Overview

• ZDF confirmed the next Bares für Rares XXL for Wednesday, 22 October 2025 at 20:15, themed “Voll im Trend” with guests Niklas van Lipzig and David Martin, and the special will stream afterward in the Mediathek.
• Recent episodes highlighted sharp gaps between estimates and sale prices, including a 19th‑century pearl‑and‑diamond collier that drew €5,500 after a €1,800–2,000 appraisal and a Louis Armstrong/Arno Waldschmidt portfolio that reached €1,600 above a €700–1,000 estimate.
• Walter “Waldi” Lehnertz created a first for the show by outbidding himself four times on a children’s pedal car as a “Sympathiegebot,” and he cited an internal Ehrenkodex when buying a low‑demand Flachshechel for €80.
• Follow‑ups exposed value risks: a seller’s Kunstdruck appraised at €25 sold for €250 after withheld detail in the Händlerraum, and a leuchter bought for €1,700 later needed about €300 in restoration after hidden issues emerged.
• Other outcomes underscored the market’s range, from a charity Playmobil police figure that raised €600 and a first‑time document‑clip collection at €650 to soft demand for a 111‑piece silver service that sold for €2,910 and an Olympia bronze that fetched €3,100.
