I have about 30k ( on a good day) worth of antiques and collectables - free and clear.

I could sell, but the market economy is so low, I'd hate to see such little return. I've been waiting for an upturn. I have other ideas, too.

Now I feel folks think I'm a loser because I need advice and someone to turn to.

I'm cash poor. Makes me sad and embarrassed.
I have approx. $1,500 in credit card debt and I hate just paying off the minumum fee each month.

Someone wonderful showed me another opportunity.
I think I really, really need to talk with him.


What do you think, please?


What would you do, friends?
