This newsletter is sponsored by Shar’s Boutique a Bonanzle booth of distinction where you can get gifts such as jewelry embellished with Swarovski crystals and much more!
…and by: iCollector.com. which brings live auction action, right to your home. With iCollector.com, you can bid competitively in real-time, on thousands of items from auction houses throughout the country. It’s safe, secure, and a lot of fun!
Tip of the week:
OK, this one is for those of you who attend live auctions. It’s a little shrewd, but fair. If you buy within certain niche genres at auction, keep a close eye on your competition which bids against you on like items. Pay special attention to when they leave the room for a break, and take advantage of this when said items come up on the auction block.
