Bares für Rares Week Delivers Overbids, Walkaways and Auction Advice

The latest episodes underscored expert estimates as guidance rather than guarantee.

Overview

  • A mis‑pressed Beatles single presented as one of two copies drew a 500–30,000 euro valuation range, and dealer Wolfgang Pauritsch urged the owner to seek a major auction house rather than sell on the show.
  • A Fabergé‑era brooch attributed to August Hollming sold for 5,000 euros after initial dealer hesitation eased when Horst Lichter clarified the hallmark.
  • A painting by Paul Höcker, estimated at 4,000–5,000 euros, went to dealer Fabian Kahl for 3,600 euros.
  • A 1950 NBN tin harbor crane, estimated at 100–150 euros, sparked a bidding duel and fetched 330 euros from Anaisio Guedes.
  • Two 14‑year‑old cousins declined to sell a midcentury diamond ring after bids stalled near 3,000 euros against a 5,550–6,000 euro expert estimate.
