Three Items, Three Outcomes on Bares für Rares

Recent episodes show that expert price estimates do not determine sales because dealer interest and resale potential decide whether an item sells.

Overview

  • A brooch brought by Klaus Speck was appraised at about €3,000 by Dr. Heide Rezepa-Zabel but received no offers in the traders' room because dealers said they had no use for it and doubted resale prospects.
  • A limited-edition bronze golfer presented by Wilfried and Christopher Männlein prompted competing bids and sold to dealer Jan Cizek for €1,650 after Susanne Steiger dropped out at a higher price.
  • An ambiguous small sled-like object shown by Elisabeth Ciraci and Jeanette Köser was reclassified by Sven Deutschmanek as a 19th-century 'gleiter' and given a market value around €50–80, which tempered seller expectations.
  • These outcomes, reported on Monday, August 10, 2026, illustrate the show’s sequence where experts give provenance and estimates but dealers base offers on condition, taste, inventory fit and resale chances.
  • Bares für Rares follows a consistent format with a rotating expert and dealer panel and airs weekdays on ZDF at 15:05 with repeats on ZDFneo and availability in the ZDF Mediathek.
