Coin Toss Decides Sale as Bares für Rares Closes Late August With Standout Deals

The latest broadcasts highlighted the gap between expert appraisals and what dealers pay.

Overview

  • A 19th‑century Meissen vase valued at €6,000–€7,000 sold for €5,500 to dealer Susanne Steiger.
  • A 1960s wristwatch in 750‑gold, priced largely by melt value, changed hands for €4,000.
  • A violin‑case whisky set went for €250 after Jan Čížek won purchasing rights on a coin toss.
  • A roughly 100‑year‑old Rolex ladies' watch brought €1,500 from Julian Schmitz‑Avila, who saw potential for further acquisitions from the seller’s family.
