"Expertise from 'Bares for Rares' takes the participant by surprise, prompting an immediate reaction"
In the latest episode of "Bares für Rares", which aired on September 16, a surprising turn of events unfolded. The participant with a golden brooch, Gerhard Matz and his partner Ute Günther, were left disappointed after the expert's appraisal.
The brooch, a 750 gold piece crafted between 1880 and 1990, contains 2.2 karats of old cut diamonds. It was initially examined by Wendela Horz, an expert on the show. The "Bares für Rares" expert set the appraisal price for the brooch at around 2000 euros, a figure significantly lower than the couple's hoped-for selling price of 2700 euros.
This new appraisal price spread disappointment among Gerhard, Ute, and fellow participant Horst Lichter, the show's host. Lichter had been emotionally affected by an antique "Silver Racer" motorcycle during the expert appraisal, but the brooch's low price was a hard blow to the participants' faces.
In a radical step, Gerhard and Ute decided to take the brooch home and hold a family council to decide their next steps. It remains uncertain if they will bypass the "Bares für Rares" dealers after the disappointing appraisal.
The manufacturer of the brooch was awarded the title of best jewelry maker in South Africa at an exhibition in 1880, adding to its historical significance. However, this rich history did not translate into a higher appraisal price in the latest episode.
The family council will convene to decide what to do with the brooch. The outcome of their decision regarding the brooch remains uncertain, adding an element of excitement to the "Bares für Rares" format.
One interesting fact about the brooch is that only one safety pin on it needs repair. This could potentially increase its value if restored to its original condition.
The sudden change in plans adds an unexpected twist to the "Bares für Rares" episode, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats. Tune in to see if Gerhard and Ute decide to sell the brooch to the dealers or if they hold onto it for a potential higher price.
