I share a similar story. Saved my house by selling stuff from my house. Then i met dealers who talked to me about their specialist areas. I then developed an I for treasure. I find it harder to find bargains today because the knowledge is generally available and somethings like wade, delft has changed in value.
Walter, you are an amazing man in all that you do and all that you have done to get to where you are. You have worked so hard. You are such an inspiration! I know what you are saying about the pieces that you have chose to put in your home, they are so special, I love all my stuff :) I love your passion. I love watching your adventures. Please know how much we appreciate your videos, insight and knowledge. Thank you so much!!! XXO
I'm not bothered about the videos Walter you got a business to run and don't stress yourself on making them but keep up the great work ;) I'm really hoping to call in I'm delivering a buddha's head up Mountain Ash on Saturday so I might call in.
