Overview

• Expert appraisals exposed multiple heirloom rings as Zirkonia fakes, leaving sellers with valuations of just €100–€500 and some departing empty-handed.
• A 19th-century trigonometrical slide rule jumped from a €50 flohmarkt find to a €550 sale price, while an oversized industrial candle fetched €2,000.
• Dealers drove fierce auctions on standout items, pushing a Berlin tiger sculpture to €1,150 and a Russian imperial cigarette box to €2,850.
• Upcycled creations transformed modest purchases into high-value pieces, with a €360 suitcase remodeled into a golf-green case expected to resell at €7,000–€8,000 and a €100 Haribo display turned amplifier for €900.
• Not every object wins bids, as a 1958 Polaroid camera sold for only €15—one of the show’s lowest prices—underscoring the unpredictability of its market.
