In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Ich fang mit achtzig Euro an” is a rare card of the German Memes pack, number 68 of the collection, and the 39th best-known meme of its 300 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Ich fang mit achtzig Euro an” meme mean?
The line mimics the moment a dealer opens bidding on an item, naming a first amount that a rival will quickly top. People reuse it to poke fun at a timid opening offer, or to play out a haggling scene when someone proposes a low number before raising it. It evokes a whole television ritual : the tense silence, the glances between dealers, and that first offer that kicks off the bidding duel under the seller’s watch.
Where does the “Ich fang mit achtzig Euro an” meme come from?
“Bares für Rares” is a German show hosted by Horst Lichter, where contestants present a curious, rare, or old object to experts, then offer it to a panel of five dealers who bid against each other until one of them wins. Opening the bidding with a precise amount, such as “eighty euros”, is part of the show’s ritual : each dealer states a price, then raises it or drops out, until only one remains to take the item home against cash, the “Bares” of the title. The line ended up circulating on its own, detached from the set, to evoke that exact moment a negotiation starts on a number.
How to use the “Ich fang mit achtzig Euro an” meme
- Saying it to open a haggling joke, like the start of a televised auction.
- Dropping it when someone proposes a slightly low starting price, playing the cautious dealer.
- Quoting it among fans of the show to evoke the bidding atmosphere of the set in one line.
