In the junk show “Bares for Rares” there are always sensational prices and surprises.
However, one heirloom now caused great disappointment.
In the ZDF show “Bares for Rares”, the sellers come with different expectations *.
While some promise a high price for their antiques, others will be utterly surprised by the value of their flea market find or online purchase.
The same thing happened to a woman from Rottweil who
wanted to sell
a supposedly
valuable heirloom
.
She hadn't expected the expert's estimate.
More on this:
“Bares for Rares”: sensational price for a golden pocket watch - the seller still gets nothing.
Ring with diamond is said to bring 600 euros at “Bares for Rares”
The saleswoman brought a very special piece with her: a
men's ring with a huge diamond
.
She inherited this from her father and originally wanted a sum of 600-750 euros.
Expert
Wendela Worz
, on the other hand, quickly became skeptical - the diamond did not
look
real in her eyes.
A subsequent test confirmed her assumption that it was not a real stone, but just a diamond substitute, a zircon.
Since the ring was not antique either and the material value was just one hundred euros, the woman
did not receive a dealer card
from presenter Horst Lichter.

Candidate wants to come back
The woman was visibly disappointed at first, as she
had been convinced
of the
authenticity of the stone
.
Horst Lichter therefore suggested that the father might have
been
cheated
on
the purchase
.
Expert Wendela Worz thought that was at least possible, but said: "It must not have been a fraud, but it is definitely nothing rare".
In any case, Lichter emphasized that he was very sorry for the lady concerned.
The saleswoman, on the other hand, quickly found her smile again.
She would just
come back with different rings
.
An idea that Horst Lichter also took a liking to: "I'm already looking forward to seeing you next time."
