You've changed your focus, run out of space, tired of dusting or just need the money. Whatever the reason, it's time to lose the collection. But how?If you're not in a hurry selling items individually will usually bring higher prices than if selling the entire collection as a group, which is also more difficult.Online MallsGetting the best price depends on the venue chosen, e.g. don't sell autographs on a site that is heavy into antiques or vice-versa.

REVIVING DEAD STRIP CENTERS, MALLS & DOWNTOWNS
2008-04-07 06:37:00 Dead Shopping Centers & Strip Malls Can Be Revived. Many investors and developers fell into developing various configurations of strip malls, beginning forty years ago. Rather than retain experts in retail center design, leasing and management, they assumed there were no particular tricks to any of it. Prospective tenants didn't know much better, so leasing went smoothly and that further validated for all involved in the development and leasing that they were right - there was no need for experts. Then the centers' retail sales began to fall, tenants moved out, sales failed further. Well cities are full of these failed centers. Some have a handful of marginal tenants; others have no tenants at all and are for all practical purposes, boarded up. Dallas and the surrounding area are full of them. Unless the neighborhood demographics and the drive by traffic have changed dramatically, almost all of those centers could be redesig...

Asian Environmental Issues Exhibition at SM The Block
2008-02-21 01:21:00 The Japan Foundation Manila's 10th Asian Cartoon Exhibition is currently on display at the activity center of SM North EDSA's The Block. The exhibition's theme is Asian Environmental Issues. Drawings and sketches created by Asian cartoonists focus on environmental issues, but given that they are cartoons, the issues are portrayed with a touch of humor. It is a little ironic that the Japan Foundation is sponsoring this, because the Japanese government has plans to dump its country's toxic wastes in our country through the JPEPA deal. But...that's another story.Representing the Philippines is Elizabeth T. Chionglo, creator of the comic strip Love Knots, which can be read in the Philippine Daily Inquirer from Mondays to Saturdays. Environmentally-related works from Love Knots and her other comic Bobita are displayed. I read the Love Knots series in the Inquirer everyday. It always focuses and sheds humor on major current events such as the Peninsula Siege and the ZTE Scandal. I'm...
