<p>Headed to the 2011 Super Bowl this year and you don&#8217;t yet have the tickets?</p>
<p>Well, how about you sit in the luxurious Star Level suites in Arlington, Texas this year.  Currently on eBay there is an auction for a total of 30 VIP Super Bowl tickets where you&#8217;ll be treated like royalty on the suite level for a mere $232,500.</p>
<blockquote><p>Each ticket covers food and beverages including beer and wine (with proper ID). A suite attendent (bartender) will be stationed in the suite and mixed drinks, etc. will be available at your cost. Food set up will be a special Super Bowl menu at no additional cost. This great package also includes two VIP parking passes. These passes will allow you to get as close as possible to the stadium.</p>
<p>This suite is located at the southwest corner just above section 319 on the home side. This luxury suite is beautiful and offers a great panoramic view of the stadium (the photos above are taken from the suite)! The suite is not exclusive and will be shared with the owner and his guests.</p></blockquote>
<p>Sounds like the best way to ring in the 2011 Super Bowl to us!</p>

<blockquote><p>Two Aston Martin DB5s were used on screen for the production of the  timeless 1960’s James Bond classics, <em>Goldfinger </em>and <em>Thunderball</em>.  One of those two cars was reported stolen in 1997 and is believed to  have been destroyed. The other is the FMP 7B, which will be auctioned  off. The car features silver birch exterior paint and dark gray leather  interior.</p>
<p>Bond’s Aston Martin DB5 and its gadgets were the brainchild of  Oscar-award-winning special effects expert John Stears, also of <em>Star  Wars</em> and <em>Chitty Chitty Bang Bang</em> fame. The car was sold  in 1969 to American Jerry Lee, who became FMP 7B’s first ex-factory and  remaining owner. The car was originally purchased from the Aston Martin  factory for $12,000. For a time, Lee agreed to allow Aston Martin to  continue to use FMP 7B for promotional purposes in the United   States.  Today, the odometer shows approximately 30,000 miles, primarily from its  tour usage. A careful re-commissioning program was recently undertaken  by RM Auto Restoration, returning the car to running condition after its  long-term static storage.</p>
<p>Proceeds of the sale of FMP 7B (which are anticipated to be around $5  million) will be used to further the charitable work of ‘The Jerry Lee  Foundation’, a multi-national initiative dedicated to solving social  problems associated with poverty, with an emphasis on crime prevention.  RM Auctions is the world’s largest collector car auction house and  specializes in investment-quality automobiles, holding four of the top  five world record prices for motor cars sold at auction.</p></blockquote>
<p>Wonder how much this baby will end up going for?  Well at least I can start the auction!</p>

<p>With China continually on the rise and the business respect for the country grows more and more every day, it&#8217;s no wonder that a rare collection of Chinese Qing Dynasty imperial works of art broke records at a recent Sotheby’s Hong Kong auction.</p>
<p>On the auction block was one extremely rare piece, an <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601088&amp;sid=a_h6eX9L4kGM">Imperial White Jade Seal </a>that broke records, selling at a a huge $12.4 million, more than double what the seal fetched back in 2007.  I guess it&#8217;s a seller&#8217;s market for imperial art, huh?</p>
