<h3 class="post-title entry-title">Building Personal Wealth Trading in Antiques, Collectibles &amp; Fine Art</h3>
<div class="post-body entry-content">
<div><a href="http://www.31corp.com/marketplace/detail/72"><img style="display:block;cursor:hand;text-align:center;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_sozZZCWv_aU/SG4vrrZAPxI/AAAAAAAAA5g/lslryG33zkc/s320/1212682558-007%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;"><strong>Hutschenreuther Short Haired Pointer Figurine is offered at<a href="http://www.31corp.com/marketplace/detail/72"><span style="color:#cc6633;"> 31 Galley &amp; Marketplace </span></a>for $650 </strong></span></div>
<p>I’m on the move again, this time to the Great Smoky Mountains. Not having my reference books and the internet at my fingertips, I was thinking about what I could share today. When we passed a Greyhound bus, I knew I had the subject for today: Canine Collectibles.</p>
<h4><strong>Collectors of Dog Figurines and Art Will Pay Big for a Special Piece. The more life-like the piece, the more it will bring in the marketplace. Like everything else in this field, quality counts.</strong></h4>
<p><strong><br />
</strong>At one time, I had a fabulous collection of dog items which included everything from porcelain figurines to limited prints of special dog breeds. Did you know that dog collectors will pay almost anything for special pieces that represent their favorite breed? If you can find interesting pieces that appeal to the canine collector, this field holds unlimited opportunity to make money.</p>
<p>A few of the breeds that command high prices from the collectors are the Borzi, also known as the Russian Wolf Hound, the Bull Terrier, and the French Poodle. I have sold porcelain figurines by such companies as Meissen, Rosenthal, Nymphenburg and Royal Worchester for several thousand dollars each of the Borzi.</p>
<p>The Bull terrier is on my favorite list to watch for. If you run across the large Royal Doulton brindle Bull Terrier, in the large sizes, you’ll find that prices might reach as much as $15,000. Another key piece for this breed is the Marshall Boehm figurine, and you can almost set your price for this if you find one of these. And, the French would have my tail if I didn’t mention the highly collected French Poodle.</p>
<p>If you find any of these pieces, be sure to purchase them quickly before the person behind you sees them, because they never last long at a sale. There are bronzes, glass, pottery, and many other representations of these dogs that could substantially add to your profit once purchased.</p>
<p>Let’s not leave out paintings, prints (I have one of a champion Fox Terrier that I have been offered $1000 for but think it is worth more), advertising pieces, silver cups given to the winners of dog shows, and even medals awarded to the best of a show. If you have doubts as to this market, go to eBay completed auctions and see for yourself.</p>
<p>I once had a friend that called me about three pottery dogs he found and asked my opinion of them. When I did the research, I found that they were very rare, so I suggested that he ask $1,000 apiece for them. And guess what. I wasn’t even close. They reached almost $2,500 each. I just saw where a pottery Whippet dog sold for well over $12,000. With figures like these, I don’t think I need to further encourage you to look for canine collectibles. Remember, the more life-like the piece, the higher the value will be in the marketplace, and quality and condition count.</p>
<p>If it goes bow wow, then it is worth taking a look at.</p>

<h3 class="post-title entry-title"><em>Building Personal Wealth Trading in Antiques, Fine Art &amp; Collectibles </em></h3>
<div class="post-body entry-content"><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_sozZZCWv_aU/SGzjPu6xmpI/AAAAAAAAA5Y/VVT9sxrdpIY/s1600-h/picture1%5B1%5D.jpg"><img style="display:block;cursor:hand;text-align:center;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_sozZZCWv_aU/SGzjPu6xmpI/AAAAAAAAA5Y/VVT9sxrdpIY/s320/picture1%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> <strong><span style="font-size:78%;">Richard Satava Plum Nautilus Black Sea Foam Lidded, 19.50&#8243; high by 8.25&#8243; wide,is offered at <a href="http://www.satava.com/gallery/vases/3134-05"><span style="color:#cc6633;">Satava.com </span></a>for $3,600</span></strong></div>
<p>I am always looking for something to add to my inventory of knowledge, and I think I have found a winner. One of our members put me on to Satava Glass, and I can assure, I will be encouraging our members to take a look at it and to also be ready to purchase pieces if they become available in their search. You can see this wonderful glass highly skilled artist, Richard Satava, at <a title="http://www.satava.com/" href="http://www.satava.com/"><span style="color:#cc6633;">http://www.satava.com/</span></a>. Satava’s interest in glass began back in 1969 in California, and he opened his studio in 1977.</p>
<p>You might want to start sharing about this beautiful glass with your contacts, so they’ll be ready to purchase whatever you find – sort of like selling before you purchase &#8212; and that isn&#8217;t all bad. In fact, I am making my list of customers as I type this blog. I believe that if I can find some pieces at today’s prices, my customers can double their purchase price within the next year.</p>
<p>I have to admit, I fell in love with the nautical pieces, and I must have one of the Jellyfish pieces for myself. I hope to talk with Richard in the near future, because I won&#8217;t be at peace until he shares with me how he makes the Jellyfish. If you find one of his pieces, and you’re not interested in it, please call me and give me a chance at it.</p>
<p>You should be aware there are others who now are making Jellyfish pieces, such as Christoper Lowry, however, in my opinion, no one matches the artistry of Richard Satava.</p>
<p>The 31 Club promised to keep its members ahead of the trend, and by announcing that Satava Art Glass is one of the new featured items suggested by the 31 Club, we&#8217;re doing just that. I would think that if you mentioned Satava to the average person today, they would say “Who?” But, that won&#8217;t last long.</p>
<p>I want to encourage all of you to bring items that catch your attention to the 31 Club, so that its members can evaluate them, and if they pass our scrutiny, we&#8217;ll recommend them for purchase. So many fantastic works of art go unnoticed because they are never fully brought to the public’s attention. Believe it our not, Tiffany was just another name until a lady in New York by the name of Lillian Nassau sponsored it and bought these wonderful pieces to the place where today, Tiffany is a household name.</p>
<p>The next ten days are going to be very difficult, as I travel to the Smokies, but I’m sure your staff is up to the task at hand. I can share with you that Cindy is a little nervous about how communications are going to proceed next week, but I assured her everything will be all right.</p>
<p>We may not be able to get to you as quickly as normal, but please be patient. I’ll be near a computer and also have my cell, but if I never put them down on this family vacation, I&#8217;m not sure that I will come back alive. My wife Vickie is small, but you’ve heard dynamite comes in small packages.</p>
<p>Have a wonderful week and be sure to remember what the 4th of July is all about.</p>
<p>God Bless you all.</p>

<p>Did you ever spot a painting but kept on walking because you couldn’t find out who the artist was?</p>
<p>Sunday, at the Chicago Antique, I purchased a small oil painting in a wonderful gilded leaf frame for $120. Cindy asked if I knew the artist, and I told her I didn’t. She asked me why I bought it. Cindy isn’t afraid to ask questions because she wants to learn. I told her I bought it because it’s signed, so if I can figure out who the artist is, I might have found a treasure. Now, I didn’t buy just any signed painting. It was very well done, and it also had a wonderful gilded leaf frame that was worth more than I paid for the painting.</p>
<p>I also purchased a very nice signed watercolor that was also very well done. I couldn’t pass it up for $30. I researched the name on the Internet and have e-mailed the artist to verify that it is her work. If the e-mail comes back positive, it could make my month.</p>
<p>Did I start out looking for a $30 painting? Not at all. Truthfully, I had more like $5,000 on my mind, but this $30 painting could bring a couple thousand. That ain’t so bad, as this country boy would say.</p>
<p>Go to our Fine Art Gallery and look at the <a href="http://www.31corp.com/marketplace/detail/17"><span style="color:#cc6633;">painting by Jean Faurege</span></a>. It just sold for $5,000 because it has the quality of an Edouard Leon Cortes or an Antoine Blanchard. No, you won&#8217;t find Faurege in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/193329518X/perfectmarket-20">Davenport’s</a> or on AskArt.com, but his work is outstanding. True collectors can appreciate it for what it is.</p>
<p>By the way, you did hear me correctly. This painting sold right here on our Marketplace for $5,000. This could have been your painting.</p>
<p>A 31 Club Member called yesterday to ask me about several paintings they spotted, of which only one had any interest. It was what she called a “couch painting.” But, after hearing her describe it, I knew that it should be purchased at about $50, and that had been the price that was in her mind to offer. At $50, she couldn’t go wrong. I’m hoping she acquired it because it might turn out to be a real find.</p>
<p>When you see a painting, you must judge the quality of the piece before you pass it by. No, you can’t pay $5,000 for an unidentified painting, but what about $100 or even $200. This may well be the best buy you make for a while.</p>
<p>The secret is to be able to examine an item and make a quick decision on what to do next. Time can quickly pass by and indecision will cost you money. Even an occasional mistake can be quickly overcome by correct decisions made quickly before someone else beats you out.</p>
<p>I have seen people pay hundreds of dollars for a potato that looks like some special person, knowing full well that the potato will shrivel up and rot after a short period of time. This makes me feel confident in buying items that I think are well worth the money, because I know they won&#8217;t shrivel away.</p>
<p>Thursday, I’ll be leaving for the Smokies for ten days, but I’ll have a cell phone and computer if you need me, and also Cindy will be there to serve your emails and calls.</p>

<div class="post-body entry-content"><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_sozZZCWv_aU/SGo5Yz-oGNI/AAAAAAAAA3o/8xMLQ_sbpLs/s1600-h/protobus%5B1%5D.jpg"><img style="display:block;cursor:hand;text-align:center;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_sozZZCWv_aU/SGo5Yz-oGNI/AAAAAAAAA3o/8xMLQ_sbpLs/s320/protobus%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div>
<p>I was privileged to have one of our members at my house the other day, and she brought her nine year old son along for the ride. I ended up spending a couple of hours with him on the computer and talking about our business. He was intrigued with the thought of making money by going to garage sales. His mother could hardly keep him at my house because he wanted to go out hunting for treasure right away. I’m wondering if his response has a special lesson to teach us.</p>
<p>In our haste to become successful, I hope we haven’t forgotten to take our children along with us. It’s never too early to share how to go fishing, as the Bible tells us. Let’s stop giving our children fish to eat and start teaching them how to fish for themselves at an early age. This way. We’ll never have to worry about them providing for themselves later in life.</p>
<p>My son, Joshua, has more fun going treasure hunting with me than almost anything he does. Often he’ll say, “Daddy, how about that vase over there? Would that be something interesting for us?” Out of the mouth babes, especially if it happens to be an artist signed piece of Rookwood.</p>
<p>He does have a passion for trains and lava lamps, and I encourage him to keep his eyes open for these pieces. When he finds something, we discuss the price that we’d pay for it. If the seller isn&#8217;t agreeable to that price, Joshua says “Daddy, that&#8217;s all it’s worth, right?” He never seems to be disappointed, he just starts looking for something else. I think that he’s learned some lessons that will serve him well in later life.</p>
<p>The Kid’s Connection is still waiting for more questions to be answered. I’m going to ask Joshua to write about something he’s interested in so I can include it in a future blog. He wants this section of our blog to be attractive to the kids and he’s attending “Apple One on One” at the Apple store so he’ll be able to put up videos and podcasst for the kids. I am still trying to find out what a podcast is.</p>
<p>By spending time with your children treasure hunting, there may be some surprises there for you also. Have you looked at the auction prices for toys these days? It is nothing for a toy to bring $25,000 to $30,000 or more. How about the Hot Wheels VW Bus that sold for $18,000? A box of marbles just sold for almost $20,000. And they say these are children&#8217;s toys! I don&#8217;t think so. Our member, Marsha, called yesterday to tell me about a metal rocking horse she just bought. I can’t wait to see its value.</p>
<p>Shared time pays great rewards, now and forever. I think a wise man said that I just can&#8217;t remember who.</p>

<h3 class="post-title entry-title"><em>Using Fine Art Paintings, Antiques, Collectibles to Grow Personal Wealth</em></h3>
<p class="post-title entry-title"><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_sozZZCWv_aU/SGceqyIQ8aI/AAAAAAAAA3Q/Mw2RSf89yoU/s1600-h/howdy_doody%5B1%5D.jpg"><img style="display:block;cursor:hand;text-align:center;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_sozZZCWv_aU/SGceqyIQ8aI/AAAAAAAAA3Q/Mw2RSf89yoU/s320/howdy_doody%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />
For years, I have said that prints held very little interest for me. However, my attitude might be changing for the short run.</p>
<p>Having worked with a lady for several months on selling her Andy Warhol prints, I told her I could no longer present them on our website when I secured a buyer at the posted price and she decided not to sell them. At the time, the price was $35,000 each for Warhol&#8217;s &#8220;Howdy Doody&#8221; and &#8220;The Witch.&#8221; I checked prices the other day on these two Warhol prints and found that they have almost doubled in price since I listed them. I know you won’t believe this&#8211; I hardly did, but the asking price for Warhol’s Mickey Mouse print is now over $100,000. For a print!!!</p>
<p>I might say that this is an exception, but some good fortune has come my way by this increased value of prints. I scanned the completed sales on eBay for a Marc Chagall print I’ve owned for some time, and there on the screen right in front of me was my print. And it had just finished its auction at $12,000. You can bet there will be another one listed soon.</p>
<p>Then, Cecil called me this morning to tell me that a print he had hanging in the booth at the antique mall where he sells many of his items, had just sold for over $1,000 and another one for over $400. These prints, by Buffet, had been there over a year, and Cecil half expected them to be just decorative wall paper to make the booth attractive.</p>
<h4 class="post-title entry-title">So what is happening in the print market? Has true art has become so expensive that most people no longer can afford it? And, what do we do with this trend?</h4>
<p class="post-title entry-title">While I still have very little faith that this market in prints can be sustained, it doesn&#8217;t mean that we shouldn&#8217;t take advantage of this trend while it&#8217;s here. Money is money. If people are willing to spend big bucks on prints, let&#8217;s scour the countryside for them. Be sure, however, to list each print you buy quickly, so you don’t get stuck with many of them should the market reverse course.</p>
<p>The only warning I would give you is to not buy prints that have a certificate of authenticity with them. Usually these pieces were produced to take advantage of the buyer by unscrupulous sellers. There are exceptions, but let the buyer beware.</p>
<p>To build your client base in the Art business, it will always be best to encourage them to buy the real thing, and the best they can afford. In the Art World, it isn&#8217;t how much you own, but rather the quality of each piece in your collection. If you help your clients to assemble an art collection with the best they can afford, always putting their best interest above making money, they will be your customers for life, and you will become the person other people will look to for advise in building their collections.</p>

<div class="post-body entry-content"><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_sozZZCWv_aU/SGXcBW3rNSI/AAAAAAAAA3I/YOhYbCjexsY/s1600-h/prdlrg687%5B1%5D.jpg"><img style="display:block;cursor:hand;text-align:center;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_sozZZCWv_aU/SGXcBW3rNSI/AAAAAAAAA3I/YOhYbCjexsY/s320/prdlrg687%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />
Cindy and I will be attending the first antique market for us this summer; the <a href="http://randolphstreetmarket.com/"><span style="color:#cc6633;">Randolph Street Market Festival</span></a>, formerly the Chicago Antique Market. If Cindy can get our new video camera operating right, we hope to have some video to share with you of our adventure at this urban market and festival, including a visit with Sally Schwartz, who owns the event.</div>
<p>If you’ve been following our blog, you might recall that Sally is a member of 31 Club, and last summer, she sold a valuable Pauline Palmer Painting that had been in her family, and its six digit figure sale changed her life. She was able to buy out her partner’s share of the Chicago Antique Market and make it her own. (Here&#8217;s <a href="http://antiques-collectibles-auction-news.com/2007/09/27/record-sale-of-pauline-palmer-painting-breathes-new-life-into-sally-schwartz-co-founder-of-chicago-antique-market/"><span style="color:#cc6633;">the story</span></a> Cindy wrote about it.) We sure hope that if you’re in Chicago this summer, you’ll pay a visit to this fine summer urban market.</p>
<p>This visit to the market will give Cindy and me a chance to reacquaint ourselves with the new dealers we met last summer, as well as a chance to visit with old friends.</p>
<p>I have been assured that there will be great paintings, pottery and glass, so you know I will be feeling as if I’m near heaven as I browse around inside and out for true treasures. Sally has wanted to create an atmosphere of a Paris Festival, and with her talent, I certain it will be just that.</p>
<p>Remember to take your time as you approach each booth at a market or flea market, and see if you can pick out the better pieces from a distance. As you practice, you will be able to eye the items that are of interest, and the other items will quickly pass from your eyesight. When I started attending Flea Markets, it was an all day job, but today I can usually complete a market in under four hours, regardless of its size.</p>
<p>When you do spot something of interest, be sure to inspect it for damage first, and then ask the dealer to tell you all he knows about the piece. Often, you will know as much as he does, but be sure to be attentive. If it happens to be something you want to buy, your attentiveness will start you out on his good side.</p>
<p>Before you start negotiating for anything, always identify yourself as a dealer. This usually assures you of at least a 25% discount, while the normal discount to the public is 10%. Other dealers know that you must be able to make a profit from the items you buy, so most of them will work with you. If for some reason you can&#8217;t come to an agreement on price, be sure to return later. If the item is still there, take another pass at it. If the pieces is over priced, most dealers will know that you are aware of this, and a 50% discount can be in the cards and may well be accepted.</p>
<p>The later in the day, or later into the event, the lower your price should be. The reason for this is that if you are the first to see a special piece, then the dealer could have it underpriced so a very little discount could be in order, but as the sale progresses more and more people will have looked at the piece, so at the asking price it probably isn&#8217;t a bargain, if they have passed on it.</p>
<p>I will be leaving for the Smokies next Thursday, so I hope that every member will use these next few days to prepare for the ten days I will be away. Yes, I will have my cell phone for you if that special items becomes available, and I’ll have a laptop to continue the Blogs, but I do hope to rest a little and have fun with the family.</p>

<h3 class="post-title entry-title"><em>How to Buy and Sell Antiques &amp; Fine Art and Accumulate Personal Wealth</em></h3>
<p class="post-body entry-content"><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_sozZZCWv_aU/SGTkGx2YUCI/AAAAAAAAA3A/3TAftfr-sfI/s1600-h/1214484220-6982%5B1%5D.jpg"><img style="display:block;cursor:hand;text-align:center;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_sozZZCWv_aU/SGTkGx2YUCI/AAAAAAAAA3A/3TAftfr-sfI/s320/1214484220-6982%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;"> <strong>A Member of the 31 Club Located this Historical Document Signed by Patrick Henry, and it was then purchased through the 31 Club Associates Program. </strong></span></p>
<p>When we started the 31 Club, we aimed at formulating a plan that would help people walk the success steps of life. The ideas that have come from meetings with Cindy, Chris, Clarke and Jeremy have spoken about many have proven worthy of our efforts, but one program that your 31 Club has started is beginning to stand out above some of the others. That is the Associates Program.</p>
<h3 class="post-body entry-content"><strong>The Associates Program of the 31 Club gives members the opportunity to participate in a transaction when they find and present an outstanding item to the 31 Club for purchase. If we are able to buy the piece, the member will receive 35% of the net profit of the transaction.</strong></h3>
<p class="post-body entry-content">We now have Associates in Texas, Kentucky, Michigan and Illinois. I feel certain that in the coming months, we will have a 31 Club Associate in every state. Through this program, you will have the opportunity to advance in your Race to the Millions faster than it might be possible to advance by yourself.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t fully understand the program and would like a more complete explanation, e-mail me at info@31corp.com and put “Associates Program” in the subject line.</p>
<p>We have transactions in the final stages on items we’ve purchased when 31 Club Members found a great item, didn’t have the funds to purchase it, but called us to buy it using the Associates Program. When these transactions are completed, members will be putting thousands of dollars in their pockets, while at the same time, they are receiving the best education possible in the Antiques, Collectible and Fine Art field.</p>
<p>Already in partnership with members of the 31 Club, we’ve purchased a valuable historical document signed by Patrick Henry, a painting by Walter Darby Bannard worth thousands of dollars, Rookwood and Muncie lamps, and several other paintings that will soon be appearing in our Gallery &amp; Marketplace.</p>
<p>We are waiting for each one of our members to take advantage of perhaps the greatest benefit you’ll receive for becoming a member of the 31 Club.</p>
<p>Something interesting and humorous happened yesterday when I received an e-mail from one of my favorite people and one of our earliest members. She told me about an Estate Sale where a Rookwood Lamp and a Muncie Lamp were being offered. She thought they were priced a little high, so she asked what would be a good price to offer them the next day when the price would be reduced. I immediately sent her back an e-mail to call me because I thought we could have a good laugh together. She got right back to me, and I had to tell her that I had already purchased the two lamps the day before.</p>
<p>Here’s what happened: I got a call the day before from another lady who was interested in the sale, and she told me about these wonderful lamps. She was interested in purchasing these using the Associates Program. So, I called the person conducting the sale to see if we could buy them. I was told it wasn’t possible, but if I called the next day after 12:00 noon and they hadn’t been sold, I could have them. I called and they were available.</p>
<p>Naturally, I bargained a little before completing the sale. I’m sure the same thing could happen in the future where two people see the same sales ad and call me. So, if there’s something you think might be interesting to us to buy through the Associates Program, the sooner we are notified, the better. And remember, the Associates Program is for Members Only. So, it you’re still hanging out and just following the blog, it’s time to get off the fence and join us today.</p>
<p>This story brings back that old saying: The Early Bird Gets The Worm.</p>

A Patrick Henry Historical Document will soon be listed in the <a href="http://www.31corp.com/marketplace/"><span style="color:#cc6633;">31 Gallery &amp; Marketplace</span></a>.<br />
</span></strong></div>
<p>Little did our 31 Club Member, Cecil, know that a real country flea market in Greenville, Kentucky was the setting that would put him at the right place to uncover historical treasures. In case you’re wondering, a real country flea market is one of those markets where you can buy chickens, pigs, ducks and even a mule if you need one. You might also find homemade jams and jellies and a selection of tempting cakes and pies, and an assortment of other merchandise.</p>
<p>”I was walking down the rows of booths,” Cecil told me, “and my eyes focused on a pile of old papers. After some study, I discovered that they were stock certificates for the Nashville, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad Companies. I counted them, and there were 55 of them. I asked the dealer the price for all of them, and I was surprised that he asked so much &#8212; $90. I bought them anyway.”</p>
<p>Cecil listed one certificate that night and was surprised that there were already bids on this item the next morning. When the auction was completed, the final bid was $27.</p>
<p>“I estimated a price on the remaining certificates,” Cecil said. “Then I added them up and saw that my $90 investment could come near to $1,500 by the time I’m done.”</p>
<p>Can you imagine this much money for “worthless paper” that wasn’t even filled out?</p>
<p>As I’ve said before, there’s a collector for almost anything, and you can be sure that the attraction of these certificates will be from those who collect Railroad or Transportation items.</p>
<p>I am consistently amazed at how Cecil can pluck out treasure after treasure, even at an event like this one.</p>
<p>How many times have you gone to a garage sale or a flea market and seen stacks and stacks of paper lying in a heap? Newspapers, Magazines, Advertising, and maybe even some old stock certificates are often put out at sales like these. I&#8217;ve seen people looking through these stacks, just looking &#8212; having no idea what they were looking for. And if there was something valuable, it would’ve gone unnoticed.</p>
<p>Cecil never misses the chance to browse through old paper, and it was his browsing that turned up a Historical Document from the time of the Revolutionary War, signed by none other than <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Henry"><span style="color:#cc6633;">Patrick Henry</span></a>. (&#8221;Give me Liberty or give me death”) Cecil used the 31 Club’s <strong>Associate Program </strong>to help purchase this historical piece and it&#8217;s now for <a title="Patrick Henry Document" href="http://www.31corp.com/marketplace/detail/108">sale in our Gallery &amp; Marketplace.<br />
</a><br />
I think you’ll agree that Cecil had a pretty good week. Remember, this is the same Cecil who bought ten vintage travel posters, still in their tubes, for $30 each yet still hasn’t listed them. I’m hoping he will list them on our marketplace, because I know a least one of the posters is selling today for about $12,000!</p>
<p>Paper collectibles has been very good to Cecil and Paper can be good to you if you’ll study and gain the knowledge necessary to separate the wheat from the chaff. Perhaps one of the reasons I enjoy writing about Cecil so much is because I know where the first fruits from his grains go.</p>

<p class="post-body entry-content"><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_sozZZCWv_aU/SF58oTFPC3I/AAAAAAAAA2Y/rsg0kKg3wXk/s1600-h/electric_storm%5B1%5D.png"><img style="display:block;cursor:hand;text-align:center;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_sozZZCWv_aU/SF58oTFPC3I/AAAAAAAAA2Y/rsg0kKg3wXk/s320/electric_storm%5B1%5D.png" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Every day, there’s more bad news about plummeting stock prices, the spiking foreclosure rate, and about the high price of gas and food causing many financial hardships. However, this financial climate has created the perfect storm for those of us working in the antiques, collectibles and fine art markets, particularly those of us who are working the 31 Club Plan.</p>
<p class="post-body entry-content">The 31 Club Plan is the plan I wrote about in my book, <a href="http://store01.prostores.com/servlet/21incantiqueandcollectibles/Detail?no=1"><em><span style="color:#cc6633;">31 Steps to Your Millions in Antiques &amp; Collectibles</span></em></a>, published just last year.</p>
<h3 class="post-body entry-content">Those of us working this plan are looking to profit substantially by locating and purchasing rare and valuable antique treasures to re-sell to collectors and the world&#8217;s wealthy. We work this market because we’re looking to build our financial futures, but find the traditional ways, like the stock markets and company 401K&#8217;s, just don&#8217;t seem to be doing what we need them to do.</h3>
<p class="post-body entry-content">We&#8217;ve discovered that there&#8217;s a limitless amount of money that can be made in the antique and fine art industry, so we&#8217;re getting ourselves up to speed. Many of us were already antique lovers, but some members are just now beginning to appreciate these fine items.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re learning, having fun, and meeting great people as we <strong>build college funds for our kids</strong>, and aim to have <strong>enough retirement money to live well, and not just get by</strong>. Our members each have their own personal financial goals, and they set their path accordingly. Right now, while the markets might be taking a beating, the higher end of the antique and fine art markets are still a blazing fire. This is where we want to be, and this is what we get educated about at the 31 Club.</p>
<h3 class="post-body entry-content">By working in the high end of the antique and fine art markets, along with the plan I’ve laid out in my book, you will discover that trading in the kinds of tangible goods sought after by the world’s wealthy will be the path that sets you and your family financially free.</h3>
<p class="post-body entry-content">But, first ask yourself if you consider yourself trainable and are okay with doing some hard work. You&#8217;ll need to be both.</p>
<p>At the 31 Club, we’re educating ourselves to recognize and locate these high quality items. We’re using specific strategies for buying, selling, and growing profits. And we’re doing it all in the Antique, Fine Art, and Collectible Markets. When we follow this disciplined approach, well – quite frankly we’ll find that people will be counting us among the world’s wealthy.</p>
<p>Right now during this perfect storm, I’ve seem more estate sales advertised then I can possibly attend. I’m certain that antique items that have not seen the light of day in decades will likely turn up, as people sell off their valuables for cash.</p>
<p>In my book, I’ve done my best to lift the veil of secrecy that pervades this business, so that anyone can gain access to it. And when it comes to making money, the simple truth is this:</p>
<h4 class="post-body entry-content">Money is made buying and selling, not sitting in an investment account or a piece of property. A planned approach to buying low, selling high, keeping your money turning and compounding will enable you to accumulate more cash than your banker or your broker will ever get for you. All in the Antiques, Collectible and Fine Art Markets.</p>
<p class="post-body entry-content">Most 31 Club Members a begin with a $100 purchase in the antique, collectibles and fine art markets, and continue to grow their money from this initial investment. That’s the 31 Club Plan. I’ve laid it out in my book, and I Blog everyday to help educate you. Members e-mail me and call me for guidance. Some of our members are making more progress than they ever thought possible. If you’re new to this blog, stick around and take a look at our archives. We think this is the place you’ll want to hang your hat. And if you&#8217;re already a member, let this serve as a reminder to continue on the path.</p>

<div class="post-body entry-content">
<div><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_sozZZCWv_aU/SFuS2uC9KbI/AAAAAAAAA2Q/Fk5L03CnVZk/s1600-h/8748_1%5B1%5D.jpg"><img style="display:block;cursor:hand;text-align:center;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_sozZZCWv_aU/SFuS2uC9KbI/AAAAAAAAA2Q/Fk5L03CnVZk/s320/8748_1%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> <strong><span style="font-size:xx-small;">These J.O. Bass original spurs sold on eBay for $8,700 on June 7, 2008. </span></strong></div>
<p>I used the phrase “Go West Young Man” the other day, and that’s exactly what I’ve done. For ten years straight, Vickie and I traveled to Sheridan, Wyoming to the <a href="http://www.eatonsranch.com/"><span style="color:#cc6633;">Eaton&#8217;s Ranch </span></a>and spent a week in the beautiful Bib Horn Mountains. I recommend this ranch to anyone that wants to experience the Old West as it was.</p>
<p>On our first trip to the Eaton’s Ranch, we were greeted by the wife of Big Bill Eaton, and these were her instruction: “We have a working ranch here, and we serve our wranglers food three times a day. If you’re hungry, you will show up. There will be a horse assigned to you equal to your ability to ride, and it will be yours for the week. The cabin assignments are posted on the bunk house wall. By the way, there are no locks on the doors. Other than this we hope not to see you unless there is a problem.” She meant every word, and these vacations were the best that I have ever experienced. Riding over 25,000 acres of mountains and flat land is an experience that I will never feel again unless we travel to the ranch one more time. You could spend the entire day in the mountains and never see another living sole. Just Deer, Antelopes, Fox, Wild Turkey, Elk, Bison and let’s not forget a few Rattlesnakes.</p>
<p>Can you now see why I fell in love with the West? This is where I first saw paintings by William Gollings, Remington, Curtis and so many others and knew that I would be searching to own them for the rest of my life. If you ever stray out that way, be sure to visit the Don King Museum in Sheridan. You will never see so many saddles, bridles and ropes in your whole life again.</p>
<p>By now you might be asking what this all has to do with collecting. I assure you, it does. What if you run across a Hollywood Saddlery Silver and Gold mounted saddle with Walt Goldsmiths Silver and Gold breast plate? This piece could easily command $10,000 or more. Then you may run across a pair of Batwing Chaps with hundreds of nickel studs priced at $2500. Not to be out done there are the Edward H. Bohlin Sterling Silver Spurs with the engraved Gold Horseheads for $8000. Believe it or not, these are the cheaper items in these classifications. Many of the Western collectibles will run in the $100,000 category or more. Western Memorabilia has been hot for many years and it doesn&#8217;t seem to be losing its glitter any time soon.</p>
<p>When you combine these items with Western Art, you have the road to success opened to you. Yes, these items will be identified in the West, but how about where you live? Do you think someone on a trip back in the 1930&#8217;s or 40&#8217;s might have brought something home with them from the West? I have seen items worth tens of thousands packed away in some old trunk in the attic or basement just waiting to be found. Often the price for these items will be below $100. In fact I have already shared the story about the Indian blanket that was found that way and after being purchased for very few dollars, sold the second time for $200 and the third time for over $300,000. My hope for you is that when you buy an item, you will be the one selling it for the larger amounts because you’ll have the right knowledge necessary to recognize the true value.</p>
<p>Saddle Up, Buckle Up and let’s move those Lil doggies.</p>
