Auction Wally never fails to entertain and enlighten.

Walt Kolenda, aka Auction Wally, is a experienced appraiser, but that doesn’t even begin to describe his abilities.

He’s a:
1. podcaster,
2. one of the best writers I’ve come across in this industry,
3. ebook writer,
4. live auctioneer,
5. online seller,
6. and knowledgeable webmaster,
7. and friendly guy.

His site is filled with interesting information and auction price estimates. Take a look at www.auctionwally.com today!

I found an engaging blog by a former Etsy seller called HowAboutOrange.com.

What I like about this person and her blog:
1. Nice presentation. Clean lines, good font size and color.
2. Easy to read.
3. Good variety of topics, but not too cutesy nor a mommy blog.

Check it out!

Swarovski released a beautiful golden tiger annual figurine for 2010. It’s part of their Endangered Wildlife Trilogy.

There are two complementary cub figurines, one standing and one sitting. The adult figurine lists for $450 and the cubs are $180 each on the Swarovski site.

The Swarovski Collector’s Society Annual Edition can only be purchased by SCS members on their site. But anyone can buy them on eBay for a discount.

Here are the most watched Swarovski Tigers.

Tudor is a very popular watch line. Who wouldn’t want a watch named after Henry the VIII, King of England? He did whatever he wanted. Great show.

The Tudor watch used to be manufactured by Rolex but was split off in the 1960s. Rolex has a higher value than the Tudor, but expect to pay well over $1,000 for either brand.

Here are the most watched Tudor line of watches.
