Check out my show on BallenIsles TV Channel 63. This week I talk about Looted Art.

CENSUS AND CENTS-ABILITIES

  
 
At auction yesterday, April 14th, the first census of the United States signed by Thomas Jefferson sold or $122,000.   

 

Also, yesterday, in response to my comments on Tepper Gallery closing its doors, I received an e-mail from  reader advising me they had furnished their entire apartment with items they bought  at auction from Tepper, and wanted my suggestions on where to go next time around. I suggested Doyle Galleries on East 87th st. in New York City. Great values if you are aware of what you are bidding on.

Prices of diamonds, and colored stones are down. Do not sell...Hold!  As the economy gains, so will these commodities.  It may be good opportunity for buying, but be careful. Do not fall into the trap of having your adrenalin get into the way of buying emotionally.
