Seller Ends Bares für Rares Auction at €250 During a Week of Standout Deals

Expert appraisals and brisk dealer bidding drove eye‑catching sales and a rare on‑air dispute on ZDF’s daily antiques show.

Overview

  • Karl‑Heinz Ufheil accepted Jan Čížek’s €250 offer mid‑negotiation for a vintage vulcanizing kettle, abruptly closing the bidding and drawing protest from dealer Roman Runkel.
  • A diamond brooch totaling 6.67 carats with 1920s provenance drew strong competition and sold for €6,300 to Julian Schmitz‑Avila after Wolfgang Pauritsch quipped about needing a bank run.
  • A necklace initially presented as Art Deco was reidentified as circa 1910; valued at €500–€600, it ultimately sold for €800 to Elisabeth Nüdling after a duel with Daniel Meyer.
  • Dealer Jos van Katwijk detailed a restoration flip: a wooden lounger bought for €275 received about €500 in work, with a targeted resale price around €2,500.
  • The long‑running series continues its weekday 15:05 broadcast on ZDF, with episodes available in advance in the ZDF‑Mediathek.
