• Do Online Surveys really pay?...

  ---I don't know but I'm about to find out. I just joined this survey site called Global Test Market ( click_to_visit_site ). According to them, for every survey that you take you accumulate points, points for which you can deposit to earn cash. But how do they pay the cash? Check? Directly to your bank? I'm not sure but I'm positive that it is specified somewhere in their site, I'm just a bit lazy right now to check.

   

  ---I'll come back later and tell you all if it worked. Maybe we can all join and earn some extra cash or not. Cross your fingers!

   Sculpture sets contemporary auction record of 23.8 million dollars

  Fri Nov 18,10:04 AM ET

  NEW YORK (AFP) - A large-scale metal sculpture by American artist David Smith has become the most expensive work of contemporary art ever sold at auction, fetching 23.8 million dollars at Sotheby's in New York.

    Five bidders competed for Smith's "Cubi XXVII" which was the starting lot at a Wednesday evening sale of 54 contemporary works that brought in 114.5 million dollars.

    The 1965 sculpture was finally snapped up by Manhattan dealer Larry Gagosian at nearly twice its high estimate of 12 million dollars.

    Experts attributed the record price to the fact that most of Smith's works are in museums or permanent collections and therefore make extremely rare auction appearances.

    "This exceedingly rare work was the pinnacle of a four-decade career," said Tobias Meyer, Sotheby's worldwide head of contemporary art and the auctioneer for the evening.

    The second best price of the evening was the 9.2 million dollars paid for "Jackie Frieze," one of two works in which Andy Warhol assembled portraits of Jackie Kennedy in a frieze format.
