealer dynamics stayed sharp as a Ludwig Passini painting went for €3,000 after tense bidding, and a silver tray with 30 inset coins drew a three‑dealer joint purchase at €9,000 against a €14,000–15,000 valuation.
- The Händlerstücke spin‑off kept showcasing creative refits, from an enamel plate turned into a weather station to a ship’s spotlight reworked as a disco light and a collage project fashioned into a ‘rocket’ display.
