Despite the Goethe original: “Cash for Rares” seller experiences bankruptcy in ZDF junk show. A seller at "Bares für Rares" took the piece he offered home with him.
It was a letter from Goethe. He wanted at least 3,000 euros for the document, which has been in his family for decades. It is a letter dated October 13, 1780, written by a scribe to the electoral Saxon war commission and about the dismissal of a recruit. The interesting thing about the document is the signature under the letter, because it came from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe himself.
