Bares für Rares (transl. Dough for Olds), also known as Cash or Trash in English,[1] is a German television series on Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen (ZDF) presented by Horst Lichter, produced since 2013. It was first aired on August 3, 2013, on ZDF's sister channel ZDFneo and includes 8 seasons with a total of more than 1000 episodes as of 2020.[2]

The show, which was awarded the Goldene Kamera in 2018 and the Deutscher Fernsehpreis in 2019, is considered the most successful show in the ZDF afternoon program thanks to its good audience ratings. On weekdays, around 3 million people watch with a regular market share of around 25 percent, even for the repeats in the early evening program on ZDFneo, up to 1.5 million viewers can sometimes be found. In 2019, the show was viewed by 5.65 million people on average.[2]

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.
