Overview

• Multiple lots surged past estimates, including a Meissen jewelry casket sold for 3,200 euros on an 1,800–2,100 euro estimate, a Dior brooch at 250 euros over a 150–200 euro valuation, and diamond rings that climbed to 8,700 and 16,000 euros against lower expert ranges.
• Other items underperformed or failed to sell, such as a 1740 ritual whip-stock let go at 1,000 euros below expectations, a Thai gold jewelry set accepted at 3,900 euros beneath a 5,000–6,000 euro estimate, and a family bronze figure that drew only 1,000 euros and was declined.
• An on‑air authenticity check found a supposed heirloom diamond to be zircon in a 333‑gold ring, leading to no dealer card and an estimated metal value of about 100 euros.
• A production mishap broke an element of a 1970s Mazzega lamp set before evaluation; the expert said replacements are available and stated the ZDF team would cover the damage, yet the dealer room topped out at 600 euros and the sellers left without a deal.
• Dealer tactics stayed in focus as one withdrew a bid and advised an online auction, another flipped a newly bought enamel sign before the episode ended, and viewers on YouTube criticized low opening offers and 10‑euro bidding steps.
