How to Make Big Money on Antiques
New York, NY (ContentDesk) January 9, 2006 -- Ever wondered about the value of a favorite antique?
Wondered if something you owned was a long-lost treasure worth a fortune?
As viewers of televisions Antique Roadshow have learned, finding out the truth about the value of your stuff can be exhilarating.
But what can you do if you don't know the value of your family heirlooms, and no experts are in town? Author and art expert Robert J. Hughes says putting a value on your family treasures may be easier than you think, and doesnt require travel or patience.According to Hughes, you can actually have an expert at an auction house give you an unofficial appraisal by mail. In fact, the world's biggest auction houses offer a free opinion of the likely value of your property, if you think you might want to sell something there. Most people are still put off by the nature of auctions, says Hughes, but auctioneers are in the business of selling things, and experts at auction houses say that people who have things to sell -- from rugs and carpets, jewels, furniture and art, even wine -- shouldn't feel intimidated by these places.
Consider an auction house the brick-and-mortar version of an online auctioneer like eBay. "It's amazing what people do not know about the art world," says Hughes, whose new novel, "Late and Soon," is set at an auction house in New York City. Mr. Hughes, a reporter with the Wall Street Journal, has covered the art market extensively and has written about trends in art, such as the hottest artists or collecting areas, from furniture to unassuming-yet-valuable items such as one-of-a-kind lunchboxes. In "Late and Soon," Mr. Hughes opens a window onto an area where commerce and culture meet -- auctioneering.
Novelist Robert J. Hughes covers art auctions, the art world and culture for the Wall Street Journal, and can speak on those topics and also the many ways his novel "Late and Soon" will appeal to people everywhere.Contact:Betsy Steve646-437-1208.

Automatic Brain Works Overtime For You
Use all of your brain to be your most effective."Running on Automatic" is what I call the ability to visualize what you need to have happen. Automatic because the part of your brain that gives us most of our solutions is working all the time. When you are asleep or not. Most of us call it our subconscience. This part of your brain is processing what your awake aware or cognitive part of the brain is telling it is going on.
Our subconscience is not aware of any rational or philosophical system. It just helps us process the stuff we see, feel, smell, taste and hear. It is the core of our intuition. And most of all it can be exercised and controlled.When we understand how to feed our subconscious so it will work out our problems and help us get to where we need to be there is nothing you can't achieve.
