Overview
- In a recent segment, dealer Julian Schmitz-Avila paid €700 for two 1930s enamel signs after a €600–€800 estimate, then sold one to Walter “Waldi” Lehnertz before the broadcast ended.
- A circa-1922 brooch/pendant totaling 6.67 carats was estimated at €7,000–€8,000 and sold to Schmitz-Avila for €6,300, prompting Wolfgang Pauritsch to joke about running to the bank.
- A 1930s bracelet and ring inherited from a goldsmith were valued at €4,200–€4,500 and purchased by Fabian Kahl for €4,650.
- A 1970s amethyst necklace in 750 white gold was appraised at €3,000–€3,200, well below the owner’s roughly €8,000 goal, so host Horst Lichter withheld a dealer card and the sellers declined to proceed.
- A charm bracelet clip posted by the show drew strong online criticism of seller preparedness after an expert valuation of €3,500–€3,600 dwarfed the owner’s €250 expectation.
