Bares für Rares’ Signals Dealer-Set Prices and On-Air Rule Breaches

Late‑September broadcasts showed expert estimates giving way to dealer demand, with bidding conduct drawing renewed scrutiny.

Overview

  • Smaller pieces outperformed expectations as a 1920s Art‑déco ring sold for €700 against a €500 appraisal and a David Andersen enamel spoon set brought €270 versus a €180–€220 estimate.
  • An 800‑silver sugar box valued at €750–€850 changed hands for €570 to Christian Vechtel after a last‑moment €20 raise edged out a rival offer.
  • A Meissen jewellery casket estimated at €1,800–€2,100 soared to a €3,200 sale to Fabian Kahl, sharply exceeding the expert range.
  • Authenticity checks shaped outcomes when Wendela Horz identified a supposed diamond ring as zircon in 333 gold, leaving only material value and no dealer card.
  • On‑air conduct drew attention as Julian Schmitz‑Avila withdrew an opening bid on vintage printer’s letters to urge an online sale and, in a separate segment, a dice wager was ignored before a €2,500 deal proceeded.
