Concept

In the show, selected applicants each present a curiosity, rarity or antique they have brought with them. Once they have received their expertise, they will have the opportunity on site to offer their exhibit to a changing five-person podium for sale and, ideally, to sell it to the highest bidder for Bares ("cash").

Since July 2017, the station has occasionally been showing special evening editions with unusual exhibits in an extended setting, in which prominent providers also present and sell objects, sometimes for charitable purposes. In this format, there are seven dealers in the sales area.

It can be considered a German spin-off of the British TV format Antiques Roadshow.

Seasons

The show was first broadcast on ZDFneo. Further episodes were shown weekly on the fixed broadcasting slot on Sundays at 1:15 p.m. on ZDF. From 18 May 2015, the show received the weekday slot for the discontinued cooking show Topfgeldjäger.
