"the ZDF show is the popstar among countless rummage-shos and is particularly popular among a young public."

"Bis zu 25 Prozent Marktanteil erreicht Bares für Rares nach nunmehr sieben Staffeln und fast 400 Folgen; in der werberelevanten Gruppe der 14- bis 49-jährigen werden ÖRR-unübliche Spitzenwerte von 16 Prozent erzielt."

"Bares for Rares achieved up to 25 percent market share after seven seasons and almost 400 episodes; In the advertising-relevant group of 14 to 49 year olds, ÖRR-unusual peak values of 16 percent were achieved."

Bares für Rares earns a commendable 7/10 for its delightful blend of interesting antiques, engaging appraisal moments, and a likable cast, including the charismatic man with the impressive mustache. This show stands out for its accessible and enjoyable approach to the world of antique dealing.

One of the show's most appealing aspects is the variety of unique objects brought in for evaluation. Each episode is a mini adventure into history, with items ranging from the ordinary to the extraordinary. This diversity keeps the show fresh and interesting, providing educational snippets about the objects' backgrounds and worth.

The host and experts, including the standout gentleman with his notable mustache, add a personal and friendly touch to the show. Their interactions with the guests and each other are genuine and often humorous, making the show more than just about the antiques. Their expertise and passion for the items are evident, adding depth and credibility to the evaluations.

Moreover, the guests on Bares für Rares are relatable and bring their own stories, adding a human element to each transaction. This connection between the objects, their owners, and the experts creates a comfortable and engaging atmosphere.

In summary, Bares für Rares is a well-produced and entertaining show that successfully combines the excitement of antique discovery with informative and friendly banter. It's a show that appeals to antique enthusiasts and casual viewers alike, thanks to its charming cast and fascinating array of objects. The overall pleasant and unpretentious vibe of the show is what earns it a respectable 7/10.

I watched this during my week in Italy recently since it was on there and I don't speak Italian. Anyhow, this was enjoyable and informative. Sellers with unique antiques, vintage items, collectibles and general oddities bring them in to be evaluated and assessed and sold on once they have an idea of the value. You always learn something new you didn't even know you needed to know and bonus points for it not being rushed as is the case in American shows that are all hurry, hurry, hurry. Finally something educational AND relaxing. A show that combines my two great loves which are shopping and history. I guess this is the German Antiques Road Show.

My old dad (70) watches the show regularly and I've watched with him a couple of times. The moderator (Horst Lichter) is an over the top nice toady, that's not normal. There are mostly retirees who want to sell their (antique) bulky waste or jewelry there. The articles are repeated again and again, only the sellers change.

I think this show is mostly watched by old people. It is terribly boring and the moderator is a stupid ass-kisser, because of his played friendliness. The expert (Heide Rezepa-Zabel) was also noticed negative by her arrogant and snooty style. The show should be discontinued, in my opinion the show is dead.

This show depicts the sellings of antique and special stuff, like furniture, popculture, art, jewellery and curiosities. The specialists for the different objects do a great job, you learn something every episode, the antique dealers are often funny, sympathetic and also very well-known in the world of old stuff and Horst Lichter is a charmingful delight, who carries the premise of the show perfectly.
