Monica Bellucci and Ferrari – Italians are known for their aesthetic success in export. Thursday, a beauty of the south delighted Horst Lichter and the merchants. A touch of Dolce Vita so to "Bares for Rares" …
The sleek beauty of Bella Italia twisted everyone's head in the Thursday episode of "Bares for Rares". From Horst Lichter to experts and dealers, it's love at first sight. "Baby Gaggia" was the cult object of desire. The photo gallery reveals why the 70s espresso machine was anything but cold coffee.
"I consider it an object of worship, I hope the expert too," said Andrea Halberstadt of Bergisch Gladbach about his brightly colored espresso machine in a retro style. "I saw something from afar" – with these words, Horst Lichter explained why he had brought three coffee cups.
"I think the hammer," enthused Horst Lichter. "Very stylish!" Sven Deutschmanek acknowledged on the company logo that the roots of the machine were in Milan. In 1938, Giovanni Gaggia invented a piston pressure pumping system, with which he made "the first sensitive cream", said Deutschmanek.
"This is a so-called baby Gaggia, which was put on the market in 1977," said the expert. "Already a science in itself", remarked Horst Lichter, while Sven Deutschmanek demonstrated the handling of the machine. "I do not let my own emotions come in, but it's sensational," Deutschmanek said.
Andrea Halberstadt wanted 200 euros for her cult orange object. 300 euros recommended Sven Deutschmanek. "Then there is only one thing left, the dealer card," Lichter said. "And beans," added Deutschmanek. The dealers fell in love with racy Italian just as quickly as the moderator and the expert had been before.
"How can one part with such a thing?" Elisabeth Nüdling (second from left) head. The 58-year-old real estate agent explained that his new kitchen was too small. Big eyes have instead Julian Schmitz-Avila (in the middle): "Awesome." Colleague Lisa Nüdling sighed, "Hach, schön!"
"He is modeled on a big machine and also has this typical start – in pretty good condition," said Andrea Halberstadt in the previous discussion. We immediately noticed that the sale was the responsibility of the broker.
"I start with 80 euros, because it is very beautiful in red," said Walter Lehnertz, apparently color-blind. "Orange," corrected Fabian Kahl (center). No matter, the principal is nice. All offered. Soon, however, the competition was reduced to the classic duel between Walter Lehnertz and Julian Schmitz-Avila.
Walter Lehnertz said his pain threshold was 300 euros, but immediately proved the opposite and followed Julian Schmitz-Avila to 350 euros. "I know you like coffee," Avila said. "You can not get it," suggested Lehnertz. As far as bidding is concerned, courtesy seems to be pausing.
The last offer of Julian Schmitz-Avila was 380 euros. Happy ending for the saleswoman who scored 80 euros more than the expertise. And a happy ending for the two brawlers: "Then I'll have a coffee with him," Lehnertz suggested. "You always give me coffee for nothing," promised Schmitz-Avila.
