The candidates are not alone: The calculation of the material value is one of the most common "mistakes" that sellers would make in the ZDF junk show, as

easily set
the
gold value
too low or too high, or make mistakes when weighing.
"You can only count half of it," explains the expert in the case of the watch.
The
gold purchase value
is “2,400 to 2,500 euros”, so their conclusion.
And the
estimated price
at a total of 2,800 to 3,000 euros.
The candidates agree.
In the dealer's room,
Wolfgang Pauritsch
finally even
offers
3,300 euros for the neat pocket watch and wins the bid.
