“Cash for Rares”: Grandma’s necklace brings four times the desired price

“Cash for rares”
The sports siblings are happy about this: Grandma’s necklace brings four times the desired price

The sellers at “Cash for Rares” would actually have been happy with 300 euros, but the expertise turns out to be significantly cheaper. Things get even better in the dealer room.

Anna and Til Scheidel want to sell a necklace from their deceased grandmother at “Bares für Rares”. Moderator Horst Lichter is completely enchanted by the two siblings from Niederkassel, because they are not only on the ball professionally, but also extremely sporty: She is a competitive gymnast, he plays basketball.

But now to the chain she brought with her: As Wendela Horz states, the pendant was made in the late 1970s and is made of 585 gold. The pendant contains a 10 ruble coin that was minted in the Soviet Union in 1976 and is made of 80 percent gold and ten percent copper. The expert dates the chain itself to the 1980s and is made from ship anchor links.

“Cash for Rares”: The expertise alone exceeds all expectations

The siblings would like 300 euros for the necklace, and they want to use it to treat themselves to a vacation with their big brother. Horz has a completely different idea: “I can’t meet the request for 300 euros at all,” she begins her expertise. The Scheidels are very pleased with what she then says: the gold purchase value alone is 960 euros, and she estimates the total value to be 1,100 euros. This is a big surprise for the sellers.

But things get even better in the dealer room: David Suppes is offering 1,000 euros right from the start. Since no one else is bidding, the negotiation now runs between him and the sellers. They cleverly drive up the price by bringing their third brother into play, aiming for a price that is divisible by three.

Suppes actually does them a favor, and the siblings go home with four times what they had hoped for.
