ZDF Confirms Return of ‘Waldis Welt’ as ‘Bares für Rares’ Week Delivers Standout Deals

Recent broadcasts highlighted dealer‑driven price swings, with restoration plans lifting values beyond expert estimates.

Overview

  • ZDF officially set Walter “Waldi” Lehnertz’s documentary Waldis Welt for a six‑episode second season starting November 9 at 14:00, with the series also streaming for a year.
  • Walter Lehnertz bought a red children’s pedal car after raising his own bid four times to €250, describing the unusual step as a sympathy bid.
  • A limited Louis Armstrong portfolio estimated at €700–1,000 sold for €1,600 to dealer Anaisio Guedes, topping the expert valuation.
  • A 111‑piece Viennese 800‑silver flatware set appraised around €3,500 realized €2,910 in the dealer room, reflecting weak demand for large services.
  • Dealer Elke Velten‑Tönnies turned a €5,300 purchase of a 3.8–3.9 ct diamond ring into a yellow‑gold bracelet she plans to retail at about €12,000.
