Lisa Nüdling returns the Loriot classic for a good cause!

What’s going on with “Cash for Rares”? The dealers really get the show going! Elisabeth “Lisa” Nüdling from Fulda made a special return: She handed over a popular bust of Loriot’s humor character “Herr Müller-Lüdenscheidt” to her former buyer Walter “Waldi” Lehnertz. This happened as part of an auction for a good cause, which not only brought in a lot of attention, but also a considerable amount of money. Loud Fulda newspaper This was an exciting return of the bust, which Nüdling described as her biggest win during an episode of Cash for Rares.

But what makes the bust so unique? It dates from 1974 and was originally used as an advertising medium for Loriot's book “Little Guide”. Expert estimates say that the figure is now worth around 250 euros. However, when it was originally sold on the show, the Guth couple, who offered the figure, priced it at 100 euros, which was significantly lower. The experienced dealer Lehnertz didn't miss this opportunity and ultimately bought the bust for 310 euros. In the show, which is moderated by moderator Horst Lichter, there was a cheerful bidding banter among the dealers, which hardly left any viewers indifferent, reported Focus.

Good cause and enthusiasm

Nüdling purchased the bust from Lehnertz immediately after the shipment and intended it as a gift for her husband. However, she recently decided to help the cause by returning the figurine so it could be auctioned off. The auction was successful and achieved an impressive 250 euros for the “Thuringian Relief Fund,” wrote the Fulda newspaper.

Waldi Lehnertz is enthusiastic about the return and even thought about auctioning the figure again himself. Even after the auction, the good contact between the dealers remains, which is what makes the “Cash for Rares” community so special. This episode also featured old, unused Hudora ice skates, which also provided entertainment.

A look outside the box

The show not only highlights the value of the items, but also brings with it many emotional moments. Another highlight was a pair of twins from Saxony who presented an old Villeroy and Boch plate from 1885. They were hoping for a prize between 100 and 150 euros and ended up going home with 200 euros, much to the sisters' delight! These little stories about the objects show that “Cash for Rares” is not just about the money, but also about memories and the joy of discovery, as reported Focus.

Overall, it once again shows that the mix of humor, history and charity in the ZDF program not only inspires viewers, but also brings the entire dealer team together. Cheers to antiques and the stories they tell!
